Best App Store analytics tools for Mac (2026)

If you build apps on a Mac like I do, there are a few ways to keep track of your App Store sales, subscriptions, and reviews, from Apple’s own dashboard to native Mac apps to full analytics platforms. Here is how I see the main options, and where each one fits. I make one of them, so take that for what it is worth, but I have tried to be fair about it.

What to look for

  • Native Mac app vs. web: do you want a desktop window or a browser dashboard?
  • Data ownership and history: App Store Connect only keeps detailed reports for a year, so a permanent local archive matters.
  • Reviews: downloading, translating, and filtering reviews across countries.
  • Subscriptions: MRR, trials, and churn, without adding an SDK to your app.
  • Rankings: tracking your keyword search positions and category chart rank over time.
  • Scope: a focused tracker for your own apps vs. a broad ASO and market-intelligence platform.

1. App Store Connect (Apple)

Apple’s own dashboard is the baseline and is included with the Apple Developer Program. Its Analytics were expanded significantly in 2026 with over 100 metrics, native MRR and churn, cohorts, peer benchmarks, and an API. The trade-offs: it is web based, and detailed sales reports are only retained for one year before they age out. Best for: recent trends and official benchmarks. See our AppWage vs. App Store Connect comparison.

2. AppWage

A native macOS app that downloads your App Store Connect sales, proceeds, subscription, and review data and keeps a permanent local history on your Mac. It adds customizable charts, lets you download, translate, and filter reviews across territories, and tracks your keyword search rankings and category chart positions over time. No SDK is required. Best for: developers who want a fast native Mac app and a history that never expires. Available on Setapp.

3. Itsyconnect

Another native Mac app, broader in scope: it aims to replace the App Store Connect web UI entirely, including metadata editing, TestFlight, and release management alongside analytics. Best for: developers who want a full desktop front-end for App Store Connect, not just analytics.

4. Appfigures

A long-running web analytics and App Store Optimization (ASO) platform covering both the App Store and Google Play, with keyword tracking, competitor intelligence, and reporting. It is a paid product with tiered plans. Best for: teams that need cross-store ASO and market intelligence beyond their own numbers. If you mainly want your own numbers in a native Mac app, see AppWage as an Appfigures alternative.

5. Appbot and AppFollow

Review- and ratings-focused platforms that aggregate feedback across the App Store, Google Play, and other stores, with sentiment analysis and reply workflows. Best for: larger teams whose main need is managing reviews at scale across many apps and stores.

How to choose

If you want official, real-time trends and benchmarks, start with App Store Connect. If you want a native Mac app with a permanent local archive of your sales and reviews, look at AppWage or Itsyconnect. If your focus is cross-store ASO and competitive intelligence, a platform like Appfigures fits better, and for review management at scale, Appbot or AppFollow. Many developers pair Apple’s dashboard with one native Mac app for day-to-day use.
