Why NicheMaps exists
We believe indie builders and growth teams should compete on execution — not on who can afford the biggest data team.
Picking what to build is the highest-leverage decision in mobile — and the one most people make on gut feeling. Meanwhile, the winners are hiding in plain sight: apps already spending on ads, already monetizing, already scaling. The data exists, but it is scattered across ad transparency centers, store listings, and pricing pages.
NicheMaps pulls all of it into one place. We continuously ingest the public app catalog, enrich it with live Google and Meta ad creatives, and layer on growth and spend signals — so you can find the niches that are already making money and study the exact ads driving them.
We are a small, focused team that ships fast and keeps the product honest: real data, clear pricing, and no lock-in.
What we value
- Evidence over hype
- Every niche we surface is backed by real, verifiable signals — live ads, install momentum, and monetization proof — not vibes.
- Transparency by design
- Our ad data comes from regulator-mandated transparency centers. We show you the exact creatives and where to verify them.
- Speed to insight
- A columnar data lake over millions of apps means you go from question to answer in seconds, not spreadsheets.
