App Radar questions
What people ask.
How much does App Radar cost?
Essentials is €69 a month, or €58 a month billed annually, which is €690 a year and covers 2 apps and 500 keywords. Growth is €169 a month and Scale is €299 a month. Enterprise is quoted on request.
Does ASO Studio reply to App Store reviews?
No. It reads review feeds to mine the features users keep asking competitors to build, which is what reviews are genuinely useful for, but it does not post replies. App Radar and AppFollow are the tools for review management.
Why is ASO Studio so much cheaper?
It does less, on purpose, and it does not carry a web platform, a sales team or a support organisation. One developer builds it, it runs on your own Mac using public App Store data, and it is priced against a personal card rather than a marketing budget.
