Best Appfigures Alternative for App Store Keyword Research

Appfigures has built a recognizable name in the mobile app ecosystem. However, for many indie developers, bootstrapped founders, and agile product teams, Keyword research is tied to tracked-keyword quotas; bulk analysis across 109 global storefronts quickly exhausts plan limits.

Common frustrations include strict limits on the number of keywords you can monitor per app, storefront switching is cumbersome when analyzing international demand, keyword suggestions often lean generic rather than intent-focused. As a result, developers find themselves paying for dozens of enterprise features they never touch simply to check keyword popularity and difficulty.

ASOGrade was built specifically to strip away enterprise reporting bloat and deliver the core data you actually need before writing your metadata: Apple Search Ads popularity (0–100), ranking difficulty, and competing app counts across 109 App Store storefronts.

Instead of navigating complex multi-tab projects, you open ASOGrade in any browser, paste up to 100 keyword candidates, and instantly receive calibrated scores. At $14.99/month or $99/year, it provides institutional-grade demand intelligence at an indie-friendly price.

While Appfigures relies on App Store Connect API sync + keyword rank scraping, ASOGrade connects directly to verified Apple Search Ads demand signals and evaluates the actual top-ranking apps in each specific storefront.

This ensures your metadata decisions are grounded in real search volume rather than algorithmic guesswork.
