What's the same on every plan
The parts that make this trustworthy are not upsells. Every plan, including Free, gets human approval on every listing change and every submission, versioned metadata changes you can roll back in one click, authentication through Apple's official App Store Connect API key rather than your Apple ID password, AES-256-GCM encryption for stored secrets, and per-tenant isolation of your data. There is no tier where AscAuto submits something to Apple without your click.
Credits, and why they exist
Rejections come in three shapes. Metadata problems — wrong screenshots, a description that overclaims, a missing privacy answer — are cheap for us to fix and are included on every plan, free included. Reviewer replies are drafted for you at no cost too. The third kind is a code-level guideline issue, where the fix is a change in your app and the work is an AI reading your repository and opening a pull request. That's expensive to produce, so it's metered: one credit per code fix, with the monthly allowance shown above, and top-up packs when you need more.
The guarantee that matters: if a code fix doesn't resolve the rejection, the credit goes back. You aren't paying for an attempt, you're paying for a fix that worked.

What we don't charge for
No revenue share. No per-build fee that surprises you at the end of the month. No charge for a rejection we failed to fix. And no paywall on the guides — everything we know about getting through review is public, including the submission checklist as a free PDF, whether or not you ever sign up.
FAQ
Is there a free tier?
Yes — one app, three submissions a month, and the full pipeline including rejection handling for metadata fixes and reviewer replies. No credit card to start, and it isn't time-limited.
What is a code-fix credit?
One credit covers one AI-generated code-level fix delivered as a GitHub pull request — the expensive kind of rejection, where the problem is in the app rather than the listing. Metadata fixes and reviewer replies never consume credits. If the fix doesn't resolve the rejection, the credit is returned.
What counts as an app?
One App Store Connect app record — one bundle identifier. Versions, builds and resubmissions of the same app don't count as extra apps, so a release cycle with several rejections stays in one slot.
Do you take a cut of my revenue?
No. Flat subscription plus optional credit packs. AscAuto never takes a percentage of app revenue, never touches your Apple payouts, and has no access to your earnings.
Can I cancel any time?
Yes, from the dashboard. Cancelling stops future charges and your apps stay yours. Note that removing AscAuto doesn't revoke your App Store Connect API key at Apple — revoke it there too if you want access ended everywhere.
