# Getting Started with the Competitors Report

To compete in today's mobile ecosystem, you need more than just a good hunch. You need a strategy. That's true for everything in the App Store and Google Play, indie games to streaming apps.

Every growth plan (aka strategy) is different, but at its core, it must include benchmarking your performance, setting realistic goals, and keeping tabs on what your competitors are doing.

That's where the [Competitors report](https://appfigures.com/reports/competitors) comes in handy.

The Competitors report gives you everything you need to know about your competitors and puts all the information side by side so you can easily compare it.

Getting started is easy - Just select the apps you want to compare. You can choose a single app or up to eight to compare at once. ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/1/6/f/5/16f5957f6b3a4700/appfigures-kb-screenshot-20_rtx1sg.png =966xauto)


When you're done selecting, the Competitors report will populate the following sections for all apps:
