Which product archetype is most common among tracked apps?

Consumer dominates: 546 of 757 archetype-tagged apps (72%) are Consumer, more than double the next archetype, Social (260 = 34%) [1]. 2-sided Marketplace (158), Prosumer (118), Enterprise (70), and Collaborative (53) follow [1]. All six archetypes clear N≥50, so each supports its own monetization and growth benchmarks. If you are positioning a new app, Consumer is the default archetype but the smaller archetypes have sharply different playbooks.

546 of 757 archetype-tagged apps (72%) are Consumer — July 2026.

The archetype leaderboard

Across 757 archetype-tagged apps [1]:

2-sided Marketplace15821%
Prosumer11816%
Enterprise709%
Collaborative537%

The tag is multi-valued, so apps can carry more than one archetype (e.g. Consumer + Social), and shares sum past 100%.

How to apply it

Consumer is the default lens for most tracked apps, but the archetype you claim carries a monetization prior: Prosumer is the most subscription-first (72%), 2-sided Marketplace the least (22%), and Enterprise/Collaborative bring B2B licensing forward [2]. Growth priors follow too — Enterprise/Collaborative lean sales-led while Consumer/Social lean mass channels. Pick your archetype deliberately, because it predicts both how you should charge and how you should grow.

Caveats

Denominator is the 757 archetype-tagged apps [1]. Archetype is multi-valued so a company can appear under several, and counts do not partition the population. Monetization priors referenced here are detailed in the linked subscription-share and growth pages [2].

Methodology. Universe: the 757 archetype-tagged apps in Lazyweb's ~800-app tracked corpus, July 2026 pull. Method: multi-valued tag prevalence. Caveat: apps can carry multiple archetypes, so counts sum past the app total.
