Appfigures questions

What people ask.

Does ASO Studio show my own downloads and revenue?

Yes. Connect your App Store Connect key and the Charts tab shows your own apps' impressions, page views, downloads, sales, proceeds, active plans, free trials, conversions, churn and MRR, with a full year of sales and downloads there the moment you connect. Your AI agent can read all of it, and your real installs also check the market estimates across the rest of the product. It covers the App Store, with Google Play coming soon.

Is Appfigures cheaper than ASO Studio?

Its free Starter plan and the $9.99 Connect plan are analytics only. Keyword rank tracking starts on Monitor at $44.99 a month for 100 keywords, and the Optimize plan with the research tools is $149.99 a month, or $119.99 billed annually. ASO Studio is $59 a year with no keyword cap.

Can I use both?

Plenty of developers do. Appfigures for what your app earned, ASO Studio for what to rank for next. They read different data and neither replaces the other.
