ASO.dev Alternative — App Reviews Data API

Searching for an ASO.dev alternative? It depends on what you actually need. ASO.dev is an App Store Optimization platform — keyword discovery, rank tracking, listing management, and AI review replies for your own apps. ASORadar is a different kind of tool: a reviews data API that returns reviews for any app, billed per request. If it's the data you're after, not a dashboard, this is for you.

Different jobs — read this first

These products overlap on the words "ASO" and "app reviews", but they solve different problems:

ASORadar ASO.dev
What it is Reviews data API ASO platform / dashboard
Primary job Fetch reviews for any app, programmatically Optimize & manage your own apps
Reviews Pull as JSON for analysis/monitoring Reply to reviews (AI/translation)
Keywords & ranks Not its focus Core feature
Billing Pay-per-request, from $0.001/call Subscription, monthly tiers
Both stores One schema (/a1, /g1) App Store + Google Play metadata
Best for Pipelines, monitoring, AI agents Indie/studio ASO workflows

If you need a dashboard to manage your own listings, reply to reviews, and track keyword rankings — ASO.dev is the right tool, not ASORadar. Read on only if what you want is programmatic review data.

When ASORadar is what you actually want

  • You need review data for apps you don't own — competitor monitoring, market research, sentiment analysis across many apps.
  • You're building a pipeline or product that consumes reviews as JSON, not logging into a dashboard.
  • You want pay-per-request with no subscription — scale with usage, not seats.
  • You're wiring reviews into an AI agent — ASORadar ships llms.txt, an MCP server, OpenAPI, and composite endpoints like /a1/reviews/sentiment/{app_id}.
  • You want one schema for both stores: /a1/reviews and /g1/reviews return the same shape.

When to keep (or choose) ASO.dev

If your job is optimizing your own apps — researching keywords, tracking your rankings, managing store listings, and replying to your reviews with AI/translation — that's exactly what ASO.dev's platform is built for. ASORadar deliberately doesn't do that; it's a data API, not an ASO suite.

The data, in one call

curl "https://api.asoradar.com/a1/reviews?app_id=389801252&country=us" \
  -H "x-access-key: YOUR_ACCESS_KEY"

/g1/reviews with a package-name app_id covers Google Play. See the App Store and Google Play references.

FAQ

Is ASORadar a replacement for ASO.dev?

Not feature-for-feature — they do different jobs. ASO.dev is an ASO platform for managing and optimizing your own apps (keywords, ranks, review replies). ASORadar is a reviews data API for fetching reviews of any app. If you need the data, ASORadar; if you need the dashboard, ASO.dev.

Does ASORadar do keyword tracking or rank monitoring?

No. ASORadar is focused on review data (App Store + Google Play). Keyword and rank tooling is ASO.dev's domain.

Can I get reviews for apps I don't own?

Yes — that's the core use case. Pass any app's app_id to /a1/reviews or /g1/reviews. The data is public app-store review data.

How is ASORadar billed?

Pay-per-request from $0.001 per call, no subscription and no monthly minimum, with 100 free promo requests to start.
