Feature & Specification Comparison
Tools & Capabilities Breakdown
AppmanAi Tools (35)
app_search
Search a store for apps matching a name or phrase. Returns matching apps with their package ids — the way to resolve a name into a package id for the other tools.
app_similar
List the apps the store itself considers similar to a given app (title, developer, icon). The quickest way to build a competitor set from one seed app.
app_metrics_metadata
Fetch the full store listing for one app (title, developer, ratings, category, metadata) by its package id. If you only have the app name, call app_search first to resolve it.
app_metrics_metadata_batch
Fetch store listings for a list of package ids in one call — the bulk form of app_metrics_metadata. Use it when comparing apps, instead of one call per app.
app_metrics_ratings_worldwide
An app's current rating and per-star vote counts in every country it is listed in. Use it to see where an app is rated well or badly; app_metrics_ratings_history tracks one country over time.
