Google Analytics Shopify Apps – Analytics & Insights

AB : Google Analytics 4 (GA4) ranks #1 for google analytics with 1.7% share — the leader position in a fragmented field where many apps are within striking distance, -94.2pp ahead of Google & YouTube (96.0%). Analyzely ‑ Google Analytics 4 sits at #3 with 0.3% share, rounding out the top tier. Together, the top 3 apps absorb 98.0% of all google analytics installs — a highly concentrated landscape with limited room for new entrants. Google Analytics Reports is the standout mover this month, climbing 12 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.

Google Analytics is a fragmented market — the top 3 apps together hold only 98.0% of installs, leaving AB : Google Analytics 4 (GA4)'s 1.7% lead modest in absolute terms and Analyzely ‑ Google Analytics 4 at 0.3% still capturing meaningful share. With this many viable apps, pricing model and integration depth differentiate google analytics options more than rank does.
