# You ship alone. Keep your ASO on one screen.

> For indie developers, Uptika is an ASO tool you set up with a store link that puts your App Store and Google Play ranks, your rivals' moves and the next fix on one screen every morning.

## What is hard?

- **There is no ASO day**: The same person writes the code, the design, the support replies and the release. Searching ranks one by one on a phone, checking rival listings and keeping notes slips within weeks.
- **Not knowing which keyword to chase**: The stores publish no search volume. The first keyword that comes to mind usually belongs to the big apps, and finding a reachable search by guesswork is slow.
- **Did the change work?**: Without a record of what happened after you changed the title or keyword field, you cannot decide what to keep and what to drop in the next release.

## What helps most

- [Daily ping](https://uptika.app/en/product/daily-ping): Gathers the ranks, charts, reviews and rival listings read overnight on one morning screen, so a few minutes a day tell you what changed.
- [Keyword hunt](https://uptika.app/en/product/keyword-hunt): Brings keywords from store autocomplete and your rivals' top 10, measured for popularity and difficulty from 1 to 100; on every plan.
- [Keyword field builder](https://uptika.app/en/product/keyword-field): Fills the App Store's 100-character field with words not already in your name or subtitle, by popularity and counting bytes; you only copy and paste.
- [Copy workshop](https://uptika.app/en/product/copy-workshop): Draft new metadata before you publish; character limits, keyword coverage and risky phrases show as you type, with a 0–100 draft score.
- [ASO score and AI insights](https://uptika.app/en/product/aso-score): Scores your listing in each storefront from 0 to 100 and writes the biggest weakness as a finding with your own keyword and numbers; the score and first 2 findings are free.
- [Playbook](https://uptika.app/en/product/playbook): Turns keywords near the top 10, unanswered bad reviews and empty fields into one job list every morning, each with its reason and expected effect.

## Your first week

1. **Day 1: drop the link**: Paste your App Store or Google Play link and pick your storefront. The first scan shows the keywords you rank for and the apps around you within minutes; choose the keywords to track from there.
2. **Day 2: first moves**: A rank move needs two readings: the next morning the daily ping shows the first comparison. Find reachable searches in keyword hunt and track a few.
3. **Weekend: rewrite the metadata**: Write a draft in the copy workshop, fill the 100 characters with the keyword field builder and move the text to the store yourself. Over the next days, follow those keywords in the daily ping.

## Which plan fits?

Starter: Free is enough to start with 1 app, 1 storefront and 10 keywords. Once you have a second app or a second country, Starter is $29 a month: 2 apps, 3 storefronts per app, 100 keywords, 5 rivals, alert channels, full history and the playbook. Paid yearly, $290.

## Questions

### Is the free plan enough?

To launch one app in one country, yes: 1 app, 1 storefront, 10 keywords, 1 rival and the last 7 days of history. Alert channels, all findings, AI insights and full history come with Starter.

### Do I need to connect App Store Connect or Play Console?

No. Ranks, rival listings, charts and reviews come from public store data. Connect them and your live keyword field and listing languages are read too; Uptika never writes to the store.

### Do I need to add code or an SDK?

No. Paste the store link; your app is not touched.

### Do I need a card to start?

No. The free plan is forever and needs no card. You only enter a card when you choose a paid plan, and you can cancel any time; when a paid plan ends you are back on Free.
