What Data and Metrics Does Chrome-Stats Provide for Browser Extensions and Apps?

Chrome-Stats provides historical performance data, download figures, keyword research, and competitor tracking for browser extensions and mobile apps across Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Android, and iOS. It is aimed at developers and marketers who want to measure how an extension or app is performing over time and how it compares with alternatives in the same category. If you only need a one-time snapshot of an extension's listing, the built-in store pages may be enough; Chrome-Stats becomes useful when you need trends, cross-platform coverage, or competitor comparisons.

Historical stats

The core of the platform is historical data. Rather than showing only the current user count or rating, Chrome-Stats tracks how those numbers change over time, so you can see whether an extension is growing, plateauing, or declining.

This matters because a single snapshot can be misleading. An extension with 50,000 users could be adding thousands per week or losing them steadily — the trend tells you which. Historical stats let you:

• Compare performance across different periods
• Spot the effect of a release, a store feature, or a marketing push
• Judge whether a competitor's position is stable or eroding

Download and user data

Chrome-Stats surfaces download and user-scale figures that help you estimate the size and growth trajectory of an extension or app. These numbers are the starting point for questions like:

• How large is the addressable audience in this category?
• Is this niche growing or shrinking?
• How does my extension's reach compare with the leaders?

Because the platform covers multiple stores, you can look at the same product concept across Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Android, and iOS rather than treating each store as an isolated market.

Keyword research

Keyword research helps you understand what users actually search for when looking for an extension or app. This is useful in two directions:

• Discovery — finding the terms that drive traffic to successful listings in your category
• Optimization — aligning your listing title, description, and metadata with the language users type into store search

If your extension gets impressions but few installs, keyword data can help you check whether you are appearing for the right queries in the first place.

Competitor tracking

Competitor tracking pulls the above metrics together across competing products. Instead of checking each rival's store page manually, you can follow their historical stats, download trends, and keyword positioning in one place.

A practical use: pick three to five direct competitors, track them over a few months, and note which ones gained users after a listing update or a new feature. That gives you evidence for your own roadmap decisions rather than guesswork.

Platform coverage

The cross-platform coverage is the main differentiator from store-native analytics, which typically only reports on a single store.

Who it fits

Chrome-Stats suits developers, indie publishers, and marketing teams who need trend data and competitive context for extension or app distribution. It is less useful if you only want to publish a single extension and never compare it against others, since the store dashboards already give you basic install and rating numbers.

The site lists a pricing page and a premium upgrade option, so some functionality sits behind a paid tier. Check the current pricing page for what each plan includes before committing, since the free and paid feature sets are not detailed here.
