What's new in Fledly

Outliers now lists young apps from the US, UK, German, Canadian, Australian and Finnish Top Grossing charts, not just the US. Pick a store with the new Store selector, or choose All to see every store at once with a store badge on each card. Revenue outside the US is a rougher estimate, and Fledly marks it as one. The revenue slider and its presets scale to the store you pick.

When you track a new search, Fledly now checks where your app ranks straight away. Before, a new search showed "tomorrow" until the next daily run. The daily check still runs every morning.

The Free plan shows the top 3 proven app ideas, 3 search gaps and the 3 fastest-growing young apps, both on the site and through Claude, ChatGPT and other AI assistants. Every other idea, outlier and new earner is on Pro. Visitors who haven't signed in see the same top 3 on the home page, so you can judge the data before you make an account. Free still includes 1 app, 15 tracked searches, 3 competitors per app and MCP access. See plans.

Outliers has range sliders for estimated revenue, app age and new ratings per month, plus a Climbing this week toggle that keeps only apps moving up the charts. Proven ideas have a Hide crowded toggle that drops ideas with too many apps already in them.

The How it charges section of an outlier now groups in-app purchases into weekly, monthly, yearly and one-time prices, removes duplicates and sorts them, and shows up to 10 per app. It is the quickest way to see what a young app actually asks people to pay.

Today shows your own ranks and competitor changes, or the next step to take if you haven't tracked anything yet. App search in My apps runs as you type, and a Track the first 5 button adds suggested searches in one click. A sign-in link that has expired now says so, and you land back where you were going after you sign in.

• The comparison pages (Fledly vs Appfigures, Astro, Sensor Tower and Sonar) now match what Fledly does today: six stores, competitor tracking, email alerts, the launch plan, free tools and 18 MCP tools.
• Fox joins the big publishers whose apps don't count as young earners, from the next daily data update. A big company's new app is not something a solo developer can copy.

Idea verdicts are now a three-step mark (three filled squares for Build, two for Consider, one for Pass) instead of coloured pills. The same mark is used in the idea filters, the launch view and idea alert emails.

Signed-in users can send feedback from the Send feedback button in the app. It goes straight to the person who builds Fledly.

The Today, Ideas, Outliers and Market views now load the newest daily data when you sign in. If the data is ever more than a day old, the sidebar says so.

The home page shows a real app idea and young earners from today's data, so you can see what Fledly finds before you sign in.

Fledly's MCP server has three new tools for competitors: track a competitor, stop tracking one, and get a competitor report with their changes, word gaps and positions in your searches. That makes 18 tools in all. Set up MCP.

The draft name, subtitle and keyword field in a launch plan pick more descriptive words, draw on more App Store autocomplete suggestions, recognise brand names and acronyms, and no longer repeat subtitle words in the keyword field, which leaves room for more searches.

Rank alerts, the Monday digest, idea alerts and sign-in emails share one clean design.

• The MCP setup page follows ChatGPT's current steps for adding a custom MCP server and explains which ChatGPT plans allow it.
• Plans now say "Use from Claude, ChatGPT and other AI assistants (MCP)", since MCP works with any compatible assistant.

Every tracked app has a Competitors tab. Add competitors by search or from one-click suggestions: 3 per app on Free, 10 on Pro and 25 on Studio. Fledly logs their daily changes to name, subtitle, icon, screenshots, price, description and in-app purchases, shows the words they use that you don't (click one to track it), and compares their positions with yours in your tracked searches.

Fledly emails you when a tracked search enters or leaves the top 10, or when your rank moves a lot. Every Monday a digest sums up keyword changes, competitor changes and new young earners in your saved ideas. Choose what you get on the email preferences page.

Start from this idea turns a proven idea into a launch plan: searches to target, a draft name, subtitle and keyword field, competitors and their prices, a price suggestion and the steps to ship. When your app is live, link its App Store id and the plan moves to rank tracking. Idea alerts email you when a new young app appears in an idea you saved.

The App Store metadata checker checks your whole listing against Apple's limits (name, subtitle, keyword field, promotional text, a description up to 4,000 characters and In-App Events), and the keyword field builder packs the searches you want into 100 characters. Both run in your browser with no sign-up, and both are also MCP tools. Every free tool now lives at /tools/.

Below #100 on a Top Grossing chart, estimated revenue now keeps falling with rank instead of levelling off around $50,000 a month. Young earners, ideas, the revenue calculator and the rank-to-revenue post all use the new curve.

New pages compare Fledly with Appfigures, Astro, Sensor Tower and Sonar, plus alternatives to Sensor Tower and Appfigures for indie developers, with prices as each vendor lists them and where the other tool is the better pick. Compare tools.

Studio workspaces can invite up to 3 people with an invite link from Plan and billing. Only the workspace owner manages billing.

The four parts of an idea's score (proof, repeat, pull and window) are now measured against the best idea of the same day, so the top ideas no longer all tie at 100. The verdict cutoffs moved with them: Build is 42 or more for an app one developer can build, Consider is 24 to 41.
