AsoBeast review (2026): is the free plan enough?
Open-source ASO rank tracker for both app stores, hosted or self-run
Our verdict
Second of our top three app store optimization tools
For: Developers tracking several apps for a few dollars
AsoBeast checks keyword positions daily to position 200 on the App Store and Google Play in every country you add, flags the day a rival changes its title or icon, and ranks fixes in a task list, with an API and MCP server. Hosted Indie is $10 a month for 5 apps and 1,000 keyword markets, or the AGPL code is free to run yourself with Docker. It is second because there is no free hosted plan after the 7-day trial, a keyword market is one keyword in one country, the next plan jumps to $99, and there is no uptime guarantee.

Best for rank tracking on both stores, hosted or self-run
AsoBeast tracks keyword positions daily on the App Store and Google Play to position 200, watches competitors' listings and turns the history into a ranked task list, with an API and MCP server on both plans. Hosted Indie is $10 a month. There's no free hosted plan after the 7-day trial, though, and the free route means running it yourself with Docker.
Who AsoBeast is for
- Fits if you track up to 5 apps on both stores and want to pay $10 a month
- Makes sense if you'd rather run your ASO tool on your own server with Docker
Who AsoBeast is not for
- Not for you if you want a free hosted plan, as the hosted service is paid after the 7-day trial
- Pricey if you outgrow Indie, since the next plan, Ultimate, jumps to $99 a month
- Watch out: a keyword market is one keyword in one country, so 1,000 markets is 200 phrases in five countries
- Watch out: there's no uptime guarantee or service level agreement
- Watch out: payment goes through Link and shows on card statements as LINK.COM* ASOBEAST
Why AsoBeast gets a 2.6
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- BValue for moneyIndie is $10 a month ($100 a year) for 5 apps and 1,000 keyword markets, at this category's cheaper quarter, with no per-seat charge. Self-hosting is free but needs your own server, and the next plan, Ultimate, is $99.
- CFree plan and trialNo free hosted plan. The 7-day trial needs no card and runs with Indie limits and 25 AI calls. The AGPL code is free to self-host with every feature, if you run it with Docker.
- BFeaturesDaily ranks on both stores to depth 200 in every storefront, competitor and listing-change alerts, a listing audit, keyword research, an Action Center of ranked tasks and AI metadata drafts. It covers the whole job.
- CEase of useNo rating on record. Hosted, you add apps, keywords and countries before it says much; self-hosting needs Docker, about 2.5 GB of memory and 5 GB of disk.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with no desktop or phone app. A REST API and an MCP server come with both plans, and alerts go to Slack, Discord, email or a webhook.

Keep AsoBeast, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace AsoBeast 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 2.6 is higher than 37 of the 42 other app store optimization tools we grade. It costs $120 a year. AsoBeast is open source, so there is a third way: take its code and run it yourself.
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, Slack, Discord and Claude Code among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. AsoBeast’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.
What is AsoBeast?
AsoBeast checks an app's keyword positions on the App Store and Google Play every day, to a depth of 200, and watches competitors' listings for changes. An Action Center turns that history into a task list ranked by estimated impact, and an MCP server lets AI assistants query the data. The code is AGPL-3.0 and free to self-host; the hosted service is a paid subscription.
Worth knowing
- The hosted service has no free plan after the 7-day trial; the free route is self-hosting with Docker, about 2.5 GB of memory and 5 GB of disk.
- A keyword market is one keyword in one country, so 1,000 markets is 200 phrases tracked in five countries.
- Plans are sold through Link, a Stripe affiliate, which appears on card statements as LINK.COM* ASOBEAST.
- Uptime is best effort with no service level agreement.
Key features
- Daily rank tracking on both stores
- Each keyword is checked daily to position 200 in every country added, across 175 App Store and 225 Google Play storefronts, with a year of history.
- Competitor and listing-change alerts
- Finds competitors from search results, flags the day a rival changes its title, icon or version, and shows keyword gaps. Alerts go by email, Slack, Discord or webhook.
- Action Center
- 15 rules watch the ranking history and queue tasks by estimated impact, such as a winnable keyword the listing never mentions.
- Listing audit and keyword research
- Scores a listing out of 100 with fixes ranked by points gained, and suggests keywords from search, competitors, similar apps, seasonality and reviews.
- MCP server and REST API
- An MCP server with 27 read tools and 5 opt-in write tools works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and others, and the REST API is documented with OpenAPI.
- AI assist and exports
- AI drafts metadata and analyzes icons and screenshot captions within a monthly call allowance; any table exports to CSV, or the workspace to JSON.
