Does Appleak have Peekly’s paywall and onboarding library?

Not as a library. An Appleak teardown shows an app’s paywall screens and pricing, one app at a time. There is no collection of onboarding flows to browse. If that is your main need, Peekly is the better tool for it.

Does Appleak have an ads library like Peekly’s?

Appleak has Ad Search. Search a niche and it shows the ads its apps are running, for how many days, and reads out the hook and the angle of each. Peekly’s library also reports EU reach.

Which is better for finding an app idea?

Peekly is good for browsing what already earns. Appleak is good for testing an idea: ask why users quit the apps in a category and read the complaints, counted and quoted.

Can I switch from Peekly to Appleak?
