The numbers, decoded.
ASO Studio scores each keyword the way the store sees it. Every metric is defined, labeled when estimated, and read at a glance.
24
Demand
A storefront-demand index measured from how easily an exact term autocompletes. Apple Ads observations calibrate it when connected.

Difficulty
How hard it is to rank, blending the leaders' rating volume, saturation, and how many top apps target the term. Higher is harder.
74
Opportunity
High demand paired with low difficulty. A keyword has to be both wanted and winnable to score well here.
#67
Position
Your live rank for the term, with a momentum chip showing how many spots you moved over the last seven days.

Before you buy
Common questions.
Can I try ASO Studio before buying?
We do not have a free trial just yet, so ASO Studio is $59.99 a year to use. Sign in with Apple and you are straight into the full workspace. If you are not subscribed yet, the app just points you back here to get set up.
How many Macs can I use it on?
As many as you like. Your subscription follows your Apple account, so just sign in with the same Apple ID on any Mac you work from.
Do I need API keys or a developer account?
Nope. ASO Studio works right out of the box with public App Store data. You can optionally connect your Apple Search Ads account for more tailored estimates, but it is never required.
Can I use OpenAI for the AI features?
Yes. Bring your own OpenAI key, drop it into the app's settings, and pick whichever model you prefer. It is optional too: without a key, ASO Studio quietly falls back to on-device Apple Intelligence.
What happens if I cancel?
No worries at all. You keep full access through the end of your billing period, and your research stays right on your Mac. You can cancel anytime from the Stripe billing portal.
Where does my research data live?
Right on your Mac. Your tracked apps, keywords, and notes stay local, and any keys you add go in the macOS Keychain. We only keep the basics needed to check your subscription.
Privacy by design
Your research stays yours.
Tracked apps, keywords, notes, and history stay on your Mac. Credentials entered in the app use the macOS Keychain. The website stores only the account and billing identifiers needed to verify your license.
