RespectASO adds free tracking, localization

RespectASO founder Sine Can said in an X post on May 19 that the app store optimization platform now includes free keyword tracking, rankings and dashboards, while continuing to sell AI-powered automation and localization tools. The post linked to RespectASO product pages that describe keyword research across 30 countries, rank tracking, localization workflows and Pro features for metadata and competitor analysis. RespectASO’s website says the product is built for iOS App Store research and offers both a free open-source edition and a paid Pro tier. ### What exactly became free? RespectASO’s features page says the free product includes keyword research, difficulty scoring and rank tracking across 30 countries. The documentation page says searched keywords are automatically saved to history, can be refreshed individually or in bulk, exported as CSV, and viewed in dashboards built around tracked rankings. The company’s GitHub repository says the free edition is open source and available through Docker, while the macOS app is the main distribution format. The repository description says the free version covers keyword research, difficulty scoring and ranking tracking, and that AI-powered Pro features require the native macOS app. ### What did the founder say about localization? RespectASO’s localization guide says the App Store is “30+ individual markets,” and describes localization as adapting metadata for country-specific language, search behavior and competition. (respectaso.com) The features page separately says the platform supports keyword research across 30 countries. The social post described automated localization to 30 countries and local-first workflows for ASO teams. (github.com) RespectASO’s documentation and guides support that framing by centering country selection, market-by-market keyword research and international opportunity finding in the product workflow. ### Where do the AI agents and competitor tools fit? RespectASO’s Pro page says the paid tier automates keyword research, competitor analysis and metadata optimization with what it calls “agentic AI.” The page says the system validates and refines metadata until it passes App Store rules. (respectaso.com) The AI features documentation says competitor analysis includes an app profile, extracted competitor keywords, recommended differentiation metadata, strategic recommendations and a niche map. (respectaso.com) The same page says those outputs are scored with App Store data such as popularity, difficulty, opportunity and download estimates. ### What is the MCP and local-first piece? RespectASO’s homepage says users can connect Claude Desktop, Cursor and other MCP-compatible assistants to the product for keyword research, competitor analysis and metadata optimization through natural-language prompts. (respectaso.com) A company blog post published April 11 said the MCP integration gives AI assistants access to 19 ASO tools. The MCP documentation says the server works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code and other compatible clients, and states that “no data leaves your machine.” That supports the founder’s description of local-first workflows rather than a browser-only SaaS setup. (respectaso.com) ### What should users watch next on the product pages? RespectASO’s documentation says users can move from tracked keywords to country opportunity analysis, then into AI-powered Pro features. (respectaso.com) The features, localization and AI pages now function as the main public record of what is free, what is paid and how the international workflow is supposed to work.
