BoostYourApp vs Sensor Tower
Sensor Tower is built for enterprise analysts. BoostYourApp is built for app builders.
Why builders switch from Sensor Tower
Sensor Tower is the industry standard for enterprise app market intelligence - download estimates, ad intelligence, SDK data. It's a powerful analytics platform for large publishers and investors. But at $25K+/year with an enterprise sales process, it's not built for developers who ship apps. BoostYourApp is an ASO Decision Engine for builders: add your app, get specific recommendations for your title, subtitle, and keywords within minutes. Real App Store data, real actions to take, starting at $0.
Sensor Tower starts at ~$25K/year with annual contracts. BoostYourApp Starter is $19/mo ($228/year). Pro is $49/mo ($588/year) - with no annual commitment required.

Frequently asked questions
Is BoostYourApp a full replacement for Sensor Tower?
For ASO decisions - what to change in your metadata to rank higher - yes. Sensor Tower also offers ad intelligence, SDK data, and market sizing that we don't. But if your goal is to improve your app's organic rankings, BoostYourApp gives you specific actions at 1/50th of the cost. We're honest about the difference: they're a market intelligence platform, we're a Decision Engine.
Do you have download and revenue estimates?
No, and we’re upfront about that. Sensor Tower excels at market-level estimates for investors and analysts. We focus on what indie developers actually need: real keyword rankings, competitor intelligence, and AI-powered metadata recommendations that tell you exactly what to change.
Can large teams use BoostYourApp?
Yes. Our Business plan ($149/mo) supports up to 30 apps, 15 team members, and 1,000 keywords. Many teams switch from Sensor Tower when they realize they only use the ASO module - and BoostYourApp does that part better with actionable recommendations, not just dashboards.
