ASOScan vs AppRadar
An honest side-by-side comparison. We show where we win and where AppRadar still leads.
AppRadar's killer feature is direct-to-store publishing. You edit metadata and push it to the stores without leaving the tool. ASOScan's strength is deeper analytics: AI metadata generation, 6-signal difficulty scoring, pre-computed opportunities from 6 sources, and real-time updates. There's no per-app price tax either.

Feature-by-feature breakdown
Keyword research and rank tracking
Both tools track keyword ranks on the App Store and Google Play and report volume and difficulty. The difference is how much tracking each plan buys you: App Radar reaches 3,000 keywords on Scale at €299/mo, and ASOScan reaches the same 3,000 on Pro at $59/mo. At the entry tier App Radar Essentials tracks 500 keywords across 2 apps; ASOScan Solo tracks 500 across 1 app at $15/mo, and Pro covers 12 apps.
ASOScan additionally pre-computes keyword opportunities from six sources: your own metadata, your tracked competitors, an AI engine, Google Suggest expansions, store picks and a category trending index. The list is ranked and waiting rather than assembled by hand each morning.
Publishing changes to the stores
This is App Radar's flagship, and it is genuinely the thing to buy them for. It connects to App Store Connect and Google Play Console and pushes metadata changes directly, with a bulk listing editor and AI translation inside the same flow. If your week is spent editing many listings across many locales, that removes real work.
ASOScan does not publish to the stores. You copy the metadata across into App Store Connect or Play Console yourself, which takes about half a minute per listing. Native publishing is on our roadmap and gated on write access to App Store Connect; we are not going to pretend it ships today.
AI and metadata work
App Radar's AI is aimed at the publishing pipeline: translating a listing you are about to push, and assisting the bulk editor.
ASOScan's is aimed at the decision before it. You get multi-variant titles, subtitles and descriptions written per market with language-tier awareness, AI keyword suggestions with a stated rationale, AI review-reply drafting in the reviewer's language, and batch sentiment analysis that tags reviews by topic, bug and feature request. The Keyword Simulator then shows which tracked keywords a draft would cover before you publish anything. It is a preview, not a live store A/B test.
How you buy, and what a trial costs you
App Radar's 7-day trial requires a credit card and bills automatically unless you cancel, and there is no perpetual free tier. Pricing is in euros, so if you budget in dollars the real number moves with the exchange rate.
ASOScan's 7-day trial takes no card at all, and the free ASO scan runs before you make any account: paste a store link and read the score. Every tier carries unlimited team seats and all markets; the plan decides how many apps and keywords you track, not which features you are allowed to use.

- You need direct-to-store publishing: edit metadata and push to ASC / Play Console without leaving the tool

- You need Zapier integration for workflow automation
AppRadar's direct-to-store publishing is genuinely useful. It removes the "copy-paste to App Store Connect" step entirely.

Common questions
Does ASOScan publish directly to the stores?
Not yet. Direct-to-store publishing (editing metadata and pushing it to App Store Connect or Google Play Console) is on our roadmap as part of the ASC/Play Console OAuth integration. Today you write and optimize metadata in ASOScan, then copy it to the store consoles manually. AppRadar has a clear lead here.
Which tool has better analytics?
ASOScan goes deeper on keyword analytics: 6-signal difficulty scoring with published weights, pre-computed keyword opportunities from 6 sources (metadata, competitors, AI, suggest expansions, store picks, trending index), suggest-powered gap analysis, and batch review sentiment NLP that extracts topics, bugs, and feature requests. AppRadar's analytics are competent but more surface-level. Their strength is the workflow from analysis to publishing, not the analysis depth itself.
Can I try ASOScan before paying?
Yes. Every plan comes with a 7-day free trial. You get full access to all features during the trial, with the same limits as the paid plan you select. No credit card is required to start it, and nothing is charged unless you pick a plan.
