What percent of mobile apps offer social login (Sign in with Apple or Google)?

40.7% of tracked apps (329 of 809) offer a Sign in with Apple / Google or continue-with social login ^[1]. So social login is a plurality pattern, present in roughly 2 in 5 tracked apps — common enough to be expected, but far from universal. In Food & Drink it climbs to 63% and in Education 57%; in Finance it drops to 15% ^[2].

329 of ~800 tracked apps (40.7%) offer Apple/Google social login — Lazyweb Research, July 2026.

The finding

329 of 809 tracked apps (40.7%) surface a social-login option ^[1]. Adoption varies sharply by vertical ^[2]:

Vertical	Apps w/ social login	Denom	%
Food & Drink	17	27	63%
Education	21	37	57%
Navigation	13	25	52%
Magazines & Newspapers	13	25	52%
Health & Fitness	25	56	45%
Shopping	18	44	41%
Productivity	25	64	39%
Finance	7	47	15%

How to apply it

If you serve consumers in Food & Drink, Education, or Navigation, social login is the majority default — omitting it makes you the outlier ^[2]. In Finance, the opposite is true: only ~1 in 7 apps offers it, likely because these apps lean on phone/email + KYC identity. Match the vertical norm rather than the global 41% average.

Caveats

Prevalence is a lower bound — only reflects login screens Lazyweb captured ^[1]. Tags are LLM synonym phrases deduped by company; the social-login match spans Apple, Google, and generic 'continue with' phrasing, so it captures the family broadly. Per-vertical numerators for smaller verticals are modest; publish absolute counts alongside percentages.
