ASO Studio
AppDrift vs AppKittie
Both figures below were read from each vendor’s own pricing page, September 5, 2026 for AppDrift and September 5, 2026 for AppKittie. We sell an App Store tool of our own and it is not in this table.
| Feature | AppDrift | AppKittie |
|---|---|---|
| Entry price | Free paid plans from $9.99 a month | $588 a year billed yearly, or $79 a month |
| Pricing model | Free tier plus paid plans | One plan, 3 seats and 5,000 API credits included |
| Stores | App Store and Google Play | App Store and Google Play |
| Free option | Free tier plus a dozen free ASO tools | Free plan (10 app searches a day, no keyword tools) |
| API and agent access | MCP server and REST API, on every paid plan | MCP server and REST API, metered by credit |
| Delivery | Web app | Web app |
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
Price. AppDrift starts free; AppKittie starts at $588 a year billed yearly, or $79 a month.
- 02
Who each is built for. AppDrift sits in the indie tier and AppKittie in the mid-market tier, which usually matters more than any single feature.
In its favour
What AppDrift does well.
- A dozen free ASO tools that need no account at all, which is more open than most of this market.
- MCP and a REST API on every paid plan rather than reserved for a top tier, so scripting is not an upsell.
- Google Play alongside the App Store.
- Browser delivery, so it runs on Windows and Linux where ASO Studio cannot.
In its favour
What AppKittie does well.
- Ad creative intelligence no indie ASO tool carries: the live Meta and Apple Search Ads creatives an app is running, how long each has been live, and estimated spend broken down by country.
- An organic video library across TikTok, Instagram and YouTube Shorts, with the creators posting them, which is a whole growth channel that keyword tools do not look at.
- An onboarding and paywall library, so you can read the exact flow a paying app ships rather than guessing at it.
- A database of over 4,500,000 apps across both stores that you can filter by revenue, downloads, growth and launch date, which is the right tool for choosing what to build before there is anything to optimize.
- A documented REST API next to the MCP server, with credit costs published per endpoint, so a script on a server can read the same data an agent does.
- Being on the web, so it works from any machine and any operating system rather than only a Mac.
Ours, for the record
There is a third option.
Both cover Google Play, which ASO Studio does not. If your app is iOS only, $59/yr a year covers unlimited apps and keywords on a native Mac app, and you can score your listing free first.
