Which one is for you
Pick AutoTDK if
- Fits if you look up a competitor's keywords and traffic while you're on their site
- Works for bloggers gathering long-tail ideas from Google, YouTube, Amazon and Pinterest suggestions
Look elsewhere if
- Watch out: the pricing page doesn't say how many credits a plan includes or what a credit buys, and one-time packs show no readable price
- Watch out: every plan is shown as half off a crossed-out price with no end date, and monthly credits expire after a month
- Not for you if you want a way back, as the pricing FAQ says refunds aren't supported
- Tight if you stay free, since the number of free daily credits isn't stated
- Skip it if you're not on Chrome, and note the developer hasn't identified itself as a trader, so EU consumer rights don't apply
Pick SEOquake if
- Fits if you check a rival's traffic and backlink figures while you browse
- Works for reading Semrush figures for every result on a Google search page
Look elsewhere if
- Watch out: the traffic and backlink figures are Semrush estimates, not data from your own analytics
- Skip it if you use Firefox, where the version is 3.9.9 from December 2022 against 4.3.0 on Chrome
- Tight if you won't make a Semrush account, as Authority Score, referring domains and Traffic Analytics need one
- Not for you if you want the interface in a language other than English
How we grade them
| 2.0GPAAutoTDKFair | 3.2GPASEOquakeVery good | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CBasic is $9.99 a month, inside this category's cheaper quarter, with Pro at $29.99 and Premium at $99.99. But the page doesn't say how many credits any plan includes or what a credit buys, so there's nothing to set the price against, and refunds aren't supported. | AFree from Semrush, with no paid tier for the extension. Core reports and the built-in Semrush figures work with no account at all. |
| Free plan and trial | CFree daily credits on the website, and the extension's traffic, Whois and SEO analysis are described as free. The page never says how many credits a day you get, so you can't tell where free use stops. | AFree outright. Authority Score, referring domains and Traffic Analytics need a Semrush account, but a free one is enough. |
| Features | CCompetitor keywords with volume and difficulty, long-tail ideas from Google, YouTube, Bing, Amazon and more, traffic estimates, backlinks, Whois, AI answer checks and AI writing tools. No title, meta or heading checks are on record, and how far credits stretch isn't stated. | BTitle, meta, headings, canonical and indexability with an audit, Semrush figures under every Google result in any country, AI Overview sources, links with follow status and HTTP codes, keyword density and domain comparison. That covers the whole job here. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record. The extension works on the site you open, but the website's tools run on credits through a login, with nothing to say how many a task uses. | BNo rating on record, but nothing to set up: Quick View works on the first page you open, with no account. |
| Platforms and integrations | CA Chrome extension plus the website, which its FAQ says works in any mobile browser. No API or integrations are listed. | CChrome and Firefox, so computers only, and the Firefox version lags far behind. It works on Google Search and draws on Semrush, and nothing else is listed. |
| Best for | a rival's keywords and traffic while you browse | Semrush figures on Google results and pages |

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.
