Competitor prices from their public pricing pages, October 2026. Astro and Appfigures are great tools; AppWatch does one job, cheaply.
Where does the data come from? Public store listings only: Apple's official iTunes Search/Lookup API and charts feed, and the public Google Play listing page. We never need your developer account.
How often do you check? Once a day for every tracked app. Daily-digest plans get yesterday's changes each morning; free accounts get a weekly roundup.
Which countries? US by default. Paste a country-specific link (for example apps.apple.com/gb/... or a Play link with &gl=de) to track that storefront.
Can I stop emails? Every email has a one-click unsubscribe link.
How does billing work? Paid plans start with a 7-day free trial and then renew monthly through Stripe. Change plans, update your card or cancel anytime from "Manage billing" on your dashboard. See our refund policy.
