AppFollow Alternative
Looking for an AppFollow alternative? If you don't need a review-management dashboard and just want raw App Store and Google Play review data in your own pipeline, ASORadar is a developer-first App Reviews API with pay-per-request pricing instead of a per-seat subscription.
AppFollow vs ASORadar
AppFollow is a full review-management platform — reply workflows, Slack/Zendesk routing, tags, team seats. That's great if your support team lives inside its UI. It's overkill (and overpriced) if all you need is the underlying review data as JSON.
| ASORadar | AppFollow | |
|---|---|---|
| Primary shape | REST API (reviews as JSON) | Platform + UI, API as add-on |
| Stores | App Store + Google Play, one schema | App Store + Google Play |
| Pricing model | Pay-per-request from $0.001 | Per-integration / seat subscription |
| Monthly minimum | None | Yes (plan tiers) |
| Reply management | No (data, not workflow) | Yes (core feature) |
| Free to evaluate | 100 requests | Trial |
| AI-agent friendly | llms.txt, MCP, OpenAPI, composite endpoints |
Limited |
When ASORadar is the better fit
- You're building a product or pipeline that consumes reviews (analytics, ML, alerting) rather than answering reviews by hand.
- You track many apps and don't want to pay per-app or per-seat — pay-per-request scales with usage, not headcount.
- You want one schema for both stores and the freedom to query on demand from your own code.
- You're wiring reviews into an AI agent — ASORadar ships
llms.txt, an MCP server, OpenAPI, and composite endpoints like/{a1|g1}/reviews/sentiment/{app_id}.
When to keep AppFollow
If your support org needs a shared inbox, canned replies, reviewer tagging, and SLA dashboards, AppFollow's workflow layer is the point. ASORadar deliberately doesn't build that — it gives you the data and gets out of the way.
Migrate in one call
Replace an AppFollow reviews export with a single request:
curl "https://api.asoradar.com/a1/reviews?app_id=389801252&country=us&count=200" \
-H "x-access-key: YOUR_ACCESS_KEY"
The same call with a /g1/reviews prefix and a package-name app_id covers Google Play. See the App Store and Google Play guides.
FAQ
Does ASORadar reply to reviews like AppFollow?
No. ASORadar is a data API, not a reply-management tool. It returns reviews; what you do with them is up to your code.
Is ASORadar cheaper than AppFollow?
For data access, usually — there's no subscription or per-seat fee. You pay per request from $0.001, with 100 free to start. Whether it's cheaper depends on volume, but there's no minimum to clear.
Can I get review sentiment too?
Yes — the /{a1|g1}/reviews/sentiment/{app_id} composite endpoint returns 4-class sentiment and topic clusters.
How do I switch?
Sign up, grab an access key, and point your existing review job at /a1/reviews or /g1/reviews.
