App Store & Google Play Listing Gap Report

Buyable first run

Use this Actor when mobile growth, indie app, and ASO teams need to decide which app listing metadata and positioning gaps to fix before spending on paid acquisition. It is positioned as a report, not a raw scraper.

• Entry report: $9 / listing_snapshot_checklist. $9 gives one target listing checklist with score, warnings, and next actions.
• Premium report: $29 / competitor_listing_gap_report. $29 compares the target against competitors and adds gap-backed rewrite suggestions.
• Public price surface is entry and premium only. High-tier/watch events are held until real paid proof exists.
• Safety cap: maxChargeUsd is the hard budget limit.
• Why it is worth paying for: A 20 minute ASO triage report that replaces the first manual competitor-listing pass.

This Actor does not promise rankings, revenue, conversion lifts, or sales outcomes. It returns source-backed summaries, warnings, and prioritized actions.

Next report-style Actors

If you already have data from this Actor, these follow-on Actors turn public or user-provided inputs into decision-ready reports. They are optional, capped by maxChargeUsd, and do not make business outcome claims.

• App Release Review Regression Report - turn public App Store and Google Play review signals into release regression and QA action reports.

Create an action-ready listing improvement report from public App Store and Google Play metadata. This actor compares one target app against competitor listings and highlights metadata coverage, seed-keyword presence, positioning gaps, and prioritized listing edits.

First-run quality and billing cue

Start with demoMode or dryRun when you only want to inspect the output shape. For paid runs, use the entry report first, set maxChargeUsd as a hard cap, and move to premium only when you need comparison, recommendations, or a decision-ready action list. Pricing is controlled by the Apify Store listing, and maxChargeUsd should match the tier the buyer expects to run.

Store Quickstart

Start with one target app and 3-10 competitor app listings. You can use App Store URLs, numeric App Store IDs, Google Play URLs, or Android package names.

What It Does

For each run, the actor:

1. Fetches public App Store metadata via the iTunes Lookup API or public Google Play listing metadata.
2. Scores listing metadata coverage across title, description, category, icon, screenshots, rating, release notes/version, and pricing.
3. Checks buyer-provided seed keywords in listing metadata only.
4. Compares the target app against valid competitors.
5. Emits a prioritized action list and rewrite suggestions.

This is a report actor, not a keyword-rank scraper. It does not scrape rankings, autocomplete, Apple Search Ads, App Store Connect, login-only dashboards, or paid ASO data.
