Compare the tools that now track Shopify App Store keyword rankings, categories and reviews, and what each one costs. By [Bryan Medica](#author), Founding Engineer at Meridian · Updated 6 November 2026 SASI, the Shopify App Store Index, shut down with Mantle in 2026, and its ranking history went with it. Four tools now sell App Store rank tracking on its own: App Store Pulse, Letsmetrix, AppJubilee and Rankbase. Meridian takes another route and tracks keyword rankings, category positions and reviews next to your app’s billing, CRM and hosting. **Pick by need.** Free for 1 app and 3 keywords: Letsmetrix or App Store Pulse. 20 keywords per app for $19 a month: Letsmetrix Pro. Every page of results for the keywords it crawls: AppJubilee, from $29 a month. The search queries that bring merchants to your listing: the free GA4 tracking Shopify offers. Rankings in the same place as your billing and CRM, with each review on the profile of the store that left it: Meridian. ### SASI, from Union Works to Mantle’s shutdown Union Works built SASI as a free website that tracked where Shopify apps ranked in App Store categories and in search, along with their ratings and review counts, and emailed a daily digest of those positions. Mantle bought it in May 2024 and added a SASI report to its own product, but that report tracked up to 10 search terms at a time, and only on English-language listings. SASI closed with the rest of Mantle in 2026. It still worked in mid-July, and by early November its address returned only an error. For App Store data, Mantle pointed its users to App Store Pulse and Fusion Metrics, but only App Store Pulse tracks rankings: Fusion Metrics is a revenue analytics tool (MRR, churn, reviews and GA4 attribution). If you also relied on Mantle for billing, the CRM or email, [Mantle alternatives, job by job](https://www.the-meridian.ai/blog/mantle-alternatives) covers each of them. ### Which tools track App Store rankings now? Each row below comes from the tool’s own pages, as they read on 4 November 2026. | Tool | What it tracks | Price, as listed | | --- | --- | --- | | App Store Pulse | Daily keyword rankings, competitors, listing analytics, and MRR and churn from your Partner account | Free, Starter $49/month, Pro $99/month | | Letsmetrix | Daily keyword positions, category and collection positions, listing changes, deleted reviews, and revenue from your Partner account | Free, Pro $19/month, Studio $49/month | | AppJubilee | Daily rankings across every page of results for the roughly 1,200 keywords it crawls, competitor and listing change alerts, reviews | From $29/month, with a 14-day trial | | Rankbase | Daily keyword positions by locale, install clicks per keyword from your GA4 data, listing changes, community forum mentions | $49/month for 5 apps, $99/month for 20 | | Shopify App Store Rank Tracker | A keyword's result pages over time, by locale | Free, according to its author | | Meridian | Daily keyword rankings in the top 120, category leaderboards, the ranking and review history of every listing, reviews on CRM profiles | From $69/month per app, with hosting, billing and the CRM | ### Keywords, depth and history compared | Tool | Free plan or trial | Paid plans, as listed | | --- | --- | --- | | Letsmetrix | Free: 1 app, 3 keywords, 14 days of history | Pro $19/month: 3 apps, 20 keywords per app, 90 days. Studio $49/month: 10 apps, 100 keywords per app, 365 days | | App Store Pulse | Free: 1 app, 3 keywords, 14 days of history | Starter $49/month: 3 apps, 20 keywords per app, 90 days. Pro $99/month: 10 apps, 100 keywords per app, 1 year | | AppJubilee | 14-day free trial | Starter $29/month: 1 app. Growth $99: 3 apps. Pro $199: 8 apps. Unlimited keywords per app from its crawl list, history from 90 days to unlimited | | Rankbase | 14-day free trial | Growth $49/month: 5 apps. Business $99/month: 20 apps. Keywords per plan not stated | | Meridian | 14-day free trial on Lite, no card | Lite $69/month per app: 3 tracked keywords, category rankings and reviews | The tools also read results to different depths. SASI stopped at the first two pages for each keyword, while AppJubilee records positions across all pages and crawls its keywords once a day. Meridian keeps the top 120 results, five pages of 24, for each keyword you add. Letsmetrix and App Store Pulse don’t state a depth on their pages. History is the other difference. Since SASI’s is gone, a new tool can