Which one is for you

Pick AltText.ai if

  • Fits if your store or blog has hundreds of images with no alt text
  • Works for multilingual sites that need alt text in several languages

Look elsewhere if

  • Tight if you're just looking, as the 25 free credits are one-off and packs cost $3 for 50
  • Pricey if you have lots of images, as 2,000 a month is $59 and 10,000 is $229
  • Watch out: AVIF, HEIC, SVG and TIFF cost 2 credits and need a paid plan, and each extra language is 1 more
  • Watch out: changing plans forfeits that period's unused credits, and used credits are usually not refunded
  • Too light for your whole SEO setup, as it only writes alt text

Pick Booster AI SEO + AEO Optimizer if

  • Fits if you run a Shopify store and want SEO fixes applied across every product
  • Works for stores with big catalogs that are missing alt text

Look elsewhere if

  • Tight if you stay free, as it mostly detects problems; meta templates and fixes need Pro at $39 a month
  • Pricey if you want image compression or Search Console data, which need Premium at $69 a month
  • Watch out: charges come every 30 days through Shopify unless you pay $349 or $619 for the year
  • Skip it if your store isn't on Shopify, as it runs nowhere else

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.
