Which one is for you
Pick AppMagic if
- Fits if you're a game studio sizing a genre or a rival on mobile and Steam
- Works for marketing teams studying rivals' ad creatives and Apple Ads activity
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you want a price before a call, as there's none on the site
- Skip it if you want to try it first, since there's no free plan or trial, only a demo
- Watch out: it's owned by Sensor Tower, Inc., so it isn't a separate company to weigh against Sensor Tower
- Watch out: revenue and download figures are estimates, not numbers reported by the stores
- Too light for day-to-day listing work, with no rank tracking, listing editor or integrations on record
Pick FoxData if
- Fits if you're an indie developer tracking a few apps for under $10 a month
- Works for teams running ASO and Apple Search Ads side by side
Look elsewhere if
- Watch out: ASO reports, exports and the API start at Standard, $59, and download estimates at Growth, $159
- Pricey if you want Apple Search Ads bidding data at $399, or active user and retention data, an Enterprise add-on
- Watch out: the trial needs a card, starts the plan on its own and leaves out exports, AI reviews and the API
- Tight if you change your mind, as refunds only cover cancelling within 48 hours of a first subscription
- Tight if you stay free, with 1 seat, 2 apps and limited keyword tracking

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.
