ASO.dev vs Sonar
Both figures below were read from each vendor’s own pricing page, August 21, 2026 for ASO.dev and August 21, 2026 for Sonar. We sell an App Store tool of our own and it is not in this table.

| Entry price | $15 a month on Console, up to $149 | $189 a year on Indie, Agency $99 a month |
| Pricing model | Four tiers by apps and features | Tiered by number of apps |
| Stores | App Store and Google Play | App Store and Google Play |
| Free option | Not listed | Not listed |

| Delivery | Web and native | 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
Scripting and AI access. ASO.dev: api. Sonar: mcp.
- 02
Where it runs. ASO.dev: web and mac. Sonar: web.
- 03
Price. ASO.dev starts at $15 a month on Console, up to $149; Sonar at $189 a year on Indie, Agency $99 a month.
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 Sonar does well.
- Both stores in one dashboard, with no second subscription for Android.
- A proper developer surface: REST API, a native CLI and an MCP server on every plan.
- Being on the web, so it works from any machine rather than only a Mac.
- A cheaper annual entry price at $189 for the Indie plan if you need the Android half.
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.
