How we did this
We counted every app that launched on SpacerrApps between August 1 and August 31, 2026, in UTC, and was still listed on September 17, 2026, the day we took the numbers.
Category, pricing and platforms are what each builder chose for their listing, as the listing read that day. A person approves every app before it launches here, so every row is an app that passed review. We did not test the apps, and nothing here is a ranking. The report counts what launched, not how any app did afterwards.
If you are about to launch one yourself, where to submit your AI tool is the guide to read next.
