App Store & Google Play Listing Gap Report

Works best after

App Store & Google Play Listing Gap Report is easiest to buy after one of these related Actors has already produced public rows or source context:

• Apple App Store Intelligence - use its public rows or source context as the starting input.
• Google Play Intelligence - use its public rows or source context as the starting input.

Start with $9 / listing_snapshot_checklist; upgrade to $29 / competitor_listing_gap_report only when the first report needs deeper action detail. Internal links improve discovery only. Qualified forecast still requires accounted paid usage.

Proof-focused buyer summary

Built for mobile growth, indie app, and ASO teams who need to decide which app listing metadata and positioning gaps to fix before spending on paid acquisition.

• Buy this when: A 20 minute ASO triage report that replaces the first manual competitor-listing pass.
• Entry: $9 / listing_snapshot_checklist - $9 gives one target listing checklist with score, warnings, and next actions.
• Premium: $29 / competitor_listing_gap_report - $29 compares the target against competitors and adds gap-backed rewrite suggestions.
• Output promise: decision summary, score, three prioritized actions, source URLs, warnings, chargedEvent, chargedUsd, and previewReport.nextRunInput.
• Safety: keep maxChargeUsd equal to the tier price. Demo, dry run, blocked/private sources, failed sources, and cap-limited runs are no-charge.
• Not promised: rankings, revenue, conversion lift, sales lift, legal/procurement/financial advice, or private-source enrichment.

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.

{
  "targetApp": "https://apps.apple.com/us/app/duolingo-language-lessons/id570060128",
  "competitorApps": [
    "https://apps.apple.com/us/app/babbel-language-learning/id829587759",
    "https://apps.apple.com/us/app/busuu-language-learning/id379968583",

  "seedKeywords": ["language learning", "spanish", "vocabulary"],
  "reportTier": "entry",
  "maxChargeUsd": 9,
  "dryRun": false
}

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.

Pricing Events

For recurring checks, save a successful listing report input as an Apify task and keep maxChargeUsd aligned with the selected tier.

Each dataset row includes:

• status, chargedEvent, chargedUsd, and reason
• listingScore and metadataCoverageScore
• keywordCoverage
• competitorGaps
• actionList
• rewriteSuggestions
• sourceUrls, confidence, errors, and recoveryHint
