# Appfox > Appfox is an AI app intelligence tool for iOS and Android developers, from first-time builders and vibe coders to experienced teams. It turns public App Store and Google Play reviews, rankings, and competitor changes into research briefs and daily findings, with sources attached. Appfox is in private beta; access is by invitation. Tagline: "Your app, explained." Current beta features: research briefs, daily findings, review themes, competitor tracking, and rank tracking. Appfox helps the person responsible for an app understand what to investigate next. Findings cite their sources. RevenueCat, mobile session replay, reply drafts, and API access are planned and unavailable in the current beta. Ask Fox is also planned. There are no announced release dates for these features. Website: https://www.appfox.app. Contact: hello@appfox.app. Appfox is based in Milan, Italy. Pricing is proposed: Free ($0), Indie ($29/month), and Studio ($99/month). Prices and limits are not final, and requesting access does not create a workspace or start a subscription. ## Product - [Product overview](https://www.appfox.app/product): Six product questions, including planned capabilities. Today (what needs attention), Market (competitors and what is changing), Customers (reviews grouped into themes with exact counts), My App (one app across sources), Actions (decisions and whether they helped), Integrations (what Appfox reads, read-only). - [Research an idea](https://www.appfox.app/research): Describe an app idea, confirm a competitor set, and get an AI research brief written from real listings and reviews, including the evidence against the idea and what reviews cannot establish. - [Operate a live app](https://www.appfox.app/live-app): Add an app by store URL and get a daily ranked feed of customer, competitor, release, and rank changes with evidence and a suggested next step. RevenueCat context is planned. Four kinds of empty are kept apart: quiet, not enough data, sync failed, collecting. - [Mobile session replay](https://www.appfox.app/replay): Planned, unavailable in the current beta: a first-party SDK for React Native and Expo on iOS and Android, intended to record privacy-masked snapshots and events and replay completed sessions inside Appfox. - [Integrations](https://www.appfox.app/integrations): Public App Store and Google Play data in the beta. RevenueCat, App Store Connect, Google Play Console, GitHub, product analytics, Linear, and Notion are planned as read-only connections. - [Pricing](https://www.appfox.app/pricing): Proposed plans: Free, Indie $29/month ($24/month billed yearly at $288), Studio $99/month ($79/month billed yearly at $948). Features and limits may change; planned features are not beta entitlements. ## Solutions - [App review monitoring](https://www.appfox.app/solutions/app-review-monitoring): Reviews grouped into themes with exact counts, denominators, trend, and affected versions; every count links to the original review; spikes ranked on Today next to the release they followed. - [App Store competitor tracking](https://www.appfox.app/solutions/app-store-competitor-tracking): Confirm competitors once; listing, price, rating, and release changes kept as append-only history; new entrants discovered and scored. - [App idea validation](https://www.appfox.app/solutions/app-idea-validation): An AI research brief from real listings and reviews, with the evidence against the idea and what reviews cannot establish. - [RevenueCat analytics](https://www.appfox.app/solutions/revenuecat-analytics): Planned: read-only revenue, subscriptions, trials, and paid conversions alongside store evidence. RevenueCat is not available in the current beta, and correlation alone would not establish the cause of a change. - [App Store rank tracking](https://www.appfox.app/solutions/app-store-rank-tracking): Tracked search queries with current and previous rank, movements explained against listing changes and competitors. Read observed ranks separately from provider estimates. ## Compare - [All comparisons](https://www.appfox.app/compare): Honest side-by-side pages written from each vendor's own website, checked 5 October 2026; editorial comparisons, not hands-on benchmarks. - [Appfox vs Appfigures](https://www.appfox.app/compare/appfigures): Appfigures offers analytics, market intelligence, and ASO.
