Uprate vs AppFollow
AppFollow watches your reviews and rankings and reports back to a team. Uprate acts on them: a reply drafted minutes after a review lands, a release checked before Apple sees it, a listing change ready to publish, and automatic replies only when you enable them. Pick the one that matches what you want to happen while you build.

If you choose Uprate
This is your Monday.
- A one-star review lands at 3 a.m., in Japanese.By morning the translation is in the thread and, with auto-draft on, a reply in your tone is waiting for one click. With auto-reply on, the five-star thank-yous already went out on their own.
- You press submit on Friday afternoon.Uprate has already checked the build number, the privacy URL, the encryption answer and 26 App Review rules. Blockers show up with the field to fix, before Apple sees them.
- Your subtitle has not changed since launch.The listing agent drafts the new one, shows the diff and the reason, and pushes it to Google Play with one click (Indie and up). App Store copy waits in a draft version for your next release.
