What the App Store free chart shows on July 31
Banking and deal-finding now share the free podium story with social and AI utilities. The clearest day-over-day move on July 31, 2026 is Capital One Mobile reclaiming rank 1 while Capital One Shopping enters at rank 9, a same-brand cluster absent from the July 30 published 15.
Across the published top 15 of 50 API rows, habitual fixtures (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Google) sit beside school and carrier tools. ParentSquare at rank 14 reads as seasonal school engagement, not a confirmed July 31 product news spike.
