When it comes to stats for Facebook apps, there aren’t that many places to go. You can click around Facebook itself, but it almost seems like they are trying to hide the stats and make it hard to compare different apps. Adonomics was the first to offer rankings and even made-up valuations for each app. They were followed by Developer Analytics, which covers apps across all social networks and gives monetization estimates (but charges for its best data). And now the AllFacebook blog is getting into the game with a pretty decent set of free stats for Facebook apps.
Today, AllFacebook just launched a demographic widget that lets you create comparison charts for any age or gender on Facebook by country. The chart above, for instance, shows male versus female Facebook members in the U.S age 35 to 44 (the ladies outnumber the men in that age group by nearly two-to-one).
But the more interesting stats are for the apps themselves. You can sort by developer name, monthly active users, or daily growth rate. For some reason, Adonomics still ranks apps and developers by daily active users, even though Facebook switched to monthly stats a long time ago. For that reason, the ranking of top developers at AllFacebook and Adonomics is slightly different (see below).
I prefer AllFacebook’s approach. The data is all free and it is easier to switch and sort so that you see exactly what you want. Tracking growth rates is really helpful. I’d like to see more charting features like the one it introduced today for demographics. And that blue highlighting has got to go.
What is your favorite source of stats for Facebook apps? Where is the OpenSocial app tracker? There’s got to be something better than this.
Inside Facebook released an App Data a couple of months ago that also looks at the same stuff that AllFacebook does.
that can be usefull.

Thanks Holly. The correct link to AppData is:

For Facebook Demographics, you can also try our demographer tool :

No growth information yet, but full population pyramid and gender and age repartitions for your chosen geographic area.
I hope it can be usefull, and I also hope one of our app will hit the top of those interesting app rankings one day

Thanks a million for the writeup … we’ll definitely be rolling out more features and tools in the coming weeks so if you have any feedback I’d be happy to listen.
>> so if you have any feedback I’d be happy to listen.
Nice job on the new widgets.
A nit picky comment. I’ve always thought the CSS on your site needs to be improved. I don’t like how weblinks look like I used my mouse to select text. Why not use traditional blue (possibly underlined) links? Also, the blog posts should have some padding on the left. Currently, the text is pushed against the left of browser. This is totally nit picky, but when first visited your site the links made me think I shouldn’t take the site seriously.
Hi Chris,
We are completely redesigning the site but thanks for the feedback.
Best,
Nick

Incredibly impressive work on Nick’s part and great of TechCrunch to take notice. As a friend and colleague of his, it has been great to watch him cover the industry and deliver this level of innovation (which often takes entire teams and companies to do). Rock on.
Let me get this straight, the blogs AllFacebook and Insidefacebook (established to ride the coat tails of the FB platform) are now directly competing on app analytics too?
And TC covered the 2nd one to launch, but not the first?
I would say this arrangement (eg. blog + relevant database) mimics TC’s Crunchbase.
How imaginative (read: very uninspiring)!
