Build an ASO keyword tracker built by app developers for developers
11/15The Opportunity
Spotted on Reddit · March 21, 2026
App Store Optimization tools are built by marketers, not developers. Devs want raw keyword data, trend alerts, and competitor monitoring without the bloat.
Why these scores?
Demand (pain) scored 3/5 (strong) — how urgently people need a solution.
Willingness to pay scored 4/5 (very high) — evidence people would pay for this.
Market gap scored 3/5 (strong) — how underserved this space is.
Build effort scored 4/5 (very high) — feasibility for a solo builder or small team.
Who's Complaining About This?
“I have spent 6 years developing apps and used various ASO tools along the way. Literally out of frustration, I developed an ASO tool.”
Willingness to Pay
AppFollow charges $69-299/mo, AppTweak $99-$600/mo — validated market. Indie devs underserved by price and complexity. $19-49/mo would undercut significantly.
Score Breakdown
11/15How urgently people need this solved and how willing they are to pay for it. Based on complaint frequency and spending signals across platforms.
How open the market is. A high score means few or no direct competitors, or existing solutions are overpriced and underdeliver.
How quickly a solo developer can ship an MVP. 5 = weekend project with standard tools. 1 = months of infrastructure work.
Existing Solutions
AppFollow ($69-299/mo), AppTweak ($99-600/mo), Sensor Tower (enterprise) — all expensive and overbuilt for indie developers
