Who reads it
- Indie iOS developers and small app teams shipping to the App Store.
- ASO practitioners, growth marketers and freelance consultants.
- People arriving mid-task — researching keywords, planning a launch, writing store metadata or preparing a submission.
Current traffic figures — sessions, search impressions, top countries and top pages straight out of Search Console and GA4 — are shared on request, as of September 2026. They are not printed here because a number on a page goes stale quietly and a buyer deserves the live one.
Rates
Starting prices. Every deal is quoted individually, flat fee, and renewals run at a discount. Formats marked in build are not selling yet; they are listed so you know what is coming and can get in early.

Annual report sponsorship
on request
Title sponsorship of an original data report built on this site's own dataset — rank history, cross-storefront pricing, localization coverage and metadata change tracking.
Every paid link is marked rel="sponsored"
This is Google's published requirement for any link that has been paid for, and it protects both sides — a domain that sells dofollow links risks a manual action, and so does the site buying them.
It is not negotiable at any price. If a dofollow link is the requirement, this is not the right site, and saying so now saves us both an email.
What is not for sale
Stated up front, because the value of a placement here depends entirely on the editorial around it being worth trusting.
Dofollow paid links
Every paid link carries rel="sponsored". This is Google's published requirement for links that have been paid for, and it does not change at any price.
Editorial rankings
Position in a comparison, directory or list is decided by the stated criteria and is identical for advertisers and non-advertisers. Sponsor placements sit separately and are labelled as sponsored.
Reader or subscriber data
A sponsor buys a placement in front of the audience. The audience list itself is never sold, shared or rented.
Undisclosed placements
Every paid item is labelled on the page it appears on, not in a footer. Anything that would read as an editorial recommendation without disclosure is declined.
Reviews of products we have not used
Anything published here about a tool is checked first. If it cannot be verified it is not written, whoever is paying.
How it works
Email with what you are promoting and which format looks right. A link to your product is enough to start.
We agree the placement, the price and the page it lands on. Nothing is published before you have seen it.
It ships, labelled and disclosed, and you get the live URL.
Appstro is built and run by one developer. There is no media agency behind it, no rate negotiated through a network, and no inventory sold that has not been built yet.
If what you want is not on this page, say so anyway — the list above is what has been thought through, not the limit of what is possible. See also the advertising disclosure.
