GrowASO has an AI copilot that drafts your title, subtitle, description and keyword field, plus rank tracking, audits and revenue estimates for both stores. Premium is $12 a month on yearly billing ($149 a year), or $19 monthly. The copilot writes only 2 listings a month on Premium, and there are no integrations at all. - **Value for money: B.** Premium is $12 a month billed yearly, $149 a year, inside this category's cheaper quarter, with unlimited tracking and research on unlimited apps. Monthly it's $19, the category's middle. - **Free plan and trial: C.** No free plan. The trial needs no card but covers just 1 listing audit, 1 app profile and 10 keywords each for tracking and research, and the keyword database needs a paid plan. - **Features: C.** Listing drafts, rank tracking on both stores, a 60,000-keyword database, app revenue estimates, audits and AI icons. The basics are there, but the copilot writes 2 listings a month on Premium and 5 on Professional. - **Ease of use: C.** No rating on record. It's a web app where you add apps and keywords before tracking tells you anything. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web only, with no desktop or phone app, and no integrations or API on the listing.
