Why people look for an alternative

Sensor Tower doesn't publish prices.
Many data.ai users only needed keyword ranks for their own apps.

The options

Rankmint

A Mac app that chooses the keywords you can win in each App Store country, writes your name, subtitle and keyword field within Apple's limits with your own AI, saves them to App Store Connect after you review them, and tracks your rank daily. $19 for the first 10 buyers, rising $5 every 10 sales to $89, once. It launches on November 5, 2026, and does no Google Play or market estimates. See a real report

Questions

Does data.ai still exist?

Not as a separate product. Sensor Tower acquired data.ai (formerly App Annie) in 2024, and data.ai's website now says “We've Been Acquired by Sensor Tower”.

What is the App Annie replacement for indie developers?

For keyword ranks and your listing: Rankmint. For market estimates on a small budget: FoxData. For analytics of your own apps: Appfigures.
