What you get here and nowhere cheaper
-
sellers.json holder behind each DIRECT account
Who actually holds each developer's ad accounts, read from the networks' sellers.json.
-
App Store trader contact (EU DSA)
The contact the developer published on the App Store: address, phone, email.
-
App Store privacy labels for every app, graded, with change history
Every app's privacy label, graded A–F, with each change dated.
-
Alerts on watched apps: label, developer, new version
An alert the week a watched app changes its label, developer or privacy policy.
Choose privacybench if
- You sell to iOS developers and want to pick them by what's on the App Store: privacy labels, subscriptions and trials, languages, categories.
- You sell ad tech and want each developer's app-ads.txt already read, with the sellers.json holder behind every DIRECT account and the accounts added or removed lately.
- You want to know when something changes: email alerts (webhooks on Business) when a watched app's label, developer, privacy policy or version changes.
