Which one is for you
Pick Authoritas if
- Fits if you track rankings across many countries, devices and cities
- Works for one small site that can live on 1,000 rank credits a month
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you just need a few hundred keywords tracked, at $129 a month for 1 user
- Tight if you track one keyword in many places, as each place uses another credit
- Skip it if AI answer tracking is the point, since that's a separate product from $119 a month
- Watch out: the Platform API, BigQuery and Looker Studio templates are Enterprise only, at an unpublished price
- Watch out: the free account goes if you don't log in every 30 days, and going past your credits means upgrading
Pick Sistrix if
- Fits if you report SEO progress with one number per domain
- Works for you if you want years of history on how a competitor's visibility moved
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you're one person, as Start is €99 a month on a yearly contract with 3 months of history
- Tight if more people need logins, since Start has one user and can't add more; extra users from Plus are €24.90
- Not for you if you need invoices in dollars, which only come with Enterprise
- Tight if you need the API, as Start has none, Plus has Visibility Index data only, and full access starts at €349
- Watch out: AI Check and prompt tracking are free only during the beta and may be priced separately later

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.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
