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. Gummicube 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. Astro: mcp. Gummicube: none.
- 03
Where it runs. Astro: mac app. Gummicube: agency.
- 04
Price. Astro publishes $108 a year, billed annually; Gummicube publishes nothing and quotes on request.
- 05
Who each is built for. Astro sits in the indie tier and Gummicube in the enterprise tier, which usually matters more than any single feature.
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.
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.
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.
