Insurance Shopify Apps – Analytics & Insights

Captain Shipping Protection holds the top spot for insurance with 26.0% market share, but the gap to challengers is closing, 18.7pp ahead of Insureful Shipping Protection (7.4%). Shipping Protection —Shipcheck sits at #3 with 9.7% share, rounding out the top tier. The top 3 apps together hold only 43.1% — meaning insurance is a fragmented market where lower-ranked apps still capture significant share. Insureful Shipping Protection is the standout mover this month, climbing 1 position — 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.

Captain Shipping Protection (26.0%) and Insureful Shipping Protection (7.4%) sit close at the top of insurance apps, and Insureful Shipping Protection climbed 1 position this month. Current rank is a thin signal in this kind of mover-heavy category — recent climbers often have stronger 6-month trajectory than today's leader.

Captain Shipping Protection climbed from #3 (Sep 2025) to #1 (Sep 2026) — a 2-position gain among insurance apps over the charted window.

United States dominates demand for insurance apps with 44.7% of all tracked installs — a single market that effectively defines the category's product priorities. Hong Kong follows at 21.6%, with China at 7.7%. Together, the top 3 markets account for 74.0% of insurance app installs worldwide. Australia (6.6%) and Netherlands (4.4%) round out the top 5. Hong Kong is the fastest-growing market this month (+11.8pp), pointing to accelerating demand outside the established leaders.

With 44.7% of insurance 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 Hong Kong (21.6%) and other regions sometimes find better fit in apps that over-index outside United States.
