Socketkit is a free, open-source set of services for mobile application developers and companies who want to understand and grow app revenue. It is released under the MPL-2.0 licence and is positioned as an alternative to tools such as ChartMogul, Sensor Tower, Google Analytics and Mixpanel.
The system is split into workers. A competitor tracking worker stores an app's releases, versions and reviews along with changes to its title, subtitle, description and pricing, which gives insight into how rivals iterate. A subscription worker connects to App Store Connect, analyzes payments, converts currencies, and produces reports such as monthly recurring revenue, average revenue per user and daily revenue. A notification worker sends alerts through providers like email, Discord and Slack.
The services are built with gRPC so that they can be used from any programming language, and the code is written in JavaScript. The subscription tracking is focused on iOS apps, which makes Socketkit most relevant to teams selling subscriptions through the App Store.
