Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.4
GPA, above 30 of the 42 other app store optimization tools we grade
Applyra is a web-based ASO tool for indie developers and small studios. It tracks daily keyword ranks on the App Store and Google Play, scores keyword difficulty and traffic, follows competitors and suggests listing text with AI. There is one paid plan with no keyword tiers, plus a permanent free plan.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Applyra, taken from its own pages and our grades.
You add your apps, keywords and competitors before the dashboard shows anything useful.
- 1
Best for unlimited keyword tracking at a flat price
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.
- 2
Paid plans start at $8.33 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $8.33 per month, billed annually ($9.99 billed monthly).
- 3
There is a free plan
1 app, 5 keywords, 1 competitor, 7 days of ranking history and 25 keyword inspections a month on both stores. No AI suggestions, exports, API or MCP.

It runs on Web
Web.
- 5
Daily keyword tracking
Tracks rankings for any keyword on the App Store and Google Play every day, across countries and languages, with rank history.
- 6
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).
- 7
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.
- 8
A 2.4 GPA, above 30 of 42
That is against the other app store optimization tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
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.

The report card
Best for unlimited keyword tracking at a flat price
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Applyra is for
- Fits if you're an indie developer tracking lots of keywords on both stores for one price
- Works for developers who want to ask an AI assistant about their ranks through MCP
Who it is not for
- Tight if you're staying free, as Free stops at 1 app, 5 keywords, 1 competitor and 7 days of history
- Watch out: 'unlimited' is subject to a fair-use policy, and the API stops at 10,000 requests a month
- Not for you if you're a team or an agency, as there's no team or enterprise plan
- Skip it if you need review replies or download estimates, as neither is on record here
- Watch out: the price is 9.99 in your own currency, so €9.99 or £9.99 rather than a converted figure
Good to know
Good for
- Indie developers who want unlimited keyword tracking at one low price

- The price is 9.99 in the buyer's local currency, such as €9.99 in the eurozone and £9.99 in the UK.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
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, App Store Connect, ChatGPT and Claude among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Applyra’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.
