01What the price actually buys
| Storelift Pro | Astro | |
|---|---|---|
| Platform | Web, any OS | macOS 14+ native app only |

| Free tier | Permanent | None — a restricted demo |
| MCP server | Pro and Studio · 8 read-only tools | Local, beta, 12 tools, in the $108/year plan |
Storelift runs in the browser, so the same measurement is open on a Mac, a Windows laptop and a phone, and it covers Google Play next to the App Store. The free tier is permanent, so the coverage can be checked before anything is paid.
02Where the two don't overlap
Astro is a single-store, single-platform tool built for people who live in Xcode and Apple's own ecosystem. Storelift tracks both stores from a browser tab, which matters the moment an app ships on Android too — Astro has no path there at all, not even a paid tier.
The reverse is also true: Astro's unlimited keyword count beats Storelift Pro's cap of 250 keywords per app, so a team obsessively tracking a long tail of App Store terms on a single Mac gets more from Astro for less money.
Frequently asked
Is Astro cheaper than Storelift?
Yes, on list price — $9/month billed annually against Storelift Pro's $18/month billed yearly. Astro also has no keyword cap. The trade is scope: Astro only covers the App Store and only runs as a native Mac app.
Does Astro track Google Play?
No. Astro is built for Apple's App Store exclusively — there's no Google Play tier at any price.
Can I use Astro on Windows or from a browser?
No — Astro ships as a native macOS 14+ application. Storelift runs in any browser on any OS, which matters if your team isn't Mac-only.
