ASO Studio
AppDrift vs Gummicube
Both figures below were read from each vendor’s own pricing page, September 5, 2026 for AppDrift and August 21, 2026 for Gummicube. We sell an App Store tool of our own and it is not in this table.
| Feature | AppDrift | Gummicube |
|---|---|---|
| Entry price | Free paid plans from $9.99 a month | Not published agency engagement, quoted per client |
| Pricing model | Free tier plus paid plans | Managed service with a data platform |
| Stores | App Store and Google Play | App Store and Google Play |
| Free option | Free tier plus a dozen free ASO tools | No |
| API and agent access | MCP server and REST API, on every paid plan | Not advertised |
| Delivery | Web app | Agency plus 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
Trying it. AppDrift: free plan. Gummicube: none. A permanent free plan and a trial that expires are not the same offer.
- 02
Scripting and AI access. AppDrift: mcp. Gummicube: none.
- 03
Where it runs. AppDrift: web. Gummicube: agency.
- 04
Price. AppDrift publishes a free tier; Gummicube publishes nothing and quotes on request.
- 05
Who each is built for. AppDrift sits in the indie tier and Gummicube in the enterprise 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 Gummicube does well.
- They do the work. For a team with budget and no time, that is the entire value and no tool substitutes for it.
- Years of category experience across many clients, which is judgement you cannot buy in software.
- Google Play alongside the App Store, handled by the same team.
- Creative and listing production as part of the engagement, not just the research behind it.
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.
