The company’s products have recommended 1.5 billion apps to its users, and it has more than 1.5 million daily users. The company is based is Paris, France, Tel-Aviv, Israel and Sunnyvale, California, U.S.
In 2009, Ouriel Ohayon and Yann Lechelle founded Appsfire.
In February 2010, Appsfire raised a round of seed funding. French angel investors Marc Simoncini, Jean-David Blanc, Jacques-Antoine Granjon, and Xavier Niel provided the financial backing, as well as Lerer Ventures.
In 2011, Appsfire received $3.6 million in Series A round of funding from IDinvest, a French venture capital firm. That same year, Appsfire hit 2 million users worldwide.
In 2012, Appsfire bought the app Appstatics, which helps developers track the ranks of their app in the iOS App Store and Mac App Store.
In 2015, the platform was acquired by the Mobile Network Group.
Appsfire provides mobile app discovery service for iOS and Android. The company builds applications and services that help find and recommend mobile applications that are relevant to each user; it can also find apps that are available for free or reduced in price. It ranks the apps by quality (App Score) rather than by the number of downloads.
