By framing
What the models said for it
Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.
“Leads in keyword research with the most comprehensive keyword database, real-time difficulty scores, and search volume estimates.” Mistral Small · App store optimization · comparative prompt · first choice
“Prioritize tools like Sensor Tower, data.ai (App Annie), AppTweak, or App Radar, which often suit enterprises with custom pricing” Grok 4.20 · App store optimization · scale prompt · first choice
“The dominant player in mobile market intelligence... depth of market intelligence (Sensor Tower is the clear leader)” DeepSeek V4 Flash · App store optimization · comparative prompt · first choice
“Sensor Tower is best for large publishers and enterprises needing market intelligence and revenue estimates.” Muse Glimmer 30B · App store optimization · scale prompt · first choice
And against it
Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.
“Enterprise pricing (custom, typically $25K+/year), overkill for mid-market needs” Kimi K2 · App store optimization · direct prompt · hard negative
“Overkill and overpriced for a mid-sized B2B company focused on ASO execution.” DeepSeek V4 Flash · App store optimization · paraphrase prompt · hard negative
“high-tier Sensor Tower or MobileAction are incredible resources for massive marketing teams. However, they often lock their most useful keyword tools behind expensive enterprise-level subscriptions” Gemini 3.5 Flash · App store optimization · negative prompt · soft negative
“standard enterprise App Store Optimization (ASO) tools (like Sensor Tower, which can run thousands of dollars a year...) are often out of reach” Gemini 3.5 Flash · App store optimization · budget prompt · soft negative

How it is countedHide how it is counted
Every page sensortower.com exposes, subdomains included. Kind is read from the address and title. The last 90 days, the latest date and the twelve months count pages by when they were published, from the site's feeds, a date in the address, or the page's own publication date, read from up to a hundred of its most recently changed pages; a page that says only when it last changed is counted in its kind but not in when, so the recent counts are a floor, and a kind none of whose pages gives a publication date reads undated. An event counts as online when its address or title says so (webinar, on demand, virtual or online summit); a conference, summit, trade show, expo or roadshow that does not say so is counted as a conference or event, which on a vendor's site is mostly in person.

Claim this page
Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when Sensor Tower's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as Sensor Tower, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.
