Choose App Radar if

You edit listings for both Apple and Google, in many languages at once.
You want reviews, an API and team seats in the same tool.
You'd rather work in the browser than on a Mac.

Choose Rankmint if

You want the words chosen for you: keywords per country and a name, subtitle and keyword field within Apple's limits.
You'd rather pay once: Rankmint's highest price is less than two months of Essentials.
You only ship on the App Store.

The honest gap

App Radar's bulk editor across both stores is stronger than Rankmint's App Store-only writing. Rankmint's edge is deciding what to write: it suggests each field per language from the keywords you can win, then checks the result against Apple's rules.
