What AppCompete is
AppCompete is a browser-based App Store Optimization toolkit for indie iOS developers and small studios. Its keyword scores rate popularity and ranking difficulty from 1 to 100 using live competitor data, with separate difficulty estimates for reaching the top 5, top 10, and top 20. For each keyword, the competitor breakdown lists the top 10 apps with ratings, reviews, genre, release date, and App Store links. Competitor Watch tracks rivals’ versions, prices, screenshots, and ratings by country each day, and gives AI verdicts on their reviews. The opportunity finder sorts targets into Sweet Spot, Hidden Gem, or High Competition and can scan up to 30 storefronts at once. Rank tracking offers daily snapshots and 90 days of search history. Market Trends includes Hot New Apps, Risers, and Soft-Launch Spy; public top charts are swept every six hours. The free plan costs nothing and includes one app, 10 keywords, keyword scores, ranking tiers, competitor details, daily tracking, 90-day history, a 30-region opportunity finder, and CSV export. The product is in beta and ships improvements weekly.
