"As an indie developer, I've tried a few ways to research the App Store, but Indiecia stands out for one reason: it turns a messy, manual process into something I can actually reason about. Instead of guessing or scanning dozens of apps, I get a clear picture of what already exists and where the gaps are.."
Daniel Hart

"I usually skip research tools because they feel heavy and time-consuming. Indiecia feels different. I can check a name, understand the competition, and make a decision in minutes. That speed alone makes it part of my early workflow now."

Questions and answers
Indiecia is an App Store research tool that helps you understand what already exists, how crowded a space is, and how apps position themselves—before you start building.
We pull real-time data directly from the official Apple App Store API. This includes app names, categories, descriptions, ratings, and release dates to give you an accurate snapshot of the current market.
While we're built with the indie mindset—favoring speed and simplicity—Indiecia is used by solo founders, product managers, and small studios who need quick market validation without the enterprise price tag.
Those tools focus on revenue and downloads for established apps. Indiecia is for the 'pre-index' phase. We help you validate names and concepts when you only have an idea, focusing on visibility and competition rather than just numbers.
Yes! You can instantly check if a name is taken across all regions, see how many variations exist, and understand the naming patterns in your target category to stay unique.
We offer a free tier that allows anyone to explore and research basic ideas. For power users who need deeper data or more frequent searches, we offer a simple paid plan.
Indiecia is built by indie developers who were tired of using messy spreadsheets for market research. We wanted a tool that was fast, lightweight, and actually helped us make decisions.
