What: Triages reviews, drafts replies in the reviewer's language, tags bugs and feature asks.
Price: $79–149 per app a month.
Why: Unanswered reviews hurt ratings, and the API makes it fully automatic.
First step: Build the sample generator: 25 real unanswered reviews per target, replies ready.
What: Keyword and metadata proposals per locale, plus metadata and release notes in 10–30 locales.
Price: Inside the studio tier, not sold alone.
Why: Your CLI was built to replace a $59–299 suite. AppTweak's ASO Agent gives insight; you do the work.
First step: Add "5 missing keywords in your top 3 locales" to every sample.
What: All workflows across a studio's apps, plus the weekly digest and rating-drop watch.
Price: $600–1,200/mo. 10–15 studios make $10k.
Why: High enough to keep churn near SaaS norms. The only buyer here who may want a call.
First step: Shortlist publishers with 5–50 apps, 1k+ ratings and a low reply rate.
What: Ad variants for user acquisition from your AI video-ads pipeline.
Price: +$1,000–1,500/mo.
Why: Lifts revenue per studio, and your paid video-ads project is the proof. Needs your eye at first.
First step: Offer only to studios already on the studio tier.
What: Weekly competitor ad teardown plus 5–10 ready statics and short videos; the merchant keeps or kills each.
Price: $149–499/mo plus metered generation. 25–60 shops make $10k.
Why: 47.5/65, second in commerce. Shopify bills and keeps 0% of your first $1M (Shopify). Crowding and payouts to your FOP are unchecked.
First step: Build on your BettterAI app skeleton only if this desk's test fails.
