All features unlocked
Built for indie developers
Everything you need to get discovered.
Real search data
See actual popularity scores pulled directly from Apple's App Store — the same signal Apple uses when you type in the search bar. Not estimates. Not historical crawls.
Competitor intelligence
Look up any app to see its keywords, ratings, and how it compares to yours. Run a gap analysis and find every keyword they rank for that you don't.
AI-powered ASO tools
Extract keywords from real user reviews, get AI keyword suggestions from your app description, and auto-draft your title, subtitle, and keyword field from gap keywords.
Rank tracking
Track how your app ranks for any keyword over time. See whether your ASO changes are working, or catch a drop before it costs you installs.
Global data.
Local opportunities.
Search popularity data across
50+ countries and regions.
Pro features
Go deeper than keyword scores.
Pro unlocks the tools that turn data into a real ASO strategy — competitor intelligence, review insights, and AI-drafted metadata.
Competitor Gap Analysis
Pick your app and a competitor. KeyScout finds every keyword they rank for that you don't — sorted by demand. The fastest way to find overlooked opportunities in your category.
Review Mining
Feed in any app and KeyScout reads the real user reviews, then extracts keywords organised into four insight categories: pain points, feature terms, natural search phrases, and synonyms.
AI Metadata Suggestions
Run a gap analysis, then hit one button. Claude AI drafts your App Store title, subtitle, and keywords field from your top gap keywords — with strict 30/30/100 character limits enforced.
Where the data comes from
KeyScout pulls search popularity directly from Apple's autocomplete API — the same signal Apple uses when you type in the App Store search bar. That means the scores reflect what real users are actually searching for, right now, not a third-party estimate or historical crawl.

Why we built this
App Store keyword research
should not cost $40 a month.
The tools that do it well are built for agencies and big studios with real budgets. Independent developers — people building apps on nights and weekends, solo founders with one good idea — get priced out before they even start.
That felt wrong.
KeyScout was built to close that gap. Not a stripped-down version of something expensive. Not a demo with a paywall after two searches. A real tool, built from scratch, designed for people who are building something genuine and just need honest data to help them find their audience.
The goal was simple: give indie developers the same keyword intelligence the big players use, at a price that does not require a funding round to justify.
If it helps you get discovered, it has done its job.
