Donations Shopify Apps – Analytics & Insights

CharityChoice Donations ranks #1 for donations with 17.1% share — the leader position in a fragmented field where many apps are within striking distance, -43.9pp ahead of GoodAPI: Donations and Trees (61.0%). Donate Bee ‑ Easy Donations sits at #3 with 11.9% share, rounding out the top tier. Together, the top 3 apps absorb 90.0% of all donations installs — a highly concentrated landscape with limited room for new entrants. Lift: Charity and Donations is the standout mover this month, climbing 4 positions — a momentum signal worth tracking. Worth noting: the top-ranked app and the highest-share app aren't the same here — App Store rank and our market share metric (computed from review counts and other factors) move on independent dynamics, so cross-checking both views matters in this category.

Donations is a fragmented market — the top 3 apps together hold only 90.0% of installs, leaving CharityChoice Donations's 17.1% lead modest in absolute terms and Donate Bee ‑ Easy Donations at 11.9% still capturing meaningful share. With this many viable apps, pricing model and integration depth differentiate donations options more than rank does.

CharityChoice Donations climbed from #13 (Oct 2025) to #1 (Oct 2026) — a 12-position gain among donations apps over the charted window. Across the top 5 plotted donations apps, 3 improved their ranking while 1 declined — the category is moving upward overall. CharityChoice Donations's share expanded +16.9pp from 0.2% (Oct 2025) to 17.1% (Oct 2026) — a sustained widening of the gap against other donations apps over this window.

A 12-position move for the leader over the charted donations window is large enough to reflect real merchant adoption shifts, not just App Store noise — CharityChoice Donations's climb as of Oct 2026 is the strongest trajectory signal in this chart.

United States dominates demand for donations apps with 55.9% of all tracked installs — a single market that effectively defines the category's product priorities. Belgium follows at 17.1%, with Germany at 9.4%. Together, the top 3 markets account for 82.3% of donations app installs worldwide. Australia (4.9%) and Estonia (4.7%) round out the top 5. Belgium is the fastest-growing market this month (+11.4pp), pointing to accelerating demand outside the established leaders.

With 55.9% of donations app installs concentrated in United States, the leading apps in this category typically prioritize United States-based merchants for localization, currency, and support hours — merchants in Belgium (17.1%) and other regions sometimes find better fit in apps that over-index outside United States.

None of the top 5 donations apps tracked here have yet crossed 1,000 reviews. GoodAPI: Donations and Trees leads the set on current cumulative reviews with 226 — closest to the milestone, at roughly 23% of the way there.

With no app in this donations set having crossed 1,000 reviews, the category is still in early adoption. GoodAPI: Donations and Trees is the closest to breaking out at 226 cumulative reviews — worth tracking its per-month review velocity to see whether it's on pace to cross the milestone first.
