How Many Apps Are Added to the App Store Daily?

The Apple App Store is one of the largest digital marketplaces for mobile applications, hosting millions of apps across various categories. With the rapid growth of the mobile app industry, many developers and businesses are constantly submitting new apps. But just how many apps are added to the App Store every day?

Average Number of Apps Added Daily

According to recent data and estimates:

• Approximately 1,000 to 1,500 new apps are added to the App Store every day.

• This translates to roughly 30,000 to 45,000 new apps per month.

• As of 2024, the App Store hosts over 2 million apps (with many more removed due to policy violations or inactivity).

These numbers fluctuate based on factors like developer activity, seasonal trends (e.g., more apps before holidays), and Apple’s review process speed.

Factors Influencing Daily App Submissions

1. Developer Demand – The rise of no-code platforms and easier development tools has made app creation more accessible, leading to more submissions.

2. App Store Review Process – Apple’s strict review guidelines mean not all submitted apps get approved, but the approval rate remains high for compliant apps.

3. Market Trends – Emerging technologies (AI, AR, fintech) drive new app submissions as developers rush to capitalize on trends.

4. Global Expansion – More developers from emerging markets are entering the App Store, increasing daily submissions.

Comparison with Google Play Store

While the App Store sees 1,000–1,500 new apps daily, the Google Play Store (which has a more lenient approval process) sees nearly 3,000–4,000 new apps per day. However, Apple’s stricter guidelines often result in higher-quality apps.

The App Store continues to grow, with thousands of new apps added daily. For developers, this means fierce competition, but also vast opportunities. For users, it ensures a constant stream of innovative and useful applications.
