Each app's weighted score is divided by the total weighted score across the keyword to give the share %. This reflects Shopify search behaviour: most installs come from the top of the results.

5. How many express checkout apps does ShopDigest track on Shopify?
ShopDigest tracks 96 express checkout apps on the Shopify App Store. Market share, rankings, and review data refresh weekly so you can track competitive shifts as they happen.
6. Why does the highest-share express checkout app differ from the #1 ranked app?
Rank reflects an app's current position in the Shopify App Store under express checkout (driven by Shopify's own algorithm), while market share on ShopDigest is estimated from review counts and other factors as a proxy for active installs. The two metrics move on independent dynamics, so the highest-share app and the #1-ranked app are not always the same — and a divergence between them is worth noting rather than assuming one will pull the other along. For express checkout, HidePay: Hide Payment Methods leads on share; see the rankings tab for who currently holds #1 position.
