• Permission (SCRAPED_PERMISSION_DETAIL)
• Data safety (SCRAPED_DATA_SAFETY_DETAIL)

One app's position in one Google Play chart.

One App Store or Google Play review, in the same shape for both stores: star rating, title, full text, date, the app version it was written on, reviewer name, helpful votes, the developer's reply with its date, and the storefront or country and language it was read from. Deduplicated on the store's own review id, so a review reached through more than one storefront or sort order is charged once. Error rows, the per-app coverage report, apps that could not be found, and reviews that fail your own filters are all free, and there is no run-start fee.

• app profile (app-profile)

Per dataset item produced

• Start (start)

Charged once per customer review returned.

One app row from search, top charts, similar or a developer portfolio.

• App detail (app-detail)
• Review (review-result)

One row per Google Play app with installs, ratings, price, version and developer contacts. Filtered apps and links that fail are free. No fee per run.

• Review (review)

One scraped app or review. No start fee, no minimum; failed or empty runs charge nothing.

One app (details or list entry) returned in the dataset

• Review scraped (review-scraped)

One new review found and delivered since the previous run

• App-country poll (poll)

One review saved to the dataset (App Store or Google Play).

• Actor Start (actor-start)

One app on one store search: the app's position in the order the Google Play or App Store search page shows for the keyword and country, or not-in-shown-results for a tracked app that is not on that page, with how many apps the page showed, the app's name, developer, rating, installs or rating count, genre, price, icon and store link, and the app at position 1. With no apps listed, one row for every app the search page shows. In monitoring mode only first checks and changed positions (confirmed by reading the page a second time) are returned and charged at this price; each tracked app checked is also charged the separate check fee. Searches that could not be read, unknown countries and invalid input come back as free rows with the reason.

• App rank checked (monitoring) (app-rank-checked)

One keyword × app × store × country rank observation (found or definite not-found). Change/baseline/summary/error rows are free.
