Pricing
appXL is priced per app, not per seat, so the whole team can work in it without the licence cost growing. Starter is $49 per month for a single app and covers audits, keyword research and metadata drafting. Growth is $149 per month for up to five apps and adds rank tracking, custom product pages, review automation and API access. Scale is priced on your portfolio size and adds white-labelling, SSO and a dedicated environment. Annual billing takes two months off every plan, and every plan starts with a free listing audit.

Key takeaways
- Pricing is per app and per month — seats are unlimited on every plan.
- Starter suits one live app; Growth is the plan most teams with a roadmap end up on.
- Annual billing is charged at ten months, so two months are free.
- The free ASO score needs no plan and no signup, so you can judge output before paying.
What you are actually paying for
Most ASO tools charge for access to data and leave the work to you. appXL charges for the work: the research, the drafting, the tracking and the follow-up are what the plan buys, and the data is the input rather than the product.
That is why pricing is per app instead of per seat. The cost of an app store listing does not change when a second designer needs to look at it, so neither does the price.

How this compares to the alternatives
- An ASO agency retainer typically runs $2,000–$8,000 a month, and delivery speed is bounded by their headcount.
- A freelance ASO consultant usually costs $500–$2,500 a month for a fixed number of hours.
- Traditional ASO platforms start around $70–$100 a month per seat, and the work stays with your team.
- An in-house ASO hire is the most expensive option and the slowest to start, but the right call once you have a large portfolio.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a free plan?
There is a free ASO score for any live listing, with no account required. The paid plans start at $49 per month and add ongoing research, drafting and tracking.
Are seats charged separately?
No. Every plan includes unlimited seats — pricing scales with the number of apps you manage, not the size of your team.
What happens if I add more apps than my plan covers?
Extra apps are billed at the same per-app rate as your plan, so adding a sixth app on Growth does not force an upgrade to Scale.
Can I cancel at any time?
Yes. Monthly plans can be cancelled at any point and run until the end of the billing period. Annual plans run to the end of their term.
