AppTweak
App store optimization and Apple Ads platform for apps and games
Which one is for you
Pick AppTweak if
- Fits if you run store optimization for up to 5 apps on both stores and $79 a month is in the budget
- Works for teams running Apple Ads under $25,000 a month, as the campaign manager is free up to that
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you want to try it without a card, as the 7-day trial charges you unless you cancel
- Tight if more than one person needs a login, since Essential, Grow and Expand each include one seat
- Pricey if you follow lots of apps: Essential is $79, $99 or $149 a month for 5, 10 or 20 apps on yearly billing
- Watch out: organic installs per keyword start at Grow, $299 a month, and AI Visibility is listed under Enterprise
- Watch out: review replies, the API and download estimates are separate products with their own plans
Pick ASO World if
- Fits if you want to buy installs or reviews for an app and know the risk
- Works for a studio that wants a personal account manager on orders
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want rankings or competitor tracking, as it has no tracking dashboard
- Watch out: buying installs, ratings or reviews may conflict with Apple's and Google's store rules
- Pricey if you order guaranteed reviews, at $1.50 each
- Watch out: the rates change with store and volume tier, so the cost is only clear at order time

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.
