ASO tool comparison
RocketASO vs AppFollow
Updated 2026-10-03
AppFollow is a browser platform for app reviews, ratings, and replies, with ASO tools beside that workflow. It covers the App Store and Google Play and bills a recurring subscription for teams.
RocketASO reads the App Store and Google Play reports for your own apps, names the one listing fix worth the most this week in dollars, and measures whether that change moved installs.
How they differ
| Aspect | AppFollow | RocketASO |
|---|---|---|
| Product | Browser platform centered on reviews | Web workspace |
| Stores | App Store and Google Play | App Store and Google Play |
| Who it is for | Support and growth teams who live in the review inbox | Developers and small studios who want the next listing fix from their own store reports |
| Price | Recurring subscription | Free public listing audit. Solo is $19 a month for one app on both stores, one seat. Indie is $39 per connected app a month, with its App Store and Google Play versions counted once. Studio is $199 a month. 14 days free, no card. |
| Data | Reviews and ratings pulled for the connected apps, plus ASO research | Connected work uses the developer's own App Store Connect and Google Play reports. Keyword volume and difficulty are never guessed: Apple's own popularity score shows when Apple Ads is connected. Download and revenue estimates for other apps are not offered. |
| After a listing change | Review and rating workflows, with ASO reporting alongside | Names one listing fix in dollars for the week, then reads whether installs moved. |
When RocketASO is the better fit
- The week's decision is a listing fix from the search report, priced in dollars.
- You want the reply, the screenshot, and the metadata draft in the same place as that decision.
- You want a free audit of the public listing before you connect.
When AppFollow is the better fit
- The job is a shared review inbox for several people.
- You need review automation and reputation reporting as the main product.
- Keyword research is a side task for a support team.
The bottom line
AppFollow is built for the review inbox. RocketASO includes replies, and the page you open first is the search readout and the one listing fix worth the most this week.
