Alli AI vs WordLift (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 WordLift if

• Fits if you want an outside SEO team to build and run your structured data
• Works for publishers on WordPress who want entities tagged as posts are written

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you're one person or a small business, at $879 a month even on yearly billing
• Not for you if you want to try it first, as there's no free trial and buying starts with a discovery call
• Watch out: Smart Credits expire each month, or each year on yearly billing, and extra ones come through your account manager
• Tight if your site has more than 2,500 URLs, which moves you to a custom Enterprise quote
• Skip it if you need the full open API, which comes only with Enterprise

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.

WordLift

• The cheapest published plan is Business+ at $879 a month billed yearly, bought after a discovery session; no free trial is offered on the pricing page.
• AI features use Smart Credits that expire at the end of each month, or each year on yearly billing; extra credits are bought from your account manager.
• Business+ covers 2,500 URLs; larger or more complex sites are quoted as Enterprise.
• The open API in full comes with Enterprise; the Resolve API is a separate beta product.
