| Data limitations | Coverage and store rankings vary by app, country, and time, and scraping or scheduled jobs can be delayed, incomplete, or temporarily unavailable. | Apple may delay or omit analytics data, and historical reports can contain gaps; Aurora says it labels historical data and does not invent missing values. |
| Integrations | The opened official pages describe Apple App Store and Google Play data sources but name no third-party integrations. | Aurora connects to App Store Connect and receives purchase, renewal, and cancellation events through App Store Server Notifications. |
| Purpose | ASOTrendHQ organizes public Apple App Store and Google Play data into keyword, ranking, category, and competitor research tools. | Aurora is a native Mac ASO tool for tracking rankings, finding keyword opportunities, watching competitors, and connecting App Store performance with revenue. |
| Support | The site provides a Contact page for questions, corrections and takedown requests. | Support is offered by email for bugs, setup questions, and account help; users are asked to include their macOS version, Aurora version, and the feature involved. |

In their own words
ASOTrendHQ
ASOTrendHQ organizes public Apple App Store and Google Play information into tools for keyword, ranking, category, and competitor research. Users can investigate iOS and Android keywords from available United States search observations, filtering by phrase, observed rank, or modeled difficulty. Keyword shortlists can be saved in a browser and exported as CSV with supporting evidence. Competitor analysis compares collected keyword footprints to identify terms for further investigation. Historical ranking movement is displayed from collected data, with a recommendation to validate it against store-console results. Popularity, difficulty, search volume, traffic potential, and opportunity scores are model estimates from public store data, not official Apple or Google metrics. Records show their own refresh timestamps, while collection schedules differ. Coverage and rankings vary by app, country, and time; jobs may be delayed, incomplete, or temporarily unavailable. The service is free during active development, every feature is currently free, and no credit card is required. It is an independent project unaffiliated with Apple or Google.
