Which one is for you

- Fits if you have many pages with weak titles and meta descriptions
- Works for agencies that want one tool across 10 client sites

- Not for you if you want articles written, because it only edits existing page elements
- Skip it if you cannot add a script to your site header, since the fixes only stay live while it is installed
- Tight if you watch the budget: no free plan or trial, and 2,000 pages crawled a month on the cheapest plan
- Watch out: each website can sit on only one ClickRank account, and the Agency crawl limit is 60,000 pages in one place and 30,000 in another
Pick InLinks if

- Skip it if you can't add its JavaScript to your site, as links and schema then go in by hand
- Pricey if you need the API or unlimited users, which start at $196 a month

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.
