It pulls your live App Store data — sales, downloads, version releases — and overlays them on a clear timeline. You can add notes, stories, and key events to explain what really happened. No more guessing what caused a spike. No more wondering why growth slowed. From indie devs to small teams, Driven helps you understand your app’s journey — one moment at a time. Here’s what you can do with Driven: - Track real-time sales and revenue across countries - Receive Push Notifications for free trials, conversions and cancellations - Map version releases to performance trends - Add your own stories: launches, bugs, tweets, promos - Review your timeline when things move — and know why Subscription: Driven requires subscription for continuous access.

Driven's advantage is iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
