The Sprinklr alternative for the app store half of the job

Sprinklr runs social listening, a contact centre and voice AI across 30+ channels, and nothing here replaces that. It can see your App Store and Google Play reviews, but it has no way to answer them. AppFollow closes that gap: replies, tagging rules, Report a Concern and ASO, running the same day, with unlimited seats.

ASO

Why teams switch from analytics to action

Works better

Works better without being harder

AppFollow gives you customer management tools that work faster, better, and across any audience. 

You don't choose between powerful features and ease of use. Smart automation handles routine responses while advanced workflows are a few clicks away.

Why teams switch from analytics to action

AI auto-replies

You can answer the review

Sprinklr surfaces store reviews in its listening feed and stops there. AppFollow replies from the same place, with templates, AI drafts grounded in your help docs, auto-reply rules and an approval queue, and the answer reaches the store without a second login.

Cross-platform reviews

A taxonomy built for app reviews

Sprinklr classifies messages for social care. AppFollow sorts against 30+ categories built around what app users write about, bugs, monetization and feature requests, with rules running every 10 minutes and Report a Concern flagging fraudulent reviews back to the stores.

Smart analytics

Running this week, not next quarter

Sprinklr is an enterprise implementation, with onboarding commonly reported at around four months and no self-serve entry. AppFollow has a free plan you can be using this afternoon, and ASO sits in the same subscription rather than needing a separate tool.

Team workflows

Where Sprinklr stays ahead

Social listening across 30+ channels, a full contact centre with voice AI, and deep CRM, DAM and BI integration. If those are your problems, keep Sprinklr. Plenty of teams run both and let each cover what it was built for. (At per-plan pricing, adding AppFollow does not need its own procurement cycle.)

Built for teams, not just analysts

Customer success needs teamwork. 

AppFollow has automated tagging, bulk reply actions, team performance dashboards, and workflow integrations that help support, product, and marketing teams work together.

FAQ: AppFollow as a Sprinklr alternative

What is the main difference between AppFollow and Sprinklr?

Sprinklr is an enterprise customer experience platform: social listening across 30+ channels, a contact centre, voice AI and deep CRM integration. App store reviews are something it can listen to rather than something it manages. AppFollow does app stores only, with replies, tagging rules, Report a Concern and ASO in one subscription.

Can Sprinklr reply to app store reviews?

It can pull App Store and Google Play reviews into its listening feed, but there is no reply or management layer for them, so responses still happen in the consoles or another tool. That is the gap most app teams hit after buying it for social.

Which is cheaper, AppFollow or Sprinklr?

AppFollow, by a wide margin for this job. Sprinklr prices per seat at roughly $299 a user per month with no free plan and demo-only access. AppFollow starts at $19 for the ASO plan and $179 for Essential, with unlimited users on every tier and a free plan you can start on today.

Can I use either one inside Claude or ChatGPT?

Both do. Sprinklr shipped an MCP beta in July 2026 for Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT and Claude, carrying its customer intelligence data; it is still a beta and the access terms are not published. AppFollow's is generally available on any plan, signs in with Google OAuth, and carries reviews, ratings and ASO data.

How long does each take to set up?

AppFollow runs the same day on a free plan. Sprinklr is an enterprise implementation, with structured onboarding commonly reported at around four months. If the problem is a review queue growing this quarter, that timeline matters as much as the feature list.

Should I run both?

If you already run Sprinklr for social and the contact centre, keep it. Nothing AppFollow does replaces social listening, voice AI or case management. Adding AppFollow alongside covers the app store side that Sprinklr leaves open, and at per-plan pricing it does not need a second procurement cycle.

What is the best Sprinklr alternative?

Depends which half you mean. For app store reviews and ASO, AppFollow. For social listening and publishing at enterprise scale, look at Hootsuite or Sprout Social rather than at us, because AppFollow does not publish social posts or run a contact centre.
