One question. One brief.
From a search phrase to a release decision.
Keysignal keeps the observation, competitive field, and recommendation in one readable chain. You can audit the call without learning another analytics suite.

Act
Leave with one defensible next move.
Target now, test in metadata, keep exploring, or stop when the evidence is insufficient. The reasoning stays visible.
Decision · rationale · next action
A wider field of view
The keyword is only the start.
Move from a customer problem to the apps serving it, the evidence around them, and the next listing decision worth testing.
Each workspace has its own job. Store observations, model guidance, and unavailable evidence remain visibly distinct.
Topic explorer
Start with the customer problem, not an app name.
Describe what the product should help someone do. Keysignal searches App Store and Google Play listing evidence, groups recurring language, and returns supported matches.

Transparent by design
Useful signals, without invented precision.
Apple and Google do not publish exact search volumes through these store endpoints. Keysignal therefore presents relative signals for comparison—not a fictional monthly-search count.
Source status and checked time stay attached to each observation. If a source cannot be verified, the value remains unavailable.
App Store signalsGoogle Play signals
01 · Demand signal
Ordered store suggestions
When a keyword is observed in autocomplete, Keysignal converts its relative position into a 1–5 directional demand signal.
02 · Competition signal
Search-result density
When store search succeeds, returned-result counts become a Low, Medium, or High competition heuristic.
03 · Confidence
Evidence completeness
Confidence describes which required sources were observed. A failed or limited source stays unavailable instead of becoming a zero.
04 · Decision
A prioritized next move
When both inputs are available, demand and competition combine into a prioritization score and next-step recommendation.
Opportunity scores help prioritize research. They are not a guarantee of ranking or downloads; relevance and listing quality still matter.

Built by a small product lab
ASO research should help you decide, not make you learn another analytics suite.
Keysignal is built for independent developers and small teams who need honest signals, a focused workflow, and a price that makes sense before the app takes off.
