What you'd pay elsewhere
One payment for 3 months or a year, no subscription. Typical ASO tools bill you every month and renew every year whether you use them or not. RespectASO Pro is one payment, and you buy again only when you choose.

Frequently asked questions
Is the free version really free?
Yes, 100%. The free version includes keyword research, difficulty scoring, competitor tracking, opportunity finder, and more. It's open-source (AGPL-3.0) and always will be. No accounts, no trial periods, and the same scoring Pro users get. Pro adds the AI tools and bulk research of up to 1,000 keywords per search.
Is this a subscription?
No. It is one payment for 3 months or 12 months of Pro features and updates. Your card is charged once. Nothing renews by itself.
What happens when my Pro license expires?
You keep the version you have, and every free feature keeps working. The Pro features stop working, and you don't lose any data. To keep Pro, buy a new licence from this page with the same email: the new period starts when your licence ends, or today if it has already expired.
Do I need API keys for the free version?
No. The free version uses public Apple APIs, so no keys are needed. The Pro AI features use an LLM API key (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, OpenRouter, or any OpenAI-compatible service as a custom endpoint) that you provide yourself, or you can choose Local AI and run a model on your own Mac with no API key at all.
Can I run the AI features without paying for cloud usage?
Yes. With Local AI, you point RespectASO Pro at a model running on your own Mac (via Ollama or LM Studio). The AI workflows then run on-device with no per-query cost and no API key, so you can run as many analyses as you like, and your prompts never leave your machine. These analyses involve demanding processing, so speed depends on your Mac's hardware, and larger models produce the most robust, relevant suggestions. See the Local AI setup guide.
Can I get a refund?
All sales are final, except where the law of your own country says otherwise. The terms explain what applies to you.
How does Pro pricing compare to other ASO tools?
Most ASO tools are monthly subscriptions that keep charging year after year, renew by default, and bake cloud and AI costs into the price. RespectASO Pro is one payment for 3 months or a year, and nothing renews by itself. AI features use a Bring Your Own Key model, so you pay your provider directly with no platform markup, or run Local AI on your own Mac at no per-query cost. And because the app runs entirely on your machine, you are not paying for anyone's cloud infrastructure.
Does RespectASO work on Windows or Linux?
Pro features require the native macOS app (macOS 12+, Apple Silicon). A free Docker version with core features (keyword research, difficulty scoring, ranking tracking) is available for Linux and Windows users. See the GitHub repository for setup instructions. AI-powered Pro features are not available via Docker.
What is MCP and do I need it?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) lets AI assistants like Claude Desktop and Cursor connect directly to RespectASO's tools. Instead of using the app GUI, you can do keyword research, competitor analysis, and metadata optimization through natural conversation with your AI. It's completely optional: the full desktop app works without it. The MCP server is part of RespectASO Pro and includes all 32 ASO tools.
