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. ASO.dev covers the App Store and Google Play; Astro is App Store only. If you ship on Android this decides it before price does.
- 02
Scripting and AI access. ASO.dev: api. Astro: mcp.
- 03
Where it runs. ASO.dev: web and mac. Astro: mac app.
- 04
Price. Astro starts at $108 a year, billed annually; ASO.dev at $15 a month on Console, up to $149.
In its favour
What ASO.dev does well.
- The whole release chore in one place: metadata, screenshots in bulk, pricing and subscriptions, on both stores.
- Bulk AI review replies with translation, which is a real and thankless time sink handled properly.
- Custom Product Pages for testing store pages against each other, on the Pro tier.
- A public API alongside App Store Connect and Google Play automation, so it fits into a release pipeline rather than sitting beside one.
- Apple Ads intelligence with competitor creatives and share of voice by keyword, on the Marketing tier.
- A $15-a-month entry point if metadata management is all you want from it.
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.
