Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you're staying free, as the bulk checker gets 10 credits, one per keyword
- Watch out: monthly credits don't roll over, and KW Explorer costs 2 credits a search inside the app
- Skip it if you need daily rankings, as the SERP Tracker checks weekly and only comes with a monthly plan
- Pricey if you want tracking, as the cheapest subscription is $49 a month and there's no yearly plan
- Watch out: Twylu, the internal linking crawler shown on the site, runs on a separate platform with its own account

- Skip it if AI answer tracking is the point, as the SEO plan leaves it out and Starter is $165.17 a month
- Watch out: the API and share of voice need the custom-priced Advanced plan, and scheduled PDF reports are $10 to $20 a month extra
- Watch out: local, content, social and ad tools are separate toolkits with their own prices, and the free plan allows 10 reports a day

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.
