Show HN: App Theta Estimates Competitors' Revenue
- bhouston 11y agoFrom the website: > Step 1: "Sync your app sales reports to see sales trends and competitor predictions." Is that the main way in which you estimate app sales, because everyone syncs up their own sales and the you share it with competitors? Or do you merely use the actual sales data to train machine learning algorithms to better predict the actual?
- andrewljohnson 11y agoJust as you say, we're using "sales data to train machine learning algorithms" - and then we display these estimates for your app categories. Some larger shops instead use App Theta with their private data. That's our basic business model - use it for free, or pay to keep your sales out of the public training data, while still using the system. Also, please check out this FAQ: http://apptheta.com/faq/ http://apptheta.com/faq/ - we'd love to have comments on how we talk about the service.
