App Store Connect on iPhone · No tracking
Looking for an
App Sales alternative?
App Sales - Store Reports is a capable iPhone dashboard for App Store Connect, with a 4.9 average rating across 41 reviews. Multi-account API support, country-level breakdowns, and daily and monthly charts all work as advertised. Developers who look for an alternative usually do so because of the privacy label, which lists purchases, identifiers, and usage data under Data Used to Track You. If that is acceptable for your use, stay with App Sales. AppMeta Pulse has no ads, tracking, or third-party analytics, keeps your sales history on your iPhone after Apple's one-year window, and lets you answer reviews from the same app.
How does AppMeta Pulse compare to App Sales - Store Reports?
App Sales is the better-rated app today and runs on iPad, which AppMeta Pulse does not. The differences that matter most are what each app does with your data, how long your history lasts, and whether you can answer reviews.
Privacy and tracking
AppMeta Pulse: No ads, no tracking, and no third-party analytics or SDKs. There is no AppMeta Pulse server: requests go from your iPhone to Apple, and exchange rates come from the European Central Bank.
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 read from App Store Connect with your own API key. They differ in what each app does around that data.

Sales history
AppMeta Pulse: App Store Connect serves about a year of daily sales. Pulse keeps every day it fetches on your iPhone until you delete it, and once a full year is stored, Trends compares this year with last year.
App Sales: Daily and monthly charts of the data it fetches from App Store Connect.

Feature coverage

App Sales: Revenue, downloads, IAPs, and subscriptions, with advertised country-level insights and multi-account API key support. Pro features are split across tiers.

About AppMeta Pulse
Questions
FAQ
What is the best alternative to App Sales - Store Reports?
AppMeta Pulse is an App Store Connect app for the same people App Sales serves: indie iOS developers who check revenue, downloads, IAPs, and subscriptions across several apps from an iPhone. The two differ on privacy. App Sales' App Store privacy label lists purchases, identifiers, and usage data as data used to track you. AppMeta Pulse has no ads, no tracking, and no third-party analytics, and requests go from your iPhone straight to Apple. Pulse also keeps your sales history on the iPhone after Apple's one-year window and lets you answer reviews, up to 25 at once.
Does App Sales - Store Reports track me?
According to its App Store privacy label, App Sales - Store Reports collects data used to track you across other apps and websites, including purchases, identifiers, and usage data, and shares some of that data with third-party advertising networks. App Store privacy labels call this "Data Used to Track You." If that is acceptable for your use, App Sales is a capable app with a 4.9 average rating. If you want a dashboard with no advertising tracking at all, AppMeta Pulse is the closest equivalent.
Does App Sales have a higher rating than AppMeta Pulse?
Yes, on volume. App Sales has roughly 41 ratings averaging 4.9, while AppMeta Pulse is a newer release without enough ratings to show an average. More ratings is a real advantage. It mostly reflects how long the app has been on the market and how many users left a rating, and says little about privacy or features.
What does App Sales have that AppMeta Pulse does not?
iPad and Mac versions, a higher rating count thanks to a longer time on the market, and a tiered plan ladder. AppMeta Pulse runs on iPhone only. Country breakdowns and multiple App Store Connect accounts are in both apps: AppMeta Pulse shows each app's top five territories and lets you add and switch between accounts.
Does AppMeta Pulse cost more or less than App Sales?
AppMeta Pulse is $0.99/month or $1.99/year, each starting with a 7-day free trial, or $2.99 once for Lifetime. App Sales has a tiered structure starting at $2.99 and ranging up to $39.99 for the Pro tier. At the entry tier, AppMeta Pulse costs less per month. The lifetime prices don't compare directly, because App Sales sells several tiers and has no single lifetime price.
