Pick Applyra if

Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you're staying free, as Free stops at 1 app, 5 keywords, 1 competitor and 7 days of history
- Watch out: 'unlimited' is subject to a fair-use policy, and the API stops at 10,000 requests a month
- Not for you if you're a team or an agency, as there's no team or enterprise plan
- Skip it if you need review replies or download estimates, as neither is on record here
- Watch out: the price is 9.99 in your own currency, so €9.99 or £9.99 rather than a converted figure
Pick ASOStacks if
- Fits if you're choosing which countries to launch or translate an app in
- Works for studios tracking up to 100 apps on a flat monthly price
Look elsewhere if

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.
