## What App Radar does better

- Review management with AI-assisted replies, which ASO Studio does not do at all.
- Google Play alongside the App Store.
- Team seats and shared workspaces on the higher plans.
- Apple Search Ads campaign management, backed by SplitMetrics, which owns App Radar.

## When to buy App Radar instead

If you need to reply to reviews at volume, ship on both stores, or put more than one person in the account, App Radar does those and ASO Studio does not. Choose ASO Studio if you are doing the research yourself on a Mac, you want the app and keyword caps gone, and €690 a year for 2 apps and 500 keywords is not the trade you want to make.

## Why people move to ASO Studio

- **One flat price, nothing metered**: $59 a year covers unlimited apps and keywords, with no per-keyword tier and no seats.
- **It runs on your Mac**: A native macOS app, so your research lives on your machine and any keys stay in the Keychain.
- **On your iPhone and iPad too**: ASO Studio Connect Pro comes with it: App Review status, pushes, your numbers and your ranks, native on iPhone and iPad.
- **Nothing to set up**: Works out of the box on public App Store data. No API keys, no developer account required.
- **Built for AI agents**: One address connects Claude, Claude Code or anything that speaks MCP to your keywords, rankings and market.
- **Our own models, grounded in App Store data**: Demand, competition and market size are modeled from search results, autocomplete, ratings, reviews and pricing.
- **Support from the person who builds it**: One developer writes the app and answers the email. No ticket tiers, no queue.

## Frequently asked questions

### 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.
