Appstro
What it is
Appstro is a free App Store analytics and optimization toolkit for indie developers and marketing teams. It lists 76 tools for keyword research, listing checks, creative comparison, localization, launch planning, market intelligence, and compliance. Users can research keywords, track competitors, read reviews, compare rankings, and monitor listings across more than 175 storefronts. Worldwide tools check ratings and listings across 58 storefronts at once. Appstro records top charts and history daily, while listing, rating, and price information is read from the App Store when requested. First-page search positions follow the store’s displayed order; deeper positions are approximate because Apple does not publish them. Download and revenue figures are Sensor Tower estimates for worldwide activity over the last 30 days. Most tools work without an account, but keyword history, watchlists, and Feedback Exchange require one. The MCP server exposes eight tools without API keys or sign-up. AI features require the user’s Google Gemini API key. There is no paid tier or usage cap.
