2. How are forum Shopify apps ranked?
Rankings on this page reflect each app's position in Shopify's keyword search results for "forum", which Shopify computes from a mix of merchant install volume, review velocity, and recency. Apps beyond position #22 receive zero traffic in our market share calculation since merchants rarely scroll that far.

ShopDigest tracks 96 forum apps on the Shopify App Store. The full list is paginated in the table above — adjust the date range and sort order to drill into any window.
6. Why don't apps ranked beyond #22 show market share for forum?
For keyword pages, market share is rank-weighted: position #1 carries roughly 40× the weight of position #22, and apps beyond #22 receive zero weight. This reflects Shopify search behaviour — merchants almost never scroll past the top of the results, so positions further down don't translate to installs.
