Reviews are the closest publicly available proxy for install volume on Shopify — Shopify doesn't publish install counts, so cumulative reviews and review velocity are the standard way to measure adoption.

BuyScout AI Store Agent is gaining the most new reviews this month among before and after apps, adding 35 reviews in the past 30 days. Switch the table sub-tab to "Review Changes" to see all apps ordered by review velocity.

Altera ‑ Export and Import has accumulated the most reviews over time (252), but BuyScout AI Store Agent currently holds higher market share.
