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
Trying it. AppDrift: free plan. GrowASO: trial. A permanent free plan and a trial that expires are not the same offer.
- 02
Scripting and AI access. AppDrift: mcp. GrowASO: none.
- 03
Price. AppDrift starts free; GrowASO starts at $149 a year on Premium, Professional $199.
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 GrowASO does well.
- Annual billing on both tiers, so there is no monthly meter running and no surprise at renewal.
- Google Play alongside the App Store, on the same plan.
- A trial that does not ask for a card.
- Browser delivery, which works on any operating system.
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.
