Which one is for you
Pick AppFollow if
- Fits if your support team answers app reviews from more than one store
- Works for developers with up to 2 apps who want keyword tracking without paying
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if review replies with AI are the point, since that's Essential at $129 a month billed yearly
- Skip it if you need Google Play ranks past the top 30 to 50, download estimates or Apple Ads management
- Watch out: auto-replies, auto-tags, data exports, extra Google Play countries and SSO are all add-ons
- Tight if you use a help desk, as native help desk apps need Enterprise and other plans go through email
- Tight if you have a third app to track, since the free plan stops at 2
Pick Asolytics if
- Fits if you're an indie developer looking after one or two apps on both stores
- Works for developers who want App Store and Google Play data over an API at a published price
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you have one app and a few keywords, as the smallest plan is $49 a month on yearly billing
- Tight if you're on Start, with 2 apps, 1 seat, 1 month of review history and forecasts for 1 country
- Watch out: Search Visibility and Apple Search Ads analysis start at Pro, $158; Market Intelligence and In-App Events at Expert, $399
- Watch out: monthly caps on new app and keyword analyses don't roll over, and extra API tokens cost $0.59 per 1,000 on Start
- Not for you if you want a free plan, as the account turns read-only once the 7-day trial ends

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
