ASOStacks scores App Store and Google Play keywords for popularity, difficulty and opportunity, tracks every keyword you search daily and estimates downloads by rank, with no developer account needed. Pro is $19 a month. It covers 30 countries, though, the free plan stops at 10 tracked keywords, and API access is still listed as coming soon. - **Value for money: C.** Pro is $19 a month for 250 tracked keywords and 25 apps, this category's middle. Only monthly prices are shown, and Studio is $49 for 1,000 keywords and 100 apps. - **Free plan and trial: C.** A free plan with no card: 10 tracked keywords and 2 apps with daily checks, plus daily caps of 20 keyword researches and 5 AI runs. Ten keywords goes quickly. - **Features: C.** Keyword scoring from 7 difficulty signals, daily rank tracking, a 30-country opportunity scan, download estimates by rank and a top-25 competitor breakdown. Its own listing names the gap: 30 countries, fewer than tools that cover every storefront. - **Ease of use: C.** No rating on record. It reads public store data, so there's no developer account to connect, but you still build the keyword list you want watched. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web only, with no desktop or phone app. Claude can query it as an MCP connector, but that's the one link on record, and the API on Studio is listed as coming soon.

The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/app-store-optimization ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** To replace ASOStacks 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: 25 of the 42 other app store optimization tools grade higher. It costs $228 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: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
