Where ASO.dev wins

Where ASO.dev is the better fit.

ASO.dev pairs App Store research with App Store Connect and Google Play Console work in one app. If you ship updates often and edit your listings yourself, it covers more of that release work than AsoBeast does.

  • App Store ranks every 4 hours

    ASO.dev refreshes App Store keyword positions every 4 hours across 60 countries and shows Apple’s Search Ads Popularity for each keyword. AsoBeast checks each keyword once a day, to position 200, and uses Apple’s weekly popularity for the terms Apple publishes, its most searched in each genre, and a model fitted to Apple’s figures for the rest.

  • No caps on keywords or competitors

    ASO.dev does not cap tracked keywords or competitor apps, and one seat covers unlimited apps. AsoBeast Indie covers 5 apps and 1,000 keyword markets, with 10 competitors per app; the self-hosted version has no app or keyword market limits.

  • The store consoles in one app

    With your own App Store Connect and Google Play keys, ASO.dev edits metadata across 50 locales, uploads screenshots and videos, changes prices and subscriptions, manages TestFlight and Google Play releases and sends AI review replies. AsoBeast drafts metadata with AI but does not publish it to the stores.

  • Apple Ads research

    On Marketing, $199 a month per seat or $149 billed yearly, ASO.dev shows which apps bid on a keyword, their creatives and Custom Product Pages, share of voice and auction positions. AsoBeast does not research Apple Ads.

Where AsoBeast wins

Where AsoBeast goes further than ASO.dev.

AsoBeast is built for developers and small teams who want daily rankings on both stores and a clear next step at the lowest price.

  • Google Play rankings too

    AsoBeast tracks Google Play keyword rankings in 225 locations next to 175 App Store storefronts. ASO.dev edits Google Play listings, but its own pages list Google Play keyword rankings as coming soon, and it tracks the App Store in 60 countries.

  • One price for the whole team

    AsoBeast Indie is $10 a month or $100 a year for the workspace, and every teammate joins at no extra cost. ASO.dev Indie is $39 a month or $348 a year per seat, so a team of 3 pays $117 a month.

  • History, alerts and export on Indie

    AsoBeast keeps a year of daily ranks and sends alerts by signed webhook or email, formatted for Slack and Discord, with CSV and JSON export on every plan. ASO.dev Indie keeps 30 days of history and sends push notifications; webhooks and export start on Pro at $89 a month per seat.

  • Your rankings in an API and MCP

    The AsoBeast REST API allows 40,000 requests a day on Indie, and the hosted MCP server has 27 read tools and 5 opt-in write tools over your rankings, competitors and actions, on every plan and the trial. ASO.dev’s MCP runs locally once you start it in the app and leaves out keyword data by design, and its API is a closed alpha from Pro.

Switching

Questions

AsoBeast vs ASO.dev, answered

What is the difference between AsoBeast and ASO.dev?

ASO.dev is a native app for desktop and mobile that covers App Store keyword research and rank tracking, with ranks every 4 hours, and it manages App Store Connect and Google Play Console through your own keys. AsoBeast is a web app that tracks App Store and Google Play rankings daily from public store data, with webhook alerts, a ranked to-do list, an API and an MCP server, from $10 a month for the whole team or free to self-host.

Is AsoBeast a good ASO.dev alternative?

For indie developers and small teams who need keyword tracking on both stores, yes: $10 a month for the workspace instead of $39 a month per seat, with Google Play rankings, a year of history and webhook alerts included. If you rely on ASO.dev to edit listings, upload screenshots, reply to reviews or research Apple Ads, AsoBeast does not replace those.

How much does ASO.dev cost compared with AsoBeast?

ASO.dev prices every plan per seat. Console, without keyword tracking, is $19 a month or $180 a year. Indie is $39 a month or $348 a year, and ASO.dev says it is not intended for professional ASO specialists or agencies. Pro is $89 a month or $828 a year, and Marketing $199 a month or $1,788 a year. AsoBeast Indie is $10 a month or $100 a year, Ultimate is $99 a month for agencies, neither charges per seat, and self-hosting is free.

Does ASO.dev track Google Play keyword rankings?

Not yet. ASO.dev edits Google Play listings, releases, prices and review replies, but its site lists Google Play keyword rankings as coming soon and Google Play ASO analytics as not available yet. AsoBeast tracks Google Play rankings daily in 225 locations on every plan.

Does ASO.dev have a web app?

No. ASO.dev runs as an app for macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android, and says it skips a web version so your App Store Connect key stays on your device. AsoBeast runs in any browser and never asks for store credentials, because it reads public store data.

Does ASO.dev have a free trial?

Yes. Each ASO.dev plan has a 3-day trial. Its checkout asks for a card or PayPal and bills the plan when the trial ends unless you cancel, and its terms rule out refunds on paid subscriptions. AsoBeast’s 7-day trial needs no card, and nothing is charged when it ends.

Which MCP server is better for Claude, Cursor or Codex?

It depends on the job. ASO.dev’s MCP server runs locally once you start it in the app and lets an assistant read and fill your listing metadata and work on reviews, but it leaves out keyword rankings, popularity and competitors by design. AsoBeast’s hosted MCP server has 27 read tools and 5 opt-in write tools over your rankings, competitors and actions on every plan and the trial, and a token is read-only unless you allow changes.

See the AsoBeast MCP server

Can I self-host ASO.dev?

No. ASO.dev licenses its apps under an end user licence agreement that rules out copying or modifying them, and its rankings come from ASO.dev’s own keyword database. AsoBeast is open source under AGPL-3.0, and the self-hosted version has every feature for free on your own server with Docker.

Self-host AsoBeast

Can I move my keywords from ASO.dev to AsoBeast?

Yes. Copy your tracked keywords from the ASO.dev tracking list as one comma-separated line, then paste it into AsoBeast, up to 200 phrases at a time. Ranking history does not transfer, so AsoBeast starts building yours from the first daily check.
