aso.best

by Primoz Cigoj

Overview

Keyword research for the App Store and Google Play, from the stores' own numbers. Ask ChatGPT which phrases a competitor ranks for, including the hidden keyword field nobody can see; score any keyword with Apple Search Ads popularity and first-page difficulty; analyse a niche; compare where two apps rank; check Apple's top charts and an app's visibility; and follow your apps and keywords so aso.best reads their positions every morning. Numbers come from Apple and Google, never from estimates. Requires an aso.best account; the tools answer on paid plans, bought on aso.best.

Tools

app_profile

ChatGPT

Everything public about one app: rating, ratings, version, what is new, size, languages, today's chart positions across storefronts and categories, and its latest keyword report.

compare_apps

ChatGPT

Where a second app ranks on the phrases a competitor ranks for, side by side. Needs a finished read_competitor run for the competitor (any account, last 7 days); the other app's positions come from the same first pages, so nothing new is fetched.

competitor_finder

ChatGPT

The ten apps that keep appearing on the first page for the phrases an app's listing is built from, with every phrase each of them ranks for.

find_app

ChatGPT

Resolve an app name to App Store apps: id, name, seller, genre, rating, ratings and the public page URL.

follow_app

ChatGPT

Follow an app for this account as yours (is_mine true) or as a rival to watch. Pass the numeric id from find_app.

my_apps

ChatGPT

The apps this account follows, with today's rating, ratings, best chart position and the last seven days.

my_keywords

ChatGPT

The keywords this account tracks for its apps: position today and yesterday, best in 30 days, popularity and difficulty.

niche_analysis

ChatGPT

A phrase and the queries Apple puts beside it, read together: which apps own the first pages, dominance of the leader, median difficulty, total demand, small apps in the top ten, and an open / contested / locked verdict.

play_keyword

ChatGPT

Google Play: the first page for a phrase in a country (top 30 in order, rating counts for the top 10, installs bucket), difficulty on the same 0-100 scale as the App Store, and where a package sits if given.

read_competitor

ChatGPT

Every App Store phrase a competitor ranks for, with Apple's popularity, first-page difficulty, position, and whether the phrase is visible (name/subtitle) or hidden in its keyword field. Returns a fresh report at once when one exists for this app, store and language (7 days); otherwise starts a run that takes about two minutes and tells you to poll run_status. Counts against the account's monthly runs like the web app.

run_status

ChatGPT

Status of a run started by read_competitor, and the full report once it is done: every phrase with popularity, difficulty, position, visibility (name, subtitle, both, hidden, unknown) and opportunity.

score_phrase

ChatGPT

Score one App Store phrase: Apple Search Ads popularity (0-100, store-wide), first-page difficulty in the given storefront, the ten apps on the first page, and the related queries Apple suggests with their popularity.
