All in One SEO (AIOSEO) vs Site Kit by Google (2026): which should you pick?

Pick All in One SEO (AIOSEO) if

• Fits if you run a WordPress site and want redirects and schema on the lowest paid plan
• Works for agencies covering many client sites, with up to 100 on Elite

Look elsewhere if

• Watch out: the prices shown are first-year rates and renewals are about double, so Basic goes from $49.50 to $99
• Tight if you stay on Lite, as redirects, local SEO and link suggestions all need a paid plan
• Pricey if you want local SEO, the Link Assistant or rank tracking: Plus is $199, Pro $399 and Elite $599 a year
• Skip it if you want AI writing in the editor, which needs a separate SEOBoost subscription
• Not for you if your site isn't on self-hosted WordPress, as there's no standalone app

Pick Site Kit by Google if

• Fits if you want Search Console and Analytics figures without leaving WordPress
• Works for agencies setting up Google tools for clients and emailing them stats

Look elsewhere if

• Too light for SEO on its own, as it edits no titles, meta descriptions, schema or sitemaps
• Watch out: each admin who wants full access has to connect their own Google account
• Tight if your site is new, as data can take a few days to appear
• Skip it if your site isn't live and public on WordPress 5.2 or later with the REST API available
