Quick verdict
Komori is a purpose-built iOS ASO toolkit. AI-powered keyword research, unlimited rank tracking, competitor analysis, and review analytics across 90+ countries — all in a native Mac app at $19.99/month.
AppFigures is an app analytics dashboard. It surfaces download and revenue data from App Store Connect in a custom interface — data Apple already makes available to every developer for free. Keyword monitoring was added later and sits well behind what a dedicated ASO tool provides.
If your goal is growing organic downloads through keyword strategy and competitor intelligence, Komori is the tool built for exactly that.
What is AppFigures?
AppFigures has been around since 2009, making it one of the oldest tools in the indie developer space. Its core product is an analytics dashboard: download counts, revenue reporting, and ratings monitoring — pulled from App Store Connect and Google Play and displayed in a unified view.
It's worth being direct about what that means: Apple already provides this data for free through App Store Connect Analytics. AppFigures aggregates it into a cleaner interface, adds cross-platform consolidation, and saves you the time of logging into Apple's dashboard. That's the product.
Keyword monitoring was added to AppFigures later as the ASO space grew. It was built onto an analytics foundation, not designed from the ground up for search optimization — and that shows in the depth of what it can do.
Where AppFigures falls short for ASO
- No AI keyword research. No difficulty scoring, no popularity-ranked suggestions, no AI-powered recommendations. Keyword selection is manual and surface-level.
- No competitor keyword intelligence. You can't see keyword overlap, identify what competitors rank for that you don't, or find ranking gaps to target.
- Basic keyword monitoring, not research. AppFigures shows you where you rank for keywords you already know about. It won't help you find the right keywords in the first place.
- No review sentiment analysis. Ratings monitoring shows you your star average. It doesn't tell you what users in France are complaining about, or which feature is driving 1-star reviews in Japan.
- Web-based with no native Mac experience. Another tab, more loading, no offline access.
What is Komori?
Komori is a native macOS ASO toolkit built from the ground up for iOS developers. Every feature targets the same outcome: growing organic downloads on the App Store through better keyword strategy, smarter metadata, and deeper competitor intelligence.

What makes Komori different

- Side-by-side competitor analysis with keyword overlap detection and ranking gap identification — so you know exactly where you have an opportunity to outrank rivals.

- Native macOS app. Fast, offline-capable, and purpose-built for the way iOS developers work.

Pricing in Context
AppFigures starts at $7.99/month. That sounds affordable — until you consider what you're paying for. Apple already provides download counts, revenue reporting, and ratings data through App Store Connect Analytics, at no cost. AppFigures puts that same data into a custom dashboard. It's a convenience layer on top of information you already have.
Komori is $19.99/month for a fundamentally different category of tool: one that gives you data Apple doesn't provide at all. AI keyword research across 45M+ keywords, competitor ranking gaps, storefront-level rank tracking, and review sentiment across 90+ countries — none of that exists in App Store Connect, at any price.
The $12/month difference is the gap between a nicer view of data you already have, and the intelligence you actually need to grow.
The ASO Gap: Why Analytics Don't Move Your Rankings
Knowing how many downloads you got last month doesn't help you get more next month. That's the core limitation of analytics-first tools when it comes to organic growth.
Growing organic downloads requires answering different questions: Which keywords should I be targeting that I'm not? Where am I losing ranking ground to a competitor? What are users in Germany saying about my app that's hurting my local rating? Which storefront am I invisible in that I could rank in with a metadata change?
AppFigures doesn't answer those questions. Komori is built entirely around them — with AI-powered research, competitor keyword mapping, and country-level review intelligence that tells you exactly what to fix and where.
Who Komori Is Built For
- iOS developers who want to grow organic downloads through better keyword strategy — not just track the ones they already rank for
- Indie developers and small studios who need enterprise-grade ASO intelligence without the enterprise price or sales process
- Developers scaling beyond their first app who need side-by-side competitor analysis and keyword gap detection to find where to grow
- Anyone monitoring their global reputation — review sentiment in 90+ countries, not just a star average
- Developers who want a native Mac app that loads instantly and doesn't live in a browser tab
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Komori and AppFigures?
Komori is a dedicated iOS ASO toolkit — keyword research, rank tracking, competitor analysis, and review analytics. AppFigures is primarily an analytics dashboard that aggregates download and revenue data from App Store Connect — data Apple already provides to every developer for free. They're fundamentally different tools solving different problems.
Is AppFigures good for ASO?
No — not for serious ASO work. AppFigures tracks keywords you already know about, but it has no AI keyword research, no competitor overlap analysis, and no review sentiment scoring. If your goal is growing organic downloads through keyword strategy, you need a tool built for that purpose.
Can Komori replace AppFigures?
For ASO — yes, completely, and with far more depth. For download and revenue reporting, Apple already provides that data free through App Store Connect Analytics. AppFigures puts a nicer interface on top of data you already have access to. Komori gives you what no free tool provides: the keyword intelligence, rank tracking, and competitor analysis that actually grow your organic installs.
Does AppFigures have AI keyword research?
No. AppFigures has no AI keyword suggestions, difficulty scoring, or popularity-ranked recommendations. Komori includes full AI keyword research with popularity scores, difficulty ratings, and competitor breakdowns across 45M+ keywords — included at the base price of $19.99/month.
Which tool is better for an indie iOS developer?
Komori. It was built specifically for indie iOS developers — AI keyword research, unlimited rank tracking, competitor analysis, and review analytics across 90+ countries at $19.99/month with a 4.9-star Mac App Store rating. Your download and revenue data is already in App Store Connect for free. What you don't have yet is the intelligence to grow those numbers — that's what Komori provides.
The Verdict
AppFigures solves a narrow problem: it makes download and revenue data slightly more convenient to view. But Apple gives you that data already, for free, in App Store Connect. If you need to grow organic installs — better keywords, smarter metadata, outranking competitors — an analytics dashboard doesn't move the needle.
Komori is built entirely for the problem that actually matters: how do you get more organic downloads? AI-powered keyword research, unlimited rank tracking, competitor gap analysis, and review intelligence across 90+ countries — all in a native Mac app at $19.99/month.
