Qimai (七麦数据) is a Chinese-language app data platform from Beijing Qimai Technology. It covers App Store charts in 175 countries and regions plus eight major Android stores in China, with keyword tools, competitor comparison, and download and revenue estimates. The same company runs AppSA, a self-serve Apple Ads platform, and a managed Apple Ads service. - **Category:** App Store Optimization (ASO) - **Made by:** Beijing Qimai Technology Co., Ltd. (since 2013) - **Website:** https://www.qimai.cn - **Runs on:** Web, iOS, Android - **Who should skip it:** Skip it if you don't read Chinese, as the whole site is in Chinese only. - **Facts last checked:** Oct 23, 2026 ## Pricing Qimai's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site. ## Key features - **Live charts and store monitoring:** Real-time App Store charts, trending searches, featured picks, and alerts when apps are listed, removed, updated or dropped from charts and keywords. - **Keyword tools:** A keyword optimization helper, keyword expansion, search suggestion lookups and a keyword index that can compare terms side by side. - **Download and revenue estimates:** Download and revenue charts and estimates for apps, which Qimai says covers more than 13 million apps and 20 million keywords. - **Competitor comparison:** Follow apps and their keywords and add competitors to compare; how many depends on the membership level. - **Chinese Android stores:** Rankings from eight Android stores in China, including Huawei, Xiaomi, OPPO, VIVO, Tencent's store, Baidu and 360. - **Apple Ads tools:** Apple Ads bid monitoring on Qimai, AppSA for running Apple Ads campaigns yourself, and a managed campaign service. ## Good for - Teams launching or promoting apps in mainland China - Tracking Chinese Android stores that Western ASO tools rarely cover - Apple Ads advertisers who want data and campaign tools from one company ## Worth knowing - The site is in Chinese only, with sign-in by password or a WeChat QR code. - Prices for the VIP, SVIP and Enterprise memberships are shown only to signed-in users, so none are listed here. - Each account can be signed in on 2 to 5 devices at once depending on the membership, and the site blocks logins beyond that. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 2.6 out of 4**, graded Oct 23, 2026. 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. - **Value for money: C.** No 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. - **Free plan and trial: B.** A 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. - **Features: B.** Live 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. - **Ease of use: C.** No 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. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, 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. These are ToolGPA's own grades. 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. ## Where it stands among app store optimization tools - Qimai's GPA of 2.6 is higher than 37 of the 42 other app store optimization tools we grade, and level with 2. - It stands best on free plan and trial (B, above 35 of 42) and worst on ease of use (C, above 0). 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 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. - 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: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page. - You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
