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. AppFollow 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. AppFollow: free plan. Astro: none. A permanent free plan and a trial that expires are not the same offer.
- 03
Scripting and AI access. AppFollow: integrations. Astro: mcp.
- 04
Where it runs. AppFollow: web. Astro: mac app.
- 05
Price. AppFollow starts free; Astro starts at $108 a year, billed annually.
- 06
Who each is built for. AppFollow sits in the mid-market tier and Astro in the indie tier, which usually matters more than any single feature.
In its favour
What AppFollow does well.
- Review management is the best in the category, with replies, translation and automation.
- Unlimited users on every plan, so team size never moves the bill.
- A real free plan covering 2 apps and 20 keywords a month.
- Slack and Zendesk integrations that put store reviews into the tools support teams already use.
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.
