About

Global market leader in mobile data and app analytics intelligence

data.ai, formerly known as App Annie, is the global leader in mobile market data and analytics. Founded in 2010, the company rebranded to data.ai in 2022 to reflect its expanded focus on AI-powered insights beyond app store analytics. The platform aggregates data from millions of apps across iOS and Android, offering competitive intelligence, usage metrics, download estimates, revenue estimates, and audience demographics to help brands, publishers, and investors make informed decisions about the mobile landscape. The company serves a broad range of clients including app developers, media companies, financial institutions, and Fortune 500 brands seeking to understand mobile market trends, benchmark performance, and identify growth opportunities. Its proprietary data assets — built from a combination of app store data, panel-based usage data, and publisher SDK integrations — give it a significant competitive moat in the mobile intelligence space. In the AdTech and MarTech ecosystem, data.ai plays a critical role by enabling advertisers and marketers to understand app audience behavior, ad monetization trends, and competitive share of voice in mobile. Its acquisition by investment firm Francisco Partners and subsequent integration with IDC's App Annie business helped consolidate its position as the dominant independent mobile analytics provider globally.
