Summary
The Publisher Leaderboard ranks top app publishers by Estimated Publisher Worth, which aggregates the Estimated App Worth of all apps in a publisher's portfolio. Unlike other charts ranking by single metrics like downloads or revenue, this leaderboard uses a proprietary algorithm considering user estimates, user activity, international reach, and a secret sauce. The leaderboard is accessible via the main menu's Rankings dropdown.
It displays each publisher's Estimated Worth and icons for their top five most successful apps, which can be hovered for details or clicked to visit App Profile Pages. Clicking a publisher leads to their Publisher Profile Page. This tool helps users research successful publishers in their category to learn effective strategies for improving their apps and increasing downloads.

AdjustJapan’s finance app growth in 2026 | Adjust
Japan's finance app category is outperforming, with H1 2026 installs up 8% YoY and sessions up 40%—nearly 5x the install growth and well ahead of global figures (5% and 29%). Stock trading is the standout subvertical: installs +90% YoY and average session length climbing to 11.7 minutes, driven by NISA reforms and a retail investor resurgence. Retention is improving across the full 30-day curve (D1 17% to 19%, D30 7% to 8%). For ad ops teams, the takeaway is clear: prioritize measurement depth, re-engagement, and channel-level quality over top-of-funnel volume alone.
AdjustMeasure installs across more app stores | Adjust
Adjust has expanded store detection and verification across multiple app storefronts, making Store Type the primary dimension for identifying where an install originated rather than relying on platform or OS alone. For ad ops teams, this means campaign performance can now be analyzed at the store level across Huawei AppGallery, Xiaomi GetApps, Samsung Galaxy Store, Vivo Appstore, and Google Play variants, with independent verification of install origin. Newly detected stores are flagged in AppView with a direct route to configuration, and store-level data flows automatically into reporting, raw data, callbacks, and CSV exports, plus Conversion Rules via Store Rule conditions.
