Qimai review (2026): is it worth it?
Chinese app market data platform for ASO and Apple Ads
Qimai report card
Good · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 23, 2026
Best for data on China's App Store and Android stores
Qimai is a Chinese-language app data platform: App Store charts in 175 countries and regions, rankings from eight Chinese Android stores, keyword tools and download and revenue estimates, with a free edition for 10 apps. But the site is in Chinese only, and the VIP, SVIP and Enterprise prices show only once you've signed in, so you can't see what paying costs before making an account.
Who Qimai is for
- Fits if you're launching or promoting an app in mainland China and read Chinese
- Works for teams that need rankings from Huawei, Xiaomi, OPPO and other Chinese Android stores
Who Qimai is not for
- Skip it if you don't read Chinese, as the whole site is in Chinese only
- Watch out: VIP, SVIP and Enterprise prices show only after you sign in, so you can't compare costs first
- Tight if several people share one login, since each account works on 2 to 5 devices at once and blocks the rest
- Tight if you track more than 10 apps or 100 keywords per app on the free edition
Why Qimai gets a 2.6
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyNo price is published to the public. The VIP, SVIP and Enterprise memberships show their prices only to signed-in users, so there's nothing to set against this category's $19 middle.
- BFree plan and trialA free edition with 10 apps, 100 keywords per app (1,000 in all) and 10 competitors. One person watching a few apps could stay on it, though the list of what's free only shows after you sign in.
- BFeaturesLive App Store charts and change alerts, keyword expansion and a keyword index, download and revenue estimates, competitor comparison, Apple Ads tools, and rankings from Huawei, Xiaomi, OPPO, VIVO and four more Chinese Android stores. It covers the whole job.
- CEase of useNo rating on record. The site is in Chinese only, sign-in is by password or a WeChat QR code, and each account works on 2 to 5 devices at once depending on the membership.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb, iPhone and Android, with Apple Ads tied in through the same company's AppSA campaign tool. No desktop app is on record, and Apple Ads is the only integration listed.
What these grades rest on. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from Qimai's own pages on 23 October 2026; its membership page showed us no plans without signing in. Not based on using the product, and shorter than our full reviews. How we review and grade.

Keep Qimai, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Qimai 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.
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.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Qimai’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.
