Uprate vs App Radar
App Radar is the ASO tool that touches your listing: a store listing editor that pushes metadata live to both stores, keyword data in 100 and more countries, and AI replies with a monthly quota. Uprate writes the copy and the replies itself, checks the release before Apple sees it, and starts free with one app.

How we checked
The App Radar column comes from App Radar's public pages linked above, read on the verification date: the pricing page for plans, limits and the feature matrix, and the ASO automation, reviews, keyword and AI pages for features. Their pages mention both a 7-day and a 14-day trial; we quote the pricing page. The Uprate column comes from the product as it ships today. If something on the App Radar side has changed or reads unfairly, email [email protected] and we will correct it.

- You build with Expo or upload your own builds and want the submission handled, with your click as the only gate.
- You want reviews, releases, listings and pricing in one place, starting free with one app.
Choose App Radar if
- You update metadata for many apps and localizations at once and want a bulk editor that pushes to both stores.

- You run Apple Ads through SplitMetrics and want the ASO side next to it.

If you choose Uprate
This is your Friday.
- Two apps, four languages, one Friday.The listing check names the weak field in each language, drafts the copy, shows the diff with 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.
- The reviews came in while you were shipping.With auto-draft on, every new review has a reply waiting in the reviewer's language, drafted from your past replies. You approve or edit them; with auto-reply on, the five-star thank-yous already went out on their own.
- You press submit at five.Before you press submit, Uprate has checked version, build number, bundle ID, encryption, age rating, category, privacy URL, screenshots and 26 App Review rules. If Apple rejects it, the reason arrives in plain English with a resubmit button.
