Ranksy vs SaaS Insights

Ranksy vs SaaS Insights: revenue numbers, or revenue by keyword?

Ranksy vs SaaS Insights for Shopify app developers: Partner API revenue, revenue by App Store keyword, rank tracking, customers, MCP access and pricing compared.

Competitor details checked on 5 min read

The Ranksy vs SaaS Insights choice comes down to one question: do you need to know which App Store keyword brought your paying merchants? SaaS Insights fits if you want Partner Dashboard revenue numbers, alerts and custom reports for many apps at a low flat price. It costs $49 a month for unlimited apps and is free until you earn $2.5K a month. Ranksy fits if you want each install followed to its trial, its subscription and the keyword or source behind it, with daily rankings on the same chart.

Both read revenue, installs, trials and churn from the Shopify Partner API, so the headline numbers match. They differ in what that revenue gets joined to. If you are weighing more than these two, the SaaS Insights alternatives page compares the other options.

Revenue by keyword Installs, trials and MRR by App Store keyword and traffic source, from your listing's GA4 export in BigQuery. No. Shows App Store page views, installs and top referrers next to revenue, but doesn't tie revenue to keywords.
Rank tracking Daily keyword and category rankings, unlimited keywords per app. Organic and sponsored positions shown separately. Keyword ranks for your apps and competitors.
Customer records One record per store install: plan, revenue, a 0–100 health score, notes, tags, tasks and the source that brought it. Not listed as a per-merchant CRM.
Ads App Store ads module (ROAS, organic vs paid, wasted spend) and Meta CAPI attribution. Not listed.
Alerts and reports Email alerts for rank moves, subscriptions, trials and uninstalls. The last three can also post to Slack or Google Chat. Slack and email alerts, plus a Data Explorer for custom reports.
AI/MCP access MCP server and REST API on every plan: 5,000 calls a month on Starter, 25,000 on Studio. No MCP server listed.
Pricing Starter $39/mo (3 apps), Studio $89/mo (10 apps), at any revenue level. $49/mo or $490/yr for unlimited apps on one Partner account. Free until you earn $2.5K a month.
Free trial 7 days, no credit card, with Studio's app and API limits. 14 days, no payment details.

Where SaaS Insights is the stronger choice

SaaS Insights covers every app on one Partner account for $49 a month. If you run more than ten apps and mostly need revenue numbers, it costs less than Ranksy Studio and you never hit an app limit. It is also free until your apps earn $2.5K a month, and Ranksy has no free plan.

Its revenue reporting is broad: ARPU, usage charges, cancellation reasons and a Data Explorer for building your own reports. If your question is "how is revenue moving" rather than "where did it come from", SaaS Insights answers it well and cheaply.

Revenue by keyword: the main difference

SaaS Insights shows how many people viewed and installed your listing and which referrers sent them, and separately how much revenue you earn. It doesn't connect the two.

Ranksy reads your listing's GA4 export in BigQuery and follows each install to its trial and its paying subscription. You see that a keyword brought 40 installs, 12 trials and $230 of MRR, while another brought 90 installs and nothing that paid. That is the number you need when choosing which keywords to put in your listing, or which ones to bid on in App Store ads.

Pricing: by app count, or flat for unlimited apps

  • Under $2.5K a month: SaaS Insights is free. Ranksy is $39 for up to three apps.
  • One to three apps above $2.5K: SaaS Insights is $49. Ranksy Starter is $39.
  • Four to ten apps: SaaS Insights is $49. Ranksy Studio is $89.
  • More than ten apps: SaaS Insights stays at $49. Ranksy doesn't publish a plan above ten apps.

Neither tool raises its price as your revenue grows.

Customers and AI access

Ranksy keeps a record for every store that installs your app, with its plan, revenue, health score, notes and tasks, and rules that open a follow-up when a trial ends or health drops. It also includes an MCP server and a REST API on every plan, so Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor can answer questions such as "which keyword brought the most paying merchants last month" from your own data. SaaS Insights doesn't list either.

Switching from SaaS Insights to Ranksy

  5. Keep SaaS Insights running during the trial and compare the numbers.

What carries over: revenue, installs, trials and subscriptions come from the Partner API, so that history rebuilds in Ranksy. Keyword rank history and SaaS Insights' own reports don't transfer.
