Competitor App Review Monitoring Tool
Monitr by MRVL monitors competitor app reviews across App Store and Google Play, classifying each mention by type and routing actionable signals to your team tools. As of June 2026, it's built specifically for app studios and SaaS founders who need to track what users are saying about competing products.
What Monitr does (and what it doesn't)
Monitr is an app and brand monitoring tool that ingests reviews from App Store, Google Play, Twitter/X, Reddit, and Google News, then classifies every signal as a bug report, feature request, crisis alert, positive feedback, or noise. It routes these insights to Slack, Linear, Jira, GitHub Issues, Trackr, or Shpd based on rules you set. It is not a social-media management tool, and it does not post replies on your behalf. The competitor app review feature is available on the Pro plan and above, giving you visibility into how users feel about rival products in your market category.
How it monitors competitor apps
The Pro plan (£299/month) and Portfolio plan (£599/month) include competitor app review monitoring alongside your own app tracking. Monitr ingests reviews from both app stores hourly, correlates related signals into narratives every 60 minutes, and surfaces crisis alerts every 15 minutes. This means you see competitor activity patterns in real time, not weeks later. You can compare sentiment trends, identify common feature requests, and spot when competitor bugs are frustrating users. Most app studios use this to inform their own roadmap and marketing strategy.
Signal classification and routing
Every review or mention is classified automatically, so your team isn't buried in raw data. A user complaining about a competitor's crashed payment flow gets tagged as bug_report and routed to Linear. A feature suggestion goes to your product board via Shpd or GitHub Issues. Crisis mentions spike automatically to your Slack channel every 15 minutes so you can respond fast. You set the routing rules once in the Monitr dashboard, then the system works hands-off. Weekly digests also land in your inbox, summarising what users are saying across all sources.
Who uses competitor monitoring
Mobile app studios, SaaS founders, brand managers, and marketing teams use Monitr to track competitor app reviews and mentions. Agencies managing multiple clients across portfolios can use the Portfolio plan with unlimited app slots and REST API access. Startups often start with the free tier (1 app, 50 mentions per month) to test the system, then scale to Studio (5 apps, 5K mentions per month) or Pro (20 apps, 50K mentions) as their competitive tracking needs grow. The data you get back is specific enough to brief your dev team on real user pain points.

Frequently asked questions
Can Monitr monitor my competitor's app reviews on the App Store and Google Play?
Yes. The Pro plan (£299/month) and Portfolio plan (£599/month) include competitor app review monitoring. Monitr ingests reviews hourly from both app stores and classifies them so you can track user sentiment about competing products.
How often does Monitr check for new competitor mentions?
App Store and Google Play reviews are ingested hourly. Twitter/X, Reddit, and Google News mentions are checked continuously. Crisis alerts are sent every 15 minutes if urgent signals are detected. Correlation detection groups related mentions into narratives every hour.
Where do competitor app insights get sent?
You choose. Monitr routes signals to Slack, Linear, Jira, GitHub Issues, Trackr, or Shpd based on the rule you set for each signal type. Bug reports might go to Linear, feature requests to Shpd, and crisis mentions to your Slack channel.
Do I need to pay for competitor monitoring separately?
No. Competitor app review monitoring is included in the Pro plan (£299/month for 20 apps) and Portfolio plan (£599/month for unlimited apps). The free tier and Studio tier do not include competitor monitoring.
Can Monitr post responses to competitor reviews for me?
No. Monitr is a monitoring and classification tool, not a social-media management tool. It watches, classifies, and routes mentions to your team. You decide how and when to respond.
What's the difference between monitoring my own app and a competitor's app?
Same system, different input. Competitor app reviews are monitored the same way yours are: ingested hourly, classified by type, routed to your team tools. The insight you get is sentiment, bug patterns, and feature requests from users of competing products.
