Who should stay with Applyra.
Stay with Applyra if you are not on a Mac, if you need more than the 100,000 keywords of our Studio plan, or if a REST API matters more than a native app. Both tools cover the App Store and Google Play daily.
AppRankHero does not offer ad intelligence, review management, store A/B testing, download estimates, SSO, or a web or Windows app. If you need those, keep them. If you need daily keyword ranks on both stores, we would love to show you.
