02Where Storelift is different
Storelift measures Google Play as well as the App Store, and keeps them apart: iOS is read to a depth of 200, Play to 30, and a keyword that ranks in one is not assumed to rank in the other. openaso does not cover Google Play at all.
There is also a screen. Storelift's MCP server answers the same numbers the dashboard draws, so an agent and a person can look at one measurement rather than two tools.
A day that could not be measured is not drawn as a zero. Ranked, not in the list and not measured stay three separate states in the charts, the export and the MCP response.
03What changes if you switch from openaso
The change is in coverage, and in having a screen next to the agent:
- App Store and Google Play sit in one dashboard and are kept apart — a keyword ranking in one is never assumed to rank in the other.
- Each of 175 storefronts is its own row: the same keyword in Turkey and in Germany is two measurements, not one market.
- A night that could not be measured is drawn as a gap, not a zero: ranked, not in the list and not measured stay three separate states.
- Export is on Pro at $20; alerts run on every plan, free included, and go to Telegram, Slack or a webhook.
Rank history does not move between tools — no vendor exports it in a shape another imports. The day you add the app, its history starts and fills in with every nightly run; copy the keyword list you already track, per country, as the starting set.
04When openaso is the better pick
- You work through an agent and want a free MCP server: 13 tools over remote HTTP, 500 tool calls a day ($0 early access).
- You ship on the App Store only, and 500 keyword × app × storefront snapshots a day cover your list.
If what you need is daily keyword rank on both stores and who ranks above you, Storelift does that from $0, and Pro is $20/mo. Where another tool fits better, Storelift alternatives says which.
