An Appfigures alternative
that reads from Apple, not a warehouse.
Appfigures is a capable SaaS dashboard for app sales, subscriptions, and rankings. It also stores your App Store Connect data on its servers. AppMeta Pulse reads from App Store Connect's API directly, on your device, with your own API key, so nothing sits in between.
How does AppMeta Pulse compare to Appfigures?
A SaaS dashboard and a native client cover some of the same ground. This is where they differ.
Where data lives
AppMeta Pulse: On your device, and in your own private iCloud when iCloud Sync is on. Fetched from App Store Connect with your own API key.
Appfigures: Stored in their cloud once you grant access, which allows cross-account analytics and historical caching.

About AppMeta Pulse
Questions
FAQ
What is a good native alternative to Appfigures?
AppMeta Pulse is a native iPhone alternative to Appfigures and similar dashboards. It uses your own App Store Connect API key to read directly from App Store Connect's API, so your sales, downloads, subscriptions, and refunds stay out of any third-party data warehouse.
Does AppMeta Pulse store my App Store Connect data on a server?
Not on ours. AppMeta Pulse fetches data on your device, using your App Store Connect API key stored in this iPhone's Keychain. With iCloud Sync on, the data is also kept in your own private iCloud database on Apple's servers, which we can't access. Lagerland Apps never sees your revenue, downloads, or any business data.
How much does AppMeta Pulse cost compared to Appfigures?
AppMeta Pulse is $0.99 a month, $1.99 a year, or $2.99 once for lifetime access, and covers every app in your account. Both subscriptions start with a 7-day free trial. Appfigures and similar SaaS dashboards typically charge per-app or per-seat at higher tiers.
Does AppMeta Pulse support multiple developer accounts?
Yes. You can add several App Store Connect accounts and switch between them, which helps if you publish under more than one developer team.
