| Pricing model | One flat plan, unlimited keywords and apps | Annual contract, negotiated per customer |
| Stores | Apple only, 60+ countries | App Store and Google Play, plus market data |

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. Sensor Tower 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. Sensor Tower: api.
- 03
Where it runs. Astro: mac app. Sensor Tower: web.
- 04
Price. Astro publishes $108 a year, billed annually; Sensor Tower publishes nothing and quotes on request.
- 05
Who each is built for. Astro sits in the indie tier and Sensor Tower 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 Sensor Tower does well.
- The deepest market estimate set in the industry, going back years across both stores.
- Ad intelligence, audience data and cross-market analysis no indie tool attempts.
- The data investors and large publishers actually cite when sizing a market.
- Account management, onboarding and custom reporting as part of the contract.
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.
