App Store keyword tool: see who ranks for any keyword

Type a keyword, pick the App Store or Google Play and a country. The tool runs that search in the store and shows the 10 apps ranking for it, with each app's star rating, number of ratings, and whether the keyword appears in its name. Results are checked within the last few hours, so repeating a search shows the same snapshot. It's free and needs no account.

It answers the same question — how hard a keyword is to rank for — but shows the evidence instead of a single score: the ten apps you would have to outrank, how many ratings each has, and whether they target the phrase in their name. A keyword where most of the top 10 have tens of thousands of ratings and the exact phrase in their names is hard for a new app; one where the top results are lightly rated or only loosely match is a realistic target.

Yes. Switch the store to Google Play to see the top 10 Google Play results for the keyword, with ratings from GetAppNiche's catalog of 2.5M+ Google Play apps. Google Play results are what most people in that country see, without personal search history.

Each store ranks results with its own system and its own catalog, and many apps are published on only one of them. A keyword can be crowded on one store and open on the other, so check both before you write metadata.

This page is a one-off look at one keyword. Pro tracks up to 500 keywords every day on both stores and shows where your own app ranks: the day's change, the best rank in the last 30 days and a 14-day line, with CSV export and email updates. Pro is $39/month, or $20.75/month billed yearly.

Start with 30 to 50 candidate phrases, keep the ones where the top 10 looks beatable, then narrow to 5 to 15 priority keywords for your metadata. Re-check every 4 to 6 weeks — rankings and competitors move.
