The real value of free tools
Free ASO tools are great for:
- quick checks (rank snapshots, basic keyword ideas)
- lightweight competitive scans
- troubleshooting listing issues
They’re less good at:
- consistent market-wide benchmarks
- reliable volume/traffic estimates
- workflow + reporting at scale
Practical takeaways
- Use free tools to answer specific questions, not to run an ongoing program.
- Treat any “volume” numbers as directional, then validate with your own performance data.
- If you’re short on budget, invest in a repeatable cadence (metadata + creative) first—tools won’t fix a lack of iteration.
Why it matters
The teams that win with ASO aren’t the ones with the most dashboards—they’re the ones who:
- test regularly
- measure conversion properly
- learn faster than competitors
