App Store Connect on iPhone · Privacy label matters
Looking for an
App Sales alternative?
App Sales — Store Reports is a feature-rich iPhone dashboard for App Store Connect with a strong 4.9 average rating across 41 reviews. It does what it advertises well — multi-account API support, country-level breakdowns, daily and monthly charts. The reason indie developers come looking for an alternative is usually one specific thing: App Sales' App Store privacy label declares that the app collects purchases, identifiers, and usage data, and that some of this data is shared with third-party advertising networks. If that posture is acceptable for your use case, stay with App Sales. If you want a dashboard that declares zero data collection — verifiable on the App Store listing — AppMeta Pulse is built for that.
How does AppMeta Pulse compare to App Sales — Store Reports?
App Sales is the better-rated app today and has features AppMeta Pulse currently does not match. The decision rarely turns on those features alone; it usually turns on the App Store privacy label — which is the field on each app's listing that says, in Apple's own categories, what data the app collects and how it is used.
App Sales — Store Reports: Privacy label declares "Data Used to Track You" (purchases, identifiers, usage data), with some of that data shared for third-party advertising, analytics, and app functionality.
Both apps are read-only against App Store Connect. The difference is what each app does with the data after fetching it.
App Sales: Approximately 41 ratings averaging 4.9 — a meaningful, longer-tenured user base.
App Sales wins this dimension today on volume. AppMeta Pulse will catch up over time but does not claim parity here.
App Sales: All of the above plus advertised country-level insights and multi-account API key support. Daily and monthly charts; tiered Pro features.
App Sales: Multi-tier ladder — Starter ($2.99), Growth ($4.99), Scale ($7.99), Enterprise ($12.99), Pro ($39.99).
AppMeta Pulse is cheaper for the simple case and removes the tier-shopping problem. App Sales' ladder may give individual features at a price you prefer.
App Sales: Same model — API key on-device, read-only against ASC. Multi-account API key support is explicitly advertised.
If you manage several App Store Connect accounts under one Apple ID and want to switch between them in-app, App Sales' multi-account UI is the better fit today.
App Sales: iPhone, iPad, Mac (M1+), Apple Vision.
Equivalent platform coverage.
Who should pick AppMeta Pulse vs App Sales?
- You want a privacy label that declares zero data collection — not "anonymous" or "minimal"
- You refuse to use App Store Connect dashboards that share data with third-party advertising networks
- You ship a small portfolio (one to ~20 apps) under a single App Store Connect account and don't need multi-account support
- You prefer one simple price ($0.99/mo or $17.99 lifetime) over a five-tier subscription ladder
- You want Apple's official vocabulary (proceeds, sales, units, trials) in the UI rather than a third-party rebrand
- Country-level revenue and download breakdowns are how you reconcile your accounting
- You manage multiple App Store Connect accounts (consultancy, agency, multiple client teams) and need the multi-account UI
- The privacy label posture is acceptable for your use case
- You weigh the higher rating count (4.9 / 41) as a strong social-proof signal
- You have months of App Sales history you don't want to walk away from
