Sensor Tower acquired data.ai (formerly App Annie) in March 2024. If you need an alternative, first decide whether you are replacing market estimates, own-app reporting or listing work. Sensor Tower's announcement establishes the acquisition; confirm your current account and historical-data access with the vendor.Quick answer: Sensor Tower is the owner to contact about data.ai migration. Compare other providers by the job you need: market estimates, own-app analytics or listing production. Acquisition does not prove there is only one capable provider.
1. AppDrift — listing preparation and updates
If your job is updating your own listing, AppDrift brings daily keyword tracking, metadata drafts, translation, screenshots and supported publishing into one workspace. That workflow is different from purchasing a market-wide download or revenue estimate dataset.
Pricing: Free plan (1 app, Free-template screenshot exports with an account, 50 AI tokens once); paid from $9.99/month.
Verdict: A candidate when you need to prepare and maintain your listing. It does not provide a market-wide competitor revenue dataset.
2. Sensor Tower — the official successor (check the product quote)
Sensor Tower is the owner and direct point of contact for data.ai migration. Evaluate the exact product, historical coverage and licensing needed for your reporting; acquisition does not by itself establish that every old field remains available in the same form.
Pricing: Custom quote; verify dataset and history requirements.
Verdict: The owner to consult for data.ai account migration and historical data. We compared the mid-market options in detail in our Sensor Tower alternatives guide.
3. AppTweak — keyword research and reporting
AppTweak offers historical keyword research, reporting and plan-specific metadata tools. Its entry ASO offer observed on its pricing page on September 10 was $949 billed annually, displayed as $79/month. Currency and selected billing affect the charge.
4. Appfigures — own-app reporting
Appfigures started as app-revenue reporting and grew sideways into ASO. It focuses on consolidated reporting on your own apps — sales, subscriptions, reviews across both stores — with keyword tools attached.
Pricing: Appfigures Connect was $9.99/month and Monitor $44.99/month on its pricing page in the September 10 review.
5. AppMagic — market estimates
AppMagic offers estimates of downloads and revenue by app, market, and genre.
Pricing: A numeric price and dataset scope were not verified here.
Verdict: A market-estimate dataset rather than a listing tool; AppDrift does not model market-wide downloads or revenue.
6. MobileAction — organic and paid search workflows
MobileAction offers keyword research and Apple Ads-related products. Its Lite entry plan was $15/month on its pricing page in the September 10 review; modules and limits vary by plan.
7. AppFollow — review operations
AppFollow focuses on review monitoring, replies and automation with ASO capabilities. Its vendor plan pages show inconsistent price details, so a current price could not be confirmed. For your own apps, AppDrift's review management drafts replies in the reviewer's language for you to edit and send.
8. App Radar — guided ASO work
App Radar offers guided research and listing workflows. The September 10 review of its pricing page observed a €69/month entry offer and a trial rather than a permanent free plan.
How to choose: match the tool to the job data.ai was doing for you
- Market sizing, competitor revenue, investor decks → a modeled market-estimate dataset; AppDrift does not estimate market-wide downloads or revenue.
- Growing your own apps — keywords, metadata, competitors, reviews → AppDrift: tracked keywords, metadata drafts, translation, competitor checks and review replies in one workspace, with a free plan to start.
- Watching your own portfolio's numbers → App Store Connect and Google Play Console report them; AppDrift's Search performance shows Apple's impressions, product page views and downloads by country beside your tracked ranks.
- Reviews at scale → AppDrift's review management drafts replies in the reviewer's language for you to edit and send.
Distinguish reports from your own connected accounts from modeled competitor download and revenue estimates. Ask each provider how it produces the figures and which markets and periods it covers. Before paying, decide whether the data would change a decision. If your immediate task is improving the listing, start with the keyword research guide.
