Applyra alternative, in practice
Applyra and aso.best start from the same idea: Apple publishes enough to do keyword research honestly, so there is no need to estimate. Both read Apple Search Ads popularity, both search the live store for positions, both infer the hidden keyword field from phrases that rank without appearing in the name or subtitle. If that is what you use Applyra for, the report here will look familiar, and it is rebuilt from live data in two minutes for any app.
The differences are around the report. aso.best has an assistant that runs the tools for you and answers in tables; a My apps page with a daily record of rating, ratings and best chart position for the apps you follow, and a side-by-side compare; keyword tracking with a daily line; and an App Store Connect editor that puts tracked phrases into the keyword field with one click and replies to reviews, without ever submitting for review. Every app in the charts has a public page with chart positions in 22 stores, ratings by country, the apps that rank beside it and a visibility audit.
Applyra has things aso.best does not: a REST API, a larger MCP tool list, a referral programme. If you need an API today, Applyra is the better choice. If you want the reading, the tracking and the editing in one place, with a chat that does the running, start here free.
