## Key features

- **Daily keyword tracking:** Tracks rankings for any keyword on the App Store and Google Play every day, across countries and languages, with rank history.
- **Difficulty and traffic scores:** Each keyword gets a difficulty and a traffic score, and the Keywords Inspector gives a deeper look at one term (25 a month on Free).
- **Competitor intelligence:** Shows which competitors rank above you and on which keywords, with head-to-head views and alerts when a rival changes its listing.
- **AI listing suggestions:** On the paid plan, AI suggests titles, subtitles, keyword fields and descriptions, and an AI listing writer drafts three scored listings.
- **Metadata and autocomplete simulators:** Score a listing before publishing it and read real store autocomplete suggestions; Free has 10 and 50 a month.
- **MCP server and REST API:** An MCP server with 30 tools lets ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor or Codex read your ranks and scores; the REST API allows 10,000 requests a month.

## Good for

- Indie developers who want unlimited keyword tracking at one low price
- Apps listed on both the App Store and Google Play
- Developers who want to query ASO data from an AI assistant

## Worth knowing

- "Unlimited" is subject to a fair-use policy in the terms; the API is capped at 10,000 requests a month.
- There is no team or enterprise plan; the site describes it as built for indie developers and small studios.
- The price is 9.99 in the buyer's local currency, such as €9.99 in the eurozone and £9.99 in the UK.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.4 out of 4**, graded Oct 23, 2026. Applyra tracks keyword ranks daily on both stores, scores difficulty and traffic and suggests listing text with AI, with one paid plan at $8.33 a month on yearly billing for unlimited apps and keywords. That 'unlimited' sits under a fair-use policy, though, there are no review replies or team plan on record, and free users keep only 7 days of history.

- **Value for money: B.** Unlimited is $8.33 a month billed annually ($9.99 monthly) for unlimited apps, keywords, competitors and history, with exports, MCP and 10,000 API requests a month. That's inside this category's cheaper quarter, which runs to $10.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** A permanent free plan with no card: 1 app, 5 keywords, 1 competitor, 7 days of ranking history and 25 keyword inspections a month. Five keywords and a week of history is a cap you'll hit fast.
- **Features: C.** Daily tracking on both stores, difficulty and traffic scores, competitor alerts, AI listing suggestions and metadata simulators. It does keyword work fully, but that's a smaller job: no review replies or download estimates are on record, and there's no team plan.
- **Ease of use: C.** No rating on record. You add your apps, keywords and competitors before the dashboard shows anything useful.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web only, with no desktop or phone app. It connects to App Store Connect, has a REST API capped at 10,000 requests a month, and an MCP server for ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor and Codex.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Applyra 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. It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.4 is higher than 30 of the 42 other app store optimization tools we grade. It costs $99.96 a year.

- You could not: Keyword rankings and popularity scores from both app stores, gathered every day.
- You could not: Search volumes for millions of keywords, gathered and kept up to date.
- You could not: Daily checks of where your pages rank in search results.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, App Store Connect, ChatGPT and Claude among them, and has an API.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
