The short version
What the choice actually turns on.
Only the rows where these two genuinely differ. Everything they answer the same way is left out, because it cannot decide anything.
- 01
Stores. App Radar covers the App Store and Google Play; Astro is App Store only. If you ship on Android this decides it before price does.
- 02
Trying it. App Radar: trial. Astro: none. A permanent free plan and a trial that expires are not the same offer.
- 03
Scripting and AI access. App Radar: none. Astro: mcp.
- 04
Where it runs. App Radar: web. Astro: mac app.
- 05
Price. Astro starts at $108 a year, billed annually; App Radar at €690 a year on Essentials, up to €299 a month.
- 06
Who each is built for. App Radar sits in the mid-market tier and Astro in the indie tier, which usually matters more than any single feature.
In its favour
What App Radar does well.
- Review management with AI-assisted replies, which ASO Studio does not do at all.
- Google Play alongside the App Store.
- Team seats and shared workspaces on the higher plans.
- Apple Search Ads and Google Ads management, backed by SplitMetrics which owns them.
In its favour
What Astro does well.
- Broader Apple coverage: tvOS, watchOS and Mac apps as well as iPhone and iPad.
- More storefronts, at 60-plus countries, with daily ranking updates and historical charts.
- Built-in DeepL translation, which matters a lot if you localize into many languages.
- A mature, well-liked product with a longer track record than ASO Studio has.
Ours, for the record
There is a third option.
If neither shape of bill fits, ASO Studio is $59/yr a year flat for unlimited apps and keywords, App Store only, with a free App Rating check that needs no account.
