Competitor analysis
Review available competitor listing, rating and screenshot observations. Use the differences to develop ideas for your own app; another app’s results remain private.
Paid plans · 3–25 competitors per app by plan · Daily snapshots
How it works
Add a public app link, wait for observations and inspect the available changes.
Paste any App Store or Google Play link. AppDrift identifies the app and begins tracking immediately.
Every 24 hours, AppDrift snapshots their metadata, keywords, ratings, and screenshots. No manual work.
See what changed, find keyword gaps, and optimize your own listing based on real competitor data.

FAQ
Add a competitor app URL to the app you manage. AppDrift collects available public listing information and shows stored changes for comparison. Public store listings do not expose every field or private performance metric.
Basic includes 3 competitors per app, Pro 10 and Studio 25. Competitor keyword rank tracking is included on Studio. Review the pricing page for current plan capacity.
Review available listing titles, descriptions, ratings, review counts and screenshots. The fields available depend on the store and collected observations. These are research inputs, not evidence that a competitor change caused growth.
Competitor observations are collected on the daily monitoring schedule. Check the latest observation date; a failed or unavailable collection is not a new measurement.
Public listing comparisons do not provide a competitor’s private install, conversion or revenue reports. Use the observations to develop questions and hypotheses for your own listing.
Studio includes competitor keyword rank tracking for the supported tracked terms and storefronts. It does not reveal the full private keyword performance of another app.
Compare plans for competitor allowances, then select an app and add a rival listing.
Compare available public titles, descriptions, ratings and screenshots to understand how other apps present similar features. Look at the date of the observation and inspect the actual store listing when something needs confirmation.
A competitor edit does not establish that the change improved their performance. Use it to form a hypothesis for your own listing copy or screenshots, then review your own data.
Metadata tests compare observed keyword ranks across two periods. For native conversion experiments, use the store console and keep manually recorded results with your listing work.
