Common questions
Is AppFollow an ASO tool?
Partially. AppFollow started as a review management platform and added ASO features over time. Their strength is review reply automation, auto-reply rules, and helpdesk integrations (Zendesk, Jira, Intercom). Their ASO module covers basic keyword tracking and rank monitoring, but they don't have deep keyword research, AI metadata generation, pre-computed opportunities, or transparent difficulty scoring. If ASO is your primary need, AppFollow's ASO features are secondary to their review management core.
Does ASOScan have review reply?
Yes. Connect your App Store Connect / Google Play account and reply to reviews from inside ASOScan — our AI drafts a natural response in the reviewer's own language and can weave in a keyword you track. You also get batch sentiment NLP (topics, bugs, feature requests) on every review. AppFollow goes deeper on reply workflow — auto-reply rules, macros, a shared team inbox — so if high-volume reply automation is your core need, it's the deeper tool. (Developer replies aren't an organic ranking signal — the value is trust and consistency.)
Which is cheaper for ASO specifically?
ASOScan, by a wide margin. Our Pro plan is $59/mo for 12 apps and 3,000 total keywords, AI metadata generation, and full competitor analysis. AppFollow's Essential plan is ~$119/mo for 1 app with limited ASO features. That's $4.92/app vs $119/app. If you're paying for ASO capabilities specifically, we offer dramatically more value per dollar.