only show you the past from its own records. Letsmetrix and AppJubilee say they backfill a new account from their daily crawls, whereas App Store Pulse starts a keyword’s history on the day you add it. In Meridian, it depends on what you look at: Market Intel already holds the daily category history of every app, but a keyword’s chart starts on the day you track it. ### What can you get for free? Shopify doesn’t track your rank, but it can tell you how merchants found your listing. Once you add a GA4 measurement ID to the listing in the Partner Dashboard, each visit from App Store search reaches GA4 with the merchant’s search query, the results page and your position on it. If you run App Store ads, their reports add the ad’s average position and the search terms that showed it. Beyond search, installs and uninstalls show in the Dev Dashboard, and Shopify emails you each new review. For actual rankings at no cost, there are the free plans in the table above and one more option: the Shopify App Store Rank Tracker, which its author, Beckett Oliphant, shared in [a post](https://community.shopify.dev/t/app-store-rank-tracker/29601) on the Shopify developer community. The post calls it free, although the tool’s page states no price. ### Rank tracking inside Meridian Link your listing in the app’s settings and you get: - Keyword rankings, checked once a day against the top 120 organic results, with the change over a day and a week and the full leaderboard for each term. Ads show beside the results but never count as a position. - Category leaderboards saved every day and browsable by date, and the apps that entered or left page one of a category. - Market Intel, an index of every published listing re-crawled daily: any app’s ranking history, listing changes and full review history, including reviews later removed from the store. - Each review on the CRM profile of the store that left it, next to that store’s plan and revenue, when Meridian can match the store. These App Store tools are part of every Meridian plan and work wherever your app is hosted. Plans start at $69 a month per app on Lite, with a 14-day free trial, no card needed. Lite tracks 3 keywords per app and also includes hosting, Plan Builder, the CRM and email. ### When another tool is the better pick A dedicated tracker serves you better in these cases: - You only want rank tracking: the tools above sell it on its own, and Meridian has no plan for tracking alone. - You want more keywords for less: Letsmetrix Pro covers 20 per app for $19 a month, and Meridian’s Lite tracks 3. - You want rank changes sent to you: Letsmetrix emails a daily keyword digest on every plan, App Store Pulse on its paid plans, and AppJubilee sends email alerts. Meridian shows rankings in the dashboard. - You need past positions for keywords you haven’t tracked yet: in Meridian a keyword’s chart starts when you add it.

SASI, the Shopify App Store Index, shut down with Mantle. Mantle pointed its users to Fusion Metrics and App Store Pulse, and Letsmetrix and AppJubilee also track keyword rankings. Meridian tracks rankings and reviews next to billing and the CRM, for any public app, wherever it is hosted. #### Is there a free SASI alternative? Yes, for one app. Letsmetrix and App Store Pulse each track 1 app and 3 keywords for free, with 14 days of history. Shopify also passes the search query and your position for each App Store visit to your own GA4, at no cost. Paid trackers start at $19 a month for Letsmetrix Pro and $29 for AppJubilee. #### Does Shopify show my App Store keyword rankings? Not as a ranking over time. With a GA4 measurement ID on your listing, Shopify passes the search query, results page and position of each visit that came from App Store search, and its ad reports show a paid ad's average position. Keywords that brought no visit, and your category rank, need a rank tracker. #### Can I bring my SASI history to another tool? No. Mantle shut SASI down with its other products and announced the destruction of their data, so there is nothing left to export. Tools that crawl the App Store every day hold their own record of past positions, and some, such as Letsmetrix and AppJubilee, say they backfill it into a new account. #### Do I need to host my app on Meridian to use its App Store tools? No. The App Store tools work for any public app with a linked listing, wherever it is hosted. ### Keep reading. More from the Meridian team.
