# ASO.dev vs Storelift

Updated: 2026-09-14

ASO.dev is mainly a desktop client for App Store Connect and Google Play Console: metadata, releases, screenshots and review replies, with keyword tracking as one module. Storelift does one part of that job — it reads where an app ranks and which terms the store suggests — and that part starts at $0.

## Where the plans differ

|  | Storelift | ASO.dev |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Free tier | Permanent | None — 3-day trial |
| Keyword tracking starts at | $0 · Pro $20/mo | Indie · $39/seat/mo · $29 billed yearly |
| History and export on that plan | Pro · 365 days · export | Indie · 30 days · no export |
| Apps and keywords | Pro · 5 apps · 250 keywords per app | Indie · unlimited |
| Edits store listings | No — it reads the stores | Yes · App Store Connect and Play Console, on every plan |
| MCP server | Pro · $20/mo · 8 read-only tools over rank data | Every plan · runs inside the desktop app, edits metadata, no keyword data |

NOTE: Read from ASO.dev's pricing and MCP pages on 13 September 2026. Prices are per seat. The $19 Console plan has no keyword tracking; ASO.dev measures 60 countries every four hours. Its MCP page says keyword data is left out on purpose, citing the volume of ranking data it stores each day.

## When ASO.dev is the right tool

If most of your ASO time goes into editing listings — titles, keyword fields, screenshots and release notes across many locales — ASO.dev replaces the store consoles, and Storelift does not touch them at all. Its Indie plan also has no app or keyword cap.

It runs on macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and the web. Its MCP server lets an assistant fill in metadata inside the app, and nothing goes live until you publish it.

## When Storelift is the right tool

If the question is where does the app rank, and is anyone searching for this term, Storelift answers it for free for one app in two storefronts, and for $20 across 128 storefronts with a year of history. ASO.dev's first plan with rankings costs $39 a seat and keeps 30 days.

Demand is the other difference. ASO.dev shows Apple's Search Ads popularity for each keyword and ships a detector for how that score moves. Storelift reads demand from store autocomplete, which exists in every storefront it measures.

## FAQ

Q: Why does ASO.dev's $19 plan not track keywords?
A: The Console plan covers listings, pricing, releases and review replies; ASO.dev's pricing page states it has no ASO analytics or keyword tracking. Rankings start on Indie at $39 per seat per month, or $29 billed yearly.

Q: Does ASO.dev have a free plan?
A: No. Every plan has a three-day trial. Storelift's free tier has no end date: one app, 25 keywords per storefront, two countries, 30 days of history.

Q: Can I use both?
A: Yes; they overlap little. ASO.dev edits the listing, and Storelift measures what the edit did to rank in each storefront.
