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 SplitMetrics if

  • Fits if you want to test store creatives or a game concept before changing the live listing
  • Works for teams spending up to $25,000 a month on Apple Ads who'd use the free Starter plan

Look elsewhere if

  • Not for you if you want a price for A/B testing up front, as Optimize is only priced on a sales call
  • Skip it if keyword tracking is what you need, as that's in App Radar, sold separately
  • Pricey if you want competitors' Apple Ads data, as App Intelligence is $500 a month
  • Tight if you're on Starter, which stops at $25,000 of monthly ad spend, 8 automations and 1 user
  • Watch out: Acquire works with Apple Ads only; other ad channels are covered by managed services

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.
