Keyword rankings, listing audits and competitor monitoring inside the Shopify App Store.

10 listed here, and 5 more that also belong in it.

## Tools

### AppJubilee

Page: https://watchfor.tools/tools/appjubilee
Summary: Multi-app ASO with automatic keyword discovery.
Price: $29 / $499 / $99 / $199 a month. By number of apps
Watch for: Same company as StoreCensus. So their comparison pages against rivals are one vendor's marketing, not two independent sources.

### AppstorePulse

Page: https://watchfor.tools/tools/appstorepulse
Summary: Rankings, competitor alerts and real MRR in one place.
Price: Free tier, then paid
Watch for: Built by the maker of Wide Bundles, a bundle app in the Upsell and bundles category. If you compete there, you would be handing your keyword strategy to a company that competes in the same category. The free tier is one app, three keywords and one competitor. Search volume is a relative tier estimate, not real numbers.

### SAMI

Page: https://watchfor.tools/tools/tracksami
Summary: Look up an app and see the keywords it already ranks for.
Price: $8 per month
Watch for: Rankings exist only for keywords in its curated database. A long-tail term it does not carry will not show up. The site does not say how terms are chosen or added. There is no changelog, blog or named team on the site, so what has shipped is hard to check from outside.

### BestAppify

Page: https://watchfor.tools/tools/bestappify
Summary: The App Store data your agent can act on, not just read.
Price: Free plan available
Watch for: Revenue analytics are rebuilt from subscription charge events. Its own docs note that a null ranking means not captured that day, not unranked.

### LetsMetrix

Page: https://watchfor.tools/tools/letsmetrix
Summary: Category rankings and collections, with a free plan.
Price: Free, Pro $19/mo, Studio $49/mo
Watch for: Owned by OmegaTheme, which runs a large portfolio of Shopify apps. So the same conflict applies as with any tracker built by an app developer. Developer analytics sit behind a login, and the depth is unproven.

### AppNavigator

Page: https://watchfor.tools/tools/appnavigator
Summary: Public index with ranking history, no account needed.
Price: Free
Watch for: Read-only. No alerts and no tracking of your own listing.

### SASI

Page: https://watchfor.tools/tools/sasi
Summary: Mantle's free App Store index, with listing history and change alerts.
Price: Free
Watch for: Run by Mantle, whose billing platform is winding down. SASI's own site says nothing about its future, and it was being updated on 23 October 2026. It is free, with no plan or terms that say how long that lasts. Do not make it the only copy of data you depend on.

### Ranksy

Page: https://watchfor.tools/tools/ranksy
Summary: Follows a keyword through to the customer who paid.
Price: $39 / $89 per month
Watch for: There is no free plan, and the pricing page says there will not be one. So after the trial, the Chrome extension is the only free part. Attribution is only as good as what you connect. BigQuery and a Partner API key are both required. Listing traffic you have not been exporting is not backfilled, and the first useful report is some weeks away. Nobody is named anywhere on the site: no company, no founder and no social profile. For a tool you give Partner API revenue data to, ask about that before you connect it.

### Rankbase

Page: https://watchfor.tools/tools/rankbase
Summary: Daily keyword positions, and where the installs behind them came from.
Price: $49 / $99 a month. 14-day trial. Growth 5 apps, Business 20
Watch for: Craftshift publishes Shopify apps of its own: Bulk Product Image Upload and Export, Variant Images and Swatches, and Combined Listings. Rankbase started as the internal tracker for them. That is a fair origin. It is also a conflict if you compete in product images or variants. Your keyword strategy would be visible to somebody who sells apps of the same kind. The site's evidence is testimonials, not numbers. The one it leads with, an app going from 13th to 1st, is a single keyword on a single app. It is a rank tracker with an attribution layer, not a revenue tool: nothing here reads your Partner billing.

