Alli AI vs SearchPilot (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Alli AI if

• Fits if you're an agency making on-page changes across client sites on different CMSs
• Makes sense if your site runs on a JavaScript framework that AI crawlers can't read

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you run one site, at $249 a month billed annually for the entry plan
• Watch out: changes live in Alli's snippet or plugin, not in your site's own code
• Tight if you outgrow Business, with 5 sites, 500 keywords and 1,250 pages before add-ons
• Skip it if you need the API or white-label hosting, which start on Agency at $499 a month

Pick SearchPilot if

• Fits if you run a large site with many similar pages and steady search traffic
• Makes sense if you need test results with confidence figures before a change goes sitewide

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you're anything short of an enterprise, as Core alone starts at $37,500 a year
• Not for you if you sell online and want Core, which is for non-transactional sites; Commerce is priced on request
• Skip it if your site is small, as tests need sections with many similar pages and steady traffic
• Not for you if you want to try it before a sales call, as there's no trial or self-serve sign-up
• Watch out: a dedicated consultant comes only with the CoPilot or AutoPilot service levels

Alli AI

• There is no free plan; every plan starts with the 10-day trial.
• Business covers 5 sites, 500 keywords and 1,250 pages; extra sites start at $32.50 a month and 100 more keywords at $20.83 on annual billing.
• API access and white-label snippet hosting start at Agency; a fully white-labeled dashboard needs Enterprise.
• Changes are delivered through Alli's snippet, plugin or tag manager tag, not written into the site's own code.

SearchPilot

• Core starts at $37,500 a year and is for non-transactional sites only; Commerce and Enterprise prices are given on request.
• Tests need site sections with many similar pages and steady traffic, so it does not suit small sites.
• There is no free trial or self-serve sign-up; buying starts with a form and a sales call.
• Standard support covers onboarding, training and email help; a dedicated consultant comes only with the CoPilot or AutoPilot service levels.
