Instabug alternative: a one-off app review analysis
Instabug, now Luciq, is an SDK you build into your app for bug reports, crashes and in-app feedback, priced on daily active users after a demo. It sees what happens inside your app; public App Store and Google Play reviews, and your competitors' reviews, are a separate question.

When to pick which
- Pick Instabug (Luciq) if you need crash and bug reports with full session context from inside your own app.
- Pick Revunda if you want one clear PDF before a release, a pitch, a client meeting or a roadmap call; if you are checking a competitor you don't own; or if a subscription costs more than the question is worth.
- Use both: Revunda reads reviews only, so it sits next to ASO, analytics or SDK tools rather than replacing them.
What Revunda does not do
- It does not connect to App Store Connect or Play Console.
- It does not post replies for you (replies are written for you to paste).
- It does not track keywords, rankings or ASO.
- It does not estimate downloads or revenue.
- It does not push reviews into Slack, Zendesk or Jira.
What a Revunda report looks like
We publish free reports built the same way for 214 App Store apps (67,350 recent reviews analysed, 46% contained a complaint), for example Tinder, ChatGPT and Duolingo, plus side-by-side app comparisons. Your paid report covers your own app (or the apps you name) in more depth.

Questions
Is there a cheaper alternative to Instabug?
For a one-time review analysis, yes: Revunda's app complaint report is €19 one-off. Instabug: pricing on request. For ongoing work, Instabug does more.
Does Revunda replace Instabug?
No, not for what Instabug is strong at. Revunda only reads public App Store and Google Play reviews and turns them into a report; it has no ASO, analytics, SDK or integrations.
Can I analyse a competitor's app reviews?
Yes. App Store and Google Play reviews are public. The Competitor Pack (€29) compares your app with up to 2 competitors you name.
