App store services split into installs, which are a genuine count, and ratings or reviews, which are priced per review and published per 1,000 like every other review product. No panel in our index currently lists either, so there is nothing here to price.
We have not read a price for App Stores (Google Play / App Store) services yet. The service is in the catalogue because the market trades it, but no panel whose catalogue we have synced currently lists it. There is nothing here to rank and we are not going to invent one. How the index is built.
Cheapest is the lowest single listing; median is the middle of every listing for that service. The Panels column is how many independent sellers the row rests on — dotted and amber below the threshold this site publishes a ranking at.
From 0 panels. No panel we have synced sells this, so there is nothing to compare.

These are listed alphabetically, with their rates as a range, and deliberately put in no price order. A ranking would assert that the rows describe the same amount of the same thing. They do not.

| Ratings / Reviews | per review | — | — |
Installs of an app, and ratings or written reviews on a store listing. Store accounts carry purchase histories, which is why supply is thin and per-unit prices are high.
Ratings are priced per review and published in the per-1,000 field, so the headline number is not a rate anyone can transact at. Listed unranked. Installs are a real count and would be ranked if any listing existed.
Install source is the entire product on the install row and no panel field records it. Installs from incentivised or emulated devices are removed from store rankings when detected.
App Stores (Google Play / App Store)’s own rule: We prohibit any manipulation of ratings, reviews, or install counts.

Both major app stores treat ratings manipulation as grounds for removing the app itself, which puts the distribution channel at risk rather than a metric.
None yet. No panel whose catalogue we have read currently lists a App Stores (Google Play / App Store) service, so this page carries no prices and says so rather than showing an estimate.
No. Neither row appears in any catalogue we have synced, so both pages show no rates rather than an estimate. The entries exist because the market trades these services and because the ratings row shares the per-review-published-per-1,000 unit trap that makes the review category unrankable.
Each of these is a term buyers routinely read as meaning something it does not.
