Sensor Tower is for Hedge Funds. AppFlight is for builders.
Enterprise analytics vs. indie execution
The Philosophy Gap
Sensor Tower
Sensor Tower is the industry standard for Market Intelligence, serving Fortune 500s, Hedge Funds, and investors.
AppFlight
It's built for analyzing global markets, not optimizing a single indie app. You can't even sign up without a sales call.
