ASO.dev is a release-management tool with keyword research attached, covering both stores. It edits metadata, uploads screenshots in bulk, answers reviews with AI translation and tests Custom Product Pages, across four per-seat tiers from $15 to $149 a month billed yearly, or $19 to $199 monthly. ASO Studio is $59 a year and combines research with release planning and approved title, subtitle, and keyword-field updates.

## What ASO.dev does better

- The whole release chore in one place: metadata, screenshots in bulk, pricing and subscriptions, on both stores.
- Bulk AI review replies with translation, which is a real and thankless time sink handled properly.
- Custom Product Pages for testing store pages against each other, on the Pro tier.
- A local MCP server on every plan that reads and edits metadata, with a public API in alpha for teams on Pro and up.
- Apple Ads intelligence with competitor creatives and share of voice by keyword, on the Marketing tier.
- A $15-a-month entry point if metadata management is all you want from it.

## When to buy ASO.dev instead

Buy ASO.dev if you need bulk screenshot uploads, review replies, Custom Product Page testing, or release workflows across both stores. ASO Studio also drafts and writes supported App Store metadata after approval, with a review of the rankings a rewrite may put at risk. Choose it for Apple-only market research, review mining, and listing planning on your Mac.

## Frequently asked questions

### How much does ASO.dev cost?
Four tiers, priced per seat. Billed yearly: Console at $15 a month ($180 a year), Indie at $29 ($348), Pro at $69 ($828) and Marketing at $149 ($1,788). Billed monthly they are $19, $39, $89 and $199. Every plan has a 3-day trial. Unlimited apps and keyword sets start on Indie, Custom Product Pages on Pro, and the Apple Ads intelligence on Marketing.

### What does ASO.dev do that ASO Studio does not?
Publishing at scale, essentially. It has a mass screenshot uploader, bulk AI review replies with translation, Custom Product Page testing, and Google Play alongside the App Store. ASO Studio does none of those. It does write metadata: connect an App Store Connect API key and it pushes an approved title, subtitle and keyword field after showing you the diff, and it names the rankings that rewrite puts at risk before you approve it. Without a key it hands you the exact fields to copy across and touches nothing.

### Which keeps keyword history longer?
ASO Studio. Its history runs from the day you start tracking a term and is kept, because it lives on your Mac. ASO.dev caps keyword history at 30 days on Indie and 60 on Pro, so the longer view of whether a change worked is the thing you are giving up.

### Does ASO.dev cover Google Play?
For managing a listing, yes: metadata, screenshots, reviews and pricing on Google Play sit beside the App Store. Its Google Play keyword analytics is not available yet, by its own pricing page. ASO Studio covers the App Store today, with Google Play coming soon.
