Follow the clues.

A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS

Curiosity
looks good on you.

Ask us something
Do I need an app already?

No. Start with a category or an app that inspires you. App Rush is designed to help you explore before you build.

What can I research today?

App listings, observed search visibility, public mentions, Meta Ad Library leads, and creator searches. Each tool shows the source or its availability.

Does App Rush cover iOS and Android?

Discovery starts with Apple’s public catalogue. When a Google Play match is found, you can open its listing and explore observed Android searches. Independent Android-only discovery is not available yet.

Are the search positions and ad results live?

Research actions request public source data when you run them. Search positions reflect the returned response, and Meta data depends on source access. Check the source links and collection dates for context.

How much does it cost?

We’re shaping plans around how people research. Explore the current workspace, then talk to us about the right fit. Published prices are not available yet.
