Which one is for you
Pick AppVector if
- Fits if you track a few keywords per app on both stores and want Google Play download figures
- Works for teams that may also hire the same company to run ASO for them
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you track many keywords, as Pro allows 30 per app and Enterprise 100
- Pricey if you have more than 3 apps, as that means Enterprise at $99 a month
- Watch out: plans come with monthly credits, but the pricing page doesn't say what a credit buys
- Watch out: the pricing page doesn't say whether its monthly prices are billed monthly or yearly
- Skip it if you need download figures for iPhone apps, as they cover Google Play only
Pick Asodesk if
- Fits if you have one app and want to track up to 200 keywords without paying
- Works for small teams that want keyword tracking with 100 review replies a month included
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you have a second app or a teammate, as the free plan stops at 1 app, 200 keywords and 1 teammate
- Pricey if you want organic installs or estimated installs, which come only with Power at $343 a month
- Watch out: more review replies cost from $24 a month for 300, and review plans are sold separately
- Skip it if you need Huawei or Samsung coverage, auto-replies or help desk links without a custom plan
- Watch out: the welcome discount doesn't say how long it lasts, so check the price it renews at

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.
