How we grade them
| 2.2GPABotifyFair | 1.6GPASilktideWeak | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CNo price is published. The pricing link goes to a demo request form, so the cost only comes out on a sales call. Professional services and consulting are sold separately on top. | CNo price is published: Silktide quotes by scope after contact, so there's nothing to set against the category's middle of $19. |
| Free plan and trial | FNothing free on record. There's no free plan or self-serve trial on the site, only a demo request. | FNothing free on the pricing page and no trial listed, so access starts with a quote. |
| Features | ACrawls millions of pages with Googlebot's rendering engine and 1,000+ indicators, reads logs daily for bots such as GPTBot and ClaudeBot, and measures share of voice in AI answers. PageWorkers then changes tags and redirects on thousands of URLs and split-tests them, which Lumar, Oncrawl and JetOctopus don't list. | CGovernance testing, content and link checks, AI visibility, analytics and a task workflow. The pricing page lists three plans without saying what each includes beyond SSO and SOC 2 on Complete. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record. It's an enterprise platform with crawls, log feeds and Search Console data to connect, and LogAnalyzer won't work until you hand over raw server or CDN logs. | CNo store rating on record. A platform for organizations, set up through its team. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb only. It pulls in Search Console, and its MCP server lets ChatGPT and Claude query your crawl, log and Search Console data. The listed integrations stop there. | CWeb only, and the listing names no integrations. |
| Best for | crawl, log and AI bot data on huge sites | website governance and AI visibility for large sites |

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.
