AppStorePulse vs Luseri
AppStorePulse is one of the two tools Mantle's wind-down FAQ points to for App Store data. It combines revenue, keyword tracking and competitor monitoring. Luseri overlaps on revenue and App Store data, and goes further on retention and on what merchants do after installing. Here is the detail, as described on their sites on November 1, 2026.

Where AppStorePulse is stronger
- Keyword research: volume tiers, difficulty scores and suggestions from competitors' keywords.
- Competitor monitoring: alerts on price, badge, visuals, listing text and more, and detection of removed reviews.
- Revenue alerts by email, Slack or webhook on its paid plans.
- A REST API next to its MCP endpoint, to reach the data from your own scripts as well as from AI assistants.
- AI analysis of your listing text and keyword positioning, in a free 100-point audit.
- Merchant emails with revenue credited to each one, and segments built from billing data.
- A free plan, and plans for up to ten apps.
Where Luseri differs
- Retention is read by install cohort, next to the reasons merchants give when they uninstall.
- Cash collected is shown apart from MRR, in the currency Shopify pays you.
- Listing traffic from Google Analytics is a regular part of the dashboard, with searches by country and language.
- Optional in-app tracking adds a health score for each store, and an email alert warns you when uninstalls rise sharply.
- An AI assistant answers questions across revenue, retention and the listing, from your own numbers.
- A read-only MCP server opens your numbers to your own AI assistant (Claude, Cursor, VS Code or another) with a personal token; AppStorePulse keeps its MCP endpoint for the Pro plan.
Which one to choose
Choose AppStorePulse if keyword research and competitor alerts are your priority, or if you need an API. Choose Luseri if you want to understand who stays, who leaves and why, from the install to the uninstall.
