MobileAction questions
What people ask.
How much does MobileAction cost?
MobileAction's ASO Lite plan is $15 a month, or $12.50 a month billed annually. Its ASO Intelligence Basic plan is $69 a month and Pro is $239 a month, or $59 and $199 billed yearly, with Enterprise quoted on request. Apple Search Ads products are priced separately.
Does ASO Studio manage Apple Search Ads campaigns?
Yes. You can connect an Apple Search Ads account to manage campaigns from the app and to calibrate the keyword estimates with your own exact observations. It is optional and everything else works without it. MobileAction goes considerably deeper on the ads side.
Which is better value for a solo developer?
ASO Studio at $59 a year, if you are Apple only and want organic keyword research. MobileAction's ASO Lite is $150 a year billed yearly, or $15 a month, and covers both stores, so it is the better pick if Android matters to you.
