A Astro alternative your AI agent can use
Astro is a Mac app for App Store keyword research and rank tracking, popular with indie developers. AppGoat is built differently: app store data for your AI agent and your code, self-serve, with a free plan.
Built for agents and developers, not another dashboard
AppGoat puts App Store and Google Play data where you already work: in Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor through MCP, and in your code through a REST API. Your agent researches keywords, reads reviews and competitors, and proposes changes you approve.
Self-serve
Sign up, connect your agent and get answers in minutes. No sales call.
Pay per request
Most requests cost 1 credit; 250 free credits every month.
Actions, not only reports
Listing updates, review replies and Apple Ads changes as dry runs you approve.
