ASOTools review (2026): is it any good?
Free ASO keyword research and app analytics for both app stores
ASOTools report card
Good · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 23, 2026
Best for free keyword lookups on both app stores
ASOTools looks up keyword popularity, volume and difficulty on both stores, shows rivals' keywords and estimates downloads and revenue. The site says everything is free since Appark.ai bought it, but its terms still talk about paid subscriptions and the pricing page shows no plans. Data refreshes daily only for charting apps and the ones you add, and keyword data stops at 46 countries.
Who ASOTools is for
- Fits if you're an indie developer who wants keyword research on both stores without paying
- Works for checking a rival's keywords and download trend before a launch
Who ASOTools is not for
- Watch out: the site says all features are free, but its terms still describe paid subscriptions
- Tight if you work in markets beyond 46 countries, as that's where keyword data stops
- Watch out: data is refreshed daily only for popular charting apps and apps you add to your account
- Skip it if you research the App Store in your browser, as the extension works on Google Play only
- Not for you if you need integrations or an API, as none is on record
Why ASOTools gets a 2.8
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- AValue for moneyFree, with every feature open since the Appark.ai acquisition, per the site's notice: keyword research, keyword spy, app analytics and download and revenue estimates. Most paid tools in this category start between $12 and $49 a month.
- AFree plan and trialFree outright with an account, with no plans or caps on record. The one doubt is that its terms still describe paid subscriptions.
- CFeaturesKeyword popularity, volume and difficulty in 46 countries, rivals' keywords, download and revenue estimates and top charts. The basics with gaps: no listing editor on record, and data is daily only for charting apps and ones you add.
- CEase of useNo rating on record. Looking up a keyword is quick, but you need an account, and an app's data is kept fresh only once you add it.
- CPlatforms and integrationsWeb, plus a Chrome extension that now carries the Appark name and works on Google Play only. No integrations or API on record.

Keep ASOTools, or make your own?
Keep it
ASOTools is free, so making your own would save you nothing.
And it is not the kind of software a weekend replaces. It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.8 is higher than 40 of the 42 other app store optimization tools we grade.
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.
What this rests on. ASOTools’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.
