What the screen shows
Check a keyword rank now
Paste your app's store link, type a keyword, then pick the store and the storefront. The free check shows where your app stands in that search today, and the apps above it.
What you do with it
Rank, per storefront
A keyword tracked in four countries is four rankings. Rank in one country says nothing about another.
Check one keyword nowHistory with the gaps kept
A day that could not be measured stays a gap on the chart, never a fake drop.
On each keyword's screen
The apps above you
Open a keyword and the top of the search is laid out: the apps above you and yours, with rating counts and the date of each one's last release.
- Rank history next to the keyword's popularity and difficulty.
- Related searches for the keyword, to find the next term worth tracking.
- Leaders that stopped updating: top-10 apps with no update in over a year.
- Apple's own apps: Apple's built-in apps that rank for the keyword, kept apart from your real competitors.
App Store keyword rank tracking
App Store search reads three fields you write: the app name, the subtitle and the hidden 100-character keyword field. A rank belongs to one keyword in one storefront, so “habit tracker” in the US and in the UK are two rankings, each with its own history.
Name, subtitle and keywords change only when a new app version goes live. Track the keywords before you submit, and the history shows what the new metadata moved, storefront by storefront.
- Your rank for each keyword and storefront, every day, with the apps above you.
- Popularity and difficulty beside each rank, so a climb on a busy term reads differently from a climb on a quiet one.
- An alert when a keyword drops or rises, or when a competitor passes you.
Step by step: App Store keyword rank tracking.
Google Play keyword rank tracking
Google Play has no keyword field. The text search works from is your title (30 characters), short description (80) and full description (4,000), and Google does not publish a list of the fields it reads. The rank is still per keyword and per country.
A store listing edit on Play goes live without an app release, so a rank can move on the day you publish new text. Start tracking before the edit; otherwise there is no earlier rank to compare with.
Play Console lists the search terms that already bring people to your listing. Terms where your app does not show up at all never appear there. A tracked keyword shows both cases: a rank, or not in the list.
Step by step: Google Play rank tracking.

Keyword allowances are not one unit. Storelift counts a keyword once for each storefront it is tracked in, so 20 keywords in two storefronts use 40. Settle how many keywords and storefronts you need first, then compare. Every tool with a recorded price is in the ASO tool pricing comparison.

How it works
- Paste your app's store link. The app, its storefronts and its listing come in by themselves.
- Add keywords and choose storefronts. Each keyword × storefront pair is tracked on its own, because rank in the US says nothing about rank in Germany.
- Read the daily history. When Hive has already seen your app or a keyword you add, its history is there from the first day.
- Set alerts for drops, rises and competitors passing you, in the dashboard or on Telegram, Slack, Discord or a webhook.
How to read a rank
Every day on the chart is a day we measured.
A rank result is one of three things, and the screen keeps them apart:
- A number: your position in the search for that keyword and storefront.
- Not in the list: the search ran and your app was not among the results.
- Not measured: that day's reading didn't complete. The chart leaves a gap and picks up again with the next reading.

Frequently asked
How do I check my app's rank for a keyword?
Use the free rank check at the top of this page: paste the app's store link, type the keyword, pick the store and the storefront. You get today's position and the apps above you. To keep that rank every day, add the keyword to tracking; the Free plan covers 50 keyword × storefront pairs.
Can I check my keyword ranks on iPhone?
Yes. App Rank Tracker by Storelift, the iPhone app, signs in to the same account and shows each tracked keyword with its current rank, its rank history and the apps above you, in every storefront you track.
Why is my rank different on the App Store and on Google Play?
They are two searches that read different text. The App Store uses the name, subtitle and keyword field; Google Play uses the title and the two descriptions. A rank in one store says nothing about the other, so each one is tracked on its own.
How does Storelift's price compare with other rank trackers?
Free costs nothing. Pro is $20 a month or $200 a year for 2,500 tracked keywords in 5 apps. The table on this page puts entry plans from other trackers beside it, with the day each pricing page was read.
How often is rank measured?
Every tracked keyword gets a reading for each day, in each storefront you chose. New apps, keywords and storefronts are measured when you add them, on every plan.
What does an empty spot on the chart mean?
That the reading for that day didn't complete. It is drawn as a gap on purpose: a failed reading plotted as a zero would look exactly like losing every rank you had.
Is a keyword tracked in five countries one keyword or five?
Five. The unit counted against your plan is keyword × storefront, because rank belongs to one storefront.
Is there a free app rank tracker?
Yes. The free plan tracks 50 keywords (keyword × storefront) for 1 app in 2 storefronts with 30 days of history. Pro raises that to 5 apps, 2,500 keywords, all 175 storefronts and 9 months of history.
Do you track Google Play too?
Yes. Google Play apps are tracked the same way, keyword by keyword and storefront by storefront, with the same three states.
