App market intelligence with ASO, Apple Ads and download estimates
Which one is for you
Pick ASOTools if
- Fits if you're an indie developer who wants keyword research on both stores without paying
- Works for checking a rival's keywords and download trend before a launch
Look elsewhere if
- Watch out: the site says all features are free, but its terms still describe paid subscriptions
- Tight if you work in markets beyond 46 countries, as that's where keyword data stops
- Watch out: data is refreshed daily only for popular charting apps and apps you add to your account
- Skip it if you research the App Store in your browser, as the extension works on Google Play only
- Not for you if you need integrations or an API, as none is 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.
