Rankmint vs Keyword Tool

By Gajendra Singh Rathore, who makes Rankmint · checked November 3, 2026

Keyword Tool (keywordtool.io) suggests keywords from the App Store's autocomplete, and from Google, YouTube, Amazon and 13 more platforms. It researches keywords but doesn't track where your app ranks. Rankmint is a Mac app built only for the App Store: keywords, your listing and daily ranks. Keyword Tool's facts come from its own website.

The honest gap

Keyword Tool's free autocomplete ideas are a fine start. Ideas aren't a listing, though: Rankmint checks whether you can win each keyword, writes the fields within Apple's limits and then tracks whether the change worked.
