App Radar alternatives in 2026: cheaper options for Google Play developers
App Radar starts at €69/month with no free plan. If you mainly need Google Play keyword rankings, here are the alternatives — including free ones — and when App Radar is still the right choice.
Key takeaways
- App Radar (owned by SplitMetrics since 2023) starts at €69/month for 2 apps and 500 keywords, with a 7-day trial and no free plan.
- It is a strong all-round suite for iOS and Android — but many indie developers only use its rank tracking.
- If you are Google Play-only and need daily ranks, alerts and listing help, a focused tool costs a fraction.
"App Radar alternative" and "App Radar free alternative" are common searches for a simple reason: App Radar is a good product priced for marketing teams. Here is an honest look at when it fits and what to use instead if it doesn't.
What App Radar costs in 2026
- €69/mo
- Essentials: 2 apps, 500 keywords, 1 seat
- €169/mo
- Growth: 10 apps, 1,500 keywords
- €299/mo
- Scale: 15 apps, 3,000 keywords
- 7 days
- free trial, card required — no free plan
Annual billing brings these down somewhat. App Radar was acquired by SplitMetrics in late 2023 and still runs as its own brand, covering both the App Store and Google Play, with review management and AI features on higher tiers.
When App Radar is the right choice
- You publish on both iOS and Android and want one tool for both.
- You need its review-reply automation at scale or its links to SplitMetrics’ paid acquisition products.
- A team shares the account and needs several seats.
Alternatives
- ASODrift — Google Play only. Daily keyword positions in 60+ countries, drift alerts by email, free listing audit, AI listing ideas, review insights with reply drafts, competitor comparison and festival offer planning. Free for 1 app/5 keywords; paid from $12/month (3 apps, 50 keywords).
- AppTweak — a full ASO suite for iOS and Android from $79/month, strong on market intelligence (see our AppTweak alternatives guide).
- Google Play Console + a spreadsheet — free, but you will be checking ranks by hand (about a minute per keyword, per country, per day).
How to choose
Write down the three things you actually open your ASO tool for each week. For most indie Android developers the list is: "did any keyword drop?", "what should I change in my listing?", and "what are competitors doing?". If that is you, you do not need a multi-store enterprise suite.
