What Percentage of Apps Offer Sign In With Apple vs Google vs Email?

Across 289 apps with vision-extracted signup/login screens tracked by Lazyweb Research, 72.7% show an email option, 48.8% show Sign in with Google, and 43.6% show Sign in with Apple.[1] Email is still the most common path by a wide margin; the two big social providers land within five points of each other. Facebook trails far behind at 22.1%.

Of 289 apps with captured auth screens, 72.7% surface email, 48.8% Google, and 43.6% Apple sign-in (Lazyweb Research, July 2026).

The finding

Among the 289 apps whose signup/login screens were vision-extracted, email-based auth appears on 72.7% (210 apps), Sign in with Google on 48.8% (141), and Sign in with Apple on 43.6% (126).[1][2][3] Facebook login shows up on just 22.1% (64 apps) and phone/OTP on 26.0% (75).[4][5] Email remains the default backbone; Apple and Google are effectively co-standard, differing by only 5.2 points.

Provider prevalence

Google14148.8% [2]
Apple12643.6% [3]
Phone / OTP7526.0% [5]
Facebook6422.1% [4]

Counts are per-company (COUNT DISTINCT company), so an app is counted once regardless of how many auth screens it has.

How to apply it

If you are choosing which providers to ship, email plus Google plus Apple covers the modern default — that trio is what roughly half or more of tracked apps present. Facebook is now a minority choice (22.1%),[4] so treat it as optional rather than table-stakes. On iOS, Apple's App Store guidelines effectively force Apple sign-in wherever another third-party social login exists, which is why Apple (43.6%) tracks so closely with Google (48.8%).[2][3]

Caveats

Prevalence is extraction-based: it reflects what vision text found on the 289 apps' captured auth screens, not a ground-truth audit of every provider each app supports.[1] Absence of a match is not proof the app lacks the provider. The email figure (72.7%) uses a loose 'email' match and is an upper bound.[6]

Methodology. Universe: 289 mobile apps with at least one vision-extracted signup/login canonical screen (from ~807 tracked apps). Providers detected by regex over vision descriptions/tags on captured auth screens, deduped per company, July 2026. Caveat: extraction-based, so absence of a match is not proof of absence; the email match is loose and an upper bound.
