2. How are time-based Shopify apps ranked?
Rankings on this page reflect each app's position in Shopify's keyword search results for "time-based", 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.
3. Which time-based apps are climbing the rankings on Shopify?
Avada Order Limits Quantity has shown the strongest ranking momentum among time-based apps, climbing 4 positions to #5 over the past 30 days. Sort the rankings table by Rank Change (Low to High) to surface the full set of recent gainers.

6. How many time-based apps does ShopDigest track on Shopify?
ShopDigest tracks 96 time-based 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.
7. Why don't apps ranked beyond #22 show market share for time-based?
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.
