What it does

App Store Optimization (ASO) tool that gives your AI agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, ChatGPT, via MCP server, CLI or REST API) and a web dashboard real App Store and Google Play keyword data: popularity, difficulty and competitor keywords by country. It lets you research keywords, draft the name, subtitle and keyword field in each language, and track rankings daily with alerts. It also includes Ad Spy for competitors' Meta/TikTok ads, AI review insights and draft replies to reviews.

Who it is for

Indie developers and mobile app studios who want more organic downloads by optimizing their store listing, especially those already working with AI agents.

Why it can be replicated

Store data

The core is a pipeline for keyword popularity/difficulty and daily rankings on the App Store and Google Play; it is the expensive and fragile part.

Agentic layer

MCP server + CLI + API on top of the same data: a recent differentiator, replicable with little code once the data exists.

Content-driven distribution

Own case studies (ReelMeal) and build-in-public on X; 'ASO tool' SEO replicable with a blog and free tools.

Ways to differentiate

  1. 1

    Regionalize: non-EN ASO

    Keywords and metadata for ES, PT-BR and LATAM stores with local-currency pricing; niche of Spanish-speaking indie devs.

  2. 2

    Translate

    Interface and SEO content in Spanish/Portuguese; English-language tools dominate search.

  3. 3

    Improve: assisted localization

    Guided flow to localize the listing across N storefronts (the ReelMeal case with 35 storefronts shows it as a lever).

  • Headline = founder's first-person claim: €3,000 → USD 3,352 (EUR/USD 1.1172, ECB Frankfurter 2026-10-30). provenance.originalMrr=3000 (EUR). Basis revenue.
  • Claim media inspected (media/HVitYY5XAAAU88F.jpg): MRR chart with milestones: first payment on Apr 3, €1k on Aug 3, €2k on Sep 23, €3k on Oct 24. No subscription count → customerObservation=null.
  • TrustMRR contrast (not headline): alias slug 'sonar-aso-tool' ≠ id 'sonar' (/startup/sonar 404). Seen 2026-11-01: MRR $4,480, last 30 days $4,767, all-time $17,180, 198 active subscriptions, Stripe, Slovakia, founded Mar 2026. Matches in order of magnitude (≈ above the EUR claim).
  • Pricing observed on trysonar.app: Indie $29/mo (10 apps, 2,500 keywords), Agency $149/mo; annual −17%; API Credits from $10; 7-day trial with card. Landing: 'Trusted by 266 app builders'.
  • Ease 4: ceiling ≤5 due to dependence on store data/scraping and 2 platforms (iOS + Google Play). Potential 7 due to SEO/ASO distribution and replicable MCP, not due to the founder's audience.
  • Regionalize/translate/improve angle: ASO for non-EN stores (ES, PT-BR, LATAM), UI and content in Spanish, local-currency pricing.
  • Soft flags: ASO saturated (crowded); stack suggested except MCP/CLI/API and Stripe.
  • Logo: icon.svg 32×32 rasterized (cairosvg) to 160 px on a white 192×192 background; no apple-touch-icon.
