DomDetailer vs SEO API (2026): which should you pick?

Pick DomDetailer if

• Fits if you screen expired or auction domains in bulk by authority metrics
• Works for occasional users who don't want Moz and Majestic subscriptions

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you want to try before you buy, as there's no trial and no refund once credits are used
• Skip it if you need rank tracking, site audits or keyword research, as it sells data only
• Tight if you run big jobs, with up to 20 concurrent threads and an error once credits run out
• Watch out: checkout and accounts run on pbl-soft.com, the operator's site, not domdetailer.com

Pick SEO API if

• Fits if you need to check whether a visitor really is Googlebot or an AI crawler
• Works for technical SEOs who want a quick URL parser or HTTP status checker

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you want rankings, keywords or SERP data: it does not provide them
• Watch out: no rate limits, uptime commitment or terms were stated on the pages we read
• Skip it if you need a company behind it: it is run by an individual consultant
• Too light for a team that needs support, as no support channel is listed

DomDetailer

• It sells data only: there is no rank tracker, site auditor or keyword tool, and it does not replace the Moz Pro or Majestic interfaces.
• There is no free trial, and purchases are non-refundable once credits are delivered or used.
• Each account runs up to 20 concurrent threads; requests stop with an error when credits run out.
• Checkout and accounts run on pbl-soft.com, the operator's site, rather than on domdetailer.com.

SEO API

• It is a set of free reference lists and small tools, not a keyword, ranking or SERP data service.
• The pages read do not state rate limits, an uptime commitment or terms of use.
• It is run by an individual technical SEO consultant, not a company with a pricing page.
