## What AppVector does better

- A low entry price and a trial that does not ask for a card, so trying it costs nothing and risks nothing.
- Google Play alongside the App Store.
- Browser delivery, so the operating system does not matter.
- Tiers that let a very small operation pay very little, if its keyword count stays small.

## When to buy AppVector instead

If you ship on Android, or you want the cheapest possible monthly entry and your keyword list is genuinely short, AppVector is the better buy. ASO Studio is the better buy if the list is not short. Per-keyword and per-app tiers charge you more for researching more, which is the opposite of what research should cost, and a flat $59 a year does not move when your list grows.

## 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.
- **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.
