App Builder vs MStore API

Head-to-head on the signals that matter, from the public WordPress.org data.

Active-install trajectory

App Builder moved down one install band, 600+ to 500+; MStore API moved down one install band, 3K+ to 2K+. That's a single step across the whole window, so there's no trajectory to draw. The download trend below moves daily.
