Estimated popularity (0–100) is a relative estimate of search demand, inferred from the apps Apple returns for the keyword: how many there are, how strong the leaders are and how closely their titles match. Apple doesn't publish search volumes, so use it to compare keywords, not as a number of searches.
Difficulty (0–100) measures how entrenched the ranking apps are: rating volume and velocity, titles that contain the keyword, publisher diversity and market age. The Top 5, Top 10 and Top 20 tiers show the effort each band of results takes; an app with under 1,000 ratings in a tier is an opening.
Opportunity combines the two: enough demand to matter, little enough resistance to break through. The verdict is the one AppCompete's Keyword Inspector shows.
