SensorTower is buggy and annoying, I much prefer AppAnnie & MobileDevHq. I compared[1] them a while back and ended up concluding that the free tiers of AppAnnie/MobileDevHQ are enough to do some basic ASO.

A nice writeup. As for AppCodes.com, you missed some stuff we offer:

We've got competitor tracking, support for other languages and data export (downloading csv with the search phrases+results). We also support the pre-launch analysis :) There's also an AppStore prediction tool that is quite unique compared to the competition ( http://techcrunch.com/2012/03/12/appcod-es-launches-app-stor... )

I'll look at that again and update it, thanks for the heads up. Maybe these were features you've added later, as I tested all those tools.

Thanks for the tip. Interesting article. I have found that once you get used to SensorTower, it works quite well.

what I mostly need when doing ASO is:

1. Traffic estimation 2. A fast way of researching competition for a specific keyword

SensorTower gives us both and results from updates suggests that there are a connection between their estimations and true life.

How do you experience AppAnnie/MobileDevHQ traffic estimation tools?

We would love to fix the bugs. Would you mind sharing your experience and what you found annoying?
