MightySignal

SDK detection and mobile app intelligence provider, acquired by Airnow in 2021

MightySignal was a mobile app intelligence and data analytics company that specialized in tracking software development kits (SDKs) and third-party technologies embedded within mobile applications. The platform provided detailed insights into the mobile app ecosystem by identifying which SDKs, advertising networks, analytics tools, and other third-party services were integrated into iOS and Android applications. This intelligence helped app developers, investors, advertisers, and market researchers understand competitive landscapes, technology adoption trends, and monetization strategies across the mobile app market. Founded in 2014, MightySignal built a comprehensive database of mobile app intelligence by continuously scanning and analyzing millions of apps across major app stores. The company's technology could detect hundreds of different SDKs and provide historical data on when technologies were added or removed from applications. In June 2020 MightySignal bought AppMonsta, an app market data API. In July 2021 the UK app-monetization company Airnow (formerly Airpush) acquired MightySignal, adding its SDK intelligence to Airnow's app data business alongside Priori Data.
