Frequently asked questions
What is Marlvel?
Marlvel is an independent platform built for mobile builders. It tracks iOS and Android apps daily and publishes living intelligence pages: AI-powered user sentiment, competitive positioning, store rankings, and version history, so you can spot the opening and ship into it.
What does a Marlvel intelligence report cover?
Intelligence reports cover AI-powered user sentiment analysis (a 5-level score from Thrilled to Upset, derived from recent reviews), competitive positioning (closest rival, contenders, same-space peers, emerging threats), store rankings history, version history, and monetization breakdown, with confidence scoring on key claims.
Is Marlvel free to use?
Yes. Rankings, app and publisher pages, and every report's summary are free to read, no account required. A free account unlocks the full report: all sentiment themes, market threats, and the analyst's take. Reuse of published data is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 (CC-BY-NC 4.0).
How often is the data updated?
App Store and Google Play rankings are snapshotted daily. Intelligence reports refresh on a rolling basis, prioritized by changes in input signals. Reports show when they were last verified.
Can AI assistants and LLMs cite Marlvel?
Yes. Marlvel exposes a machine-readable layer (llms.txt, llms-full.txt, per-app and per-publisher Markdown endpoints, and a /.well-known/ai.json discovery manifest) with explicit citation guidelines. Pages surface an ISO 8601 last-updated date so AI systems can attribute and date the data they cite.
Which apps and markets does Marlvel cover?
Marlvel tracks over 700,000 apps across iOS and Android, and publishes intelligence reports on top and high-potential apps in each category. Rankings cover the App Store and Google Play in 20+ countries. Intelligence reports focus on the US market, with coverage expanding.
