Pick 1of10 if

- Tight if you're staying free, with 60 credits and only 5 results in outlier and thumbnail search
- Pricey if you need MCP, the API or team seats, which start at Pro for $69 a month on yearly billing
- Skip it if you want keyword research or rank checks, as the listing shows neither
- Watch out: Ultra is sold yearly only at $4,999, and refunds only cover the first 7 days
Pick OutlierKit if

Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you research daily, as Hobby's 100 credits go fast and top-ups are $19 per 100

- Not for you if you want a free plan, as there's only a one-time grant of 30 credits
- Skip it if your niche is small, new or kids' content, which gives thin results
- Watch out: paying monthly costs about double, $49 against $24.92 a month for Hobby on yearly billing

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
