ASO tool comparison
RocketASO vs Sensor Tower
Updated 2026-10-03
Sensor Tower is an enterprise market-intelligence platform for the App Store and Google Play. It sells estimates of downloads, revenue, usage, and advertising, typically on an annual contract.
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 | Sensor Tower | RocketASO |
|---|---|---|
| Product | Enterprise market-intelligence platform | Web workspace |
| Stores | App Store and Google Play | App Store and Google Play |
| Who it is for | Brands, publishers, and investors who buy market estimates | Developers and small studios who want the next listing fix from their own store reports |
| Price | Annual enterprise contract | 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 | Modeled downloads, revenue, usage, and ad intelligence | 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 | Market context, separate from your listing workflow | Names one listing fix in dollars for the week, then reads whether installs moved. |
When RocketASO is the better fit
- You want the next edit to your own listing, priced from your App Store search report.
- You want to publish a review reply or replace a screenshot from the same workspace.
- You want to start with a free audit of a public listing.
When Sensor Tower is the better fit
- You need estimates of what other apps earn and how many times they are installed.
- You are buying a market view for a category, a company, or an investor update.
- The listing edit itself is handled somewhere else.
The bottom line
Sensor Tower estimates the market. RocketASO reads your store reports and tells you which listing change to make this week, then whether installs moved.

Is RocketASO a Sensor Tower alternative?
Only for the listing job. Sensor Tower is the better buy when the question is how a category or a rival performs in estimated downloads and revenue.
Why does RocketASO leave out download estimates?
Apple and Google do not publish another app's downloads or revenue. RocketASO keeps those figures out and uses your own reports once you connect.
Can I audit a public listing before paying?
Yes. The free plan audits any public App Store or Google Play listing. Store reports, the priced fix, and the install readout need a connection.
