AppKittie report card
Weak · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 23, 2026
Best for researching rivals' ads, videos and onboarding
AppKittie is a research database of 4.5 million+ apps with estimates of revenue, downloads and ad spend, plus their ads, viral videos, onboarding screens and keyword rankings. There's one plan, $49 a month on yearly billing or $79 monthly, with no free plan or trial. If you only want keyword research, there's no cheaper tier for that.
Who AppKittie is for
- Fits if you're an app founder looking for proven app ideas to build on
- Works for growth teams studying rivals' ads, viral videos and onboarding flows
Who AppKittie is not for
- Not for you if you want to try it first, as there's no free plan or trial
- Pricey if you only want keyword research, as the single plan is $49 a month even on yearly billing
- Watch out: the 14-day money-back guarantee covers first subscriptions, not renewals
- Watch out: revenue, download and ad spend figures are estimates from AppKittie's own models
- Tight if you pull a lot over the API, as it's capped at 5,000 credits a month
Why AppKittie gets a 1.6
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- DValue for moneyOne plan at $49 a month billed yearly or $79 monthly, right where this category's dearest tenth starts. Everything is included, but there's no smaller plan for keyword research alone.
- FFree plan and trialNothing free: no free plan and no trial. A 14-day money-back guarantee covers first subscriptions only, and that isn't a trial.
- CFeaturesApp search by revenue and downloads, an ad library and spend, viral videos, onboarding and paywall screens, a keyword finder and rank tracker, and API access. ASO is one part of a research tool, with no listing editor on record.
- CEase of useNo rating on record. It's a big filterable database of apps, ads and videos, so there's a lot to sort through before it answers your question.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with no desktop or phone app. ChatGPT and Claude can query its data, and there are 5,000 API credits a month, CSV export and shared dashboards.

Keep AppKittie, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace AppKittie you would be making keyword rankings and popularity scores from both app stores, gathered every day. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 39 of the 42 other app store optimization tools grade higher. It costs $588 a year.
What you could not
- Keyword rankings and popularity scores from both app stores, gathered every day.
- Search volumes for millions of keywords, gathered and kept up to date.
- Daily checks of where your pages rank in search results.
- It plugs into other products, ChatGPT and Claude among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. AppKittie’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
