Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.8
GPA, above 40 of the 42 other app store optimization tools we grade
ASOTools is a web-based ASO and app analytics tool for the App Store and Google Play. It looks up keyword popularity, search volume and difficulty, shows the keywords competitors rank for, and estimates app downloads and revenue, with top charts by country and category. The site says that since Appark.ai acquired it, all of its features are free to use.
To get you started, here are 8 things to know about ASOTools, taken from its own pages and our grades.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | A | Free, 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. |
| Free plan and trial | A | Free outright with an account, with no plans or caps on record. The one doubt is that its terms still describe paid subscriptions. |
| Features | C | Keyword 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. |
| Ease of use | C | No 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. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web, plus a Chrome extension that now carries the Appark name and works on Google Play only. No integrations or API on record. |
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 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 it 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