### Becketto Rank Tracker

Page: https://watchfor.tools/tools/becketto
Summary: Free keyword rank history for the App Store, no account needed to look.
Price: Free
Watch for: The same person publishes Affilitrak, an affiliate marketing app for merchants on the Shopify App Store. Tracking affiliate or referral keywords here means handing your keyword strategy to somebody competing in that exact category. That is the same conflict AppstorePulse carries. It is one person's side project on a personal domain. There is no company behind it, no stated retention or refresh schedule, and no commitment to keep running. So use it for a quick check, not to build a process on. How far the history goes back is not published and could not be established without an account.

### Applora

Page: https://watchfor.tools/tools/applora
Listed under: App Store data (https://watchfor.tools/categories/data), and also in this category
Summary: The whole App Store as a live database, free on the web and over MCP.
Price: Free, Pro $49/mo ($39/mo yearly)
Watch for: Store records come from public App Store reviews. A store only appears if it has publicly reviewed an app. It is not install data, and they say so plainly.

### SaaS Insights

Page: https://watchfor.tools/tools/saasinsights
Listed under: Analytics & billing (https://watchfor.tools/categories/biz), and also in this category
Summary: Partner API revenue and App Store rankings on one dashboard.
Price: From $49/mo with free usage until $2.5k earnings
Watch for: Nobody is named anywhere on it. The about page is several paragraphs of "we" with no company, no founder and no location. The only social profile published is an X account. That is a lot of anonymity for a tool you connect a Partner API key to, and the one thing to ask about before you do. The free tier is generous, but it is a revenue threshold, not a feature limit. So the bill arrives exactly when the app starts working. It is strongly targeted at teams leaving Mantle right now. That tells you the pricing is competitive today and says nothing about where it settles.

### AppVitals

Page: https://watchfor.tools/tools/appvitals
Listed under: Analytics & billing (https://watchfor.tools/categories/biz), and also in this category
Summary: Partner API revenue rebuilt from raw events, with rank tracking and uptime beside it.
Price: Free, then $15/mo tier for $1k to $3k MRR
Watch for: The marketing site names nobody. The legal notice shows the operator is a Czech sole trader called Jan Thér, billing through Paddle. That is one person holding a Partner API key and the complete revenue history of every app connected to it, which is worth weighing before connecting. The headline figures are not customers either: 27,300+ apps, 17,900+ developers and 932,000+ reviews are the size of its App Store index, which is roughly the App Store. Nothing published says how many teams pay for this. Revenue-banded pricing means the bill tracks the business, which is generous while you are small and worth modeling before you are not. The GA4 half needs a BigQuery export set up on your side, so attribution needs setup work first. The changelog sits behind the login, so how often it ships cannot be checked from outside.

### Prys

Page: https://watchfor.tools/tools/prys
Listed under: Analytics & billing (https://watchfor.tools/categories/biz), and also in this category
Summary: Keyword-level revenue attribution for apps, with App Store SEO, ads and email on top.
Price: Free under $1k/mo MRR, then $49.95 to $499.95/mo by MRR
Watch for: Prys grew out of Convert2x, a growth agency for Shopify apps. Its about page still offers the agency to anyone who wants the work done for them. Connecting it gives one company your Partner revenue history and your GA4 data. It benchmarks you against hundreds of other Shopify apps, and the site does not say where that data comes from. Without ShopIDs in BigQuery, it matches installs to visits with its own algorithm, which it calls around 80% accurate. The figure of 500+ apps is its own claim. The company, Prys.io Ltd, is headquartered in Israel.

### Meridian

Page: https://watchfor.tools/tools/meridian
Listed under: Ecosystem suites (https://watchfor.tools/categories/suite), and also in this category
Summary: Whole app lifecycle: hosting, billing, CRM, email, ASO.
Price: $69 / $169 per app per month
Watch for: Moving to it means moving your app's hosting, not only your data. A wide product scope from a new team that also runs a Shopify agency. It was in closed early access until October 2026 and now offers a 14-day trial.
