Gyro-n SEO vs Nobilista (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Gyro-n SEO if

• Fits if you report on Google and Yahoo! JAPAN rankings for a Japanese site
• Makes sense if you track a handful of Japanese keywords and want to know whether AI Overviews cite you

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you can't read Japanese, as the pages are in Japanese only and prices are in yen before tax
• Skip it if you need Google positions past 30th place, which it no longer measures
• Tight if you stay on Starter: 10 keywords, 1 site and no CSV export, and changing plan ends the free 3 months
• Pricey if you add Maps or Local Pack tracking, at ¥1,000 a month per store for the MEO option on top of a plan
• Watch out: extra keywords are ¥1,000 a month per 30, and extra sites and competitors ¥1,000 a month each

Pick Nobilista if

• Fits if you report on Google and Yahoo rankings in Japan without leaving a PC on
• Works for a small site tracking up to a few hundred keywords across several countries

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you need daily positions past the top 10 on Google
• Tight if your keyword list shrinks, as paid plans can add keywords but not remove them
• Not for you if you need an API or integrations, as none are on record
• Watch out: new Bing registrations are suspended, and Yahoo and Bing keywords get no volume or traffic estimates
• Watch out: prices are in yen, so the dollar figures are estimates and your card's exchange rate sets the charge

Gyro-n SEO

• Prices are in yen before tax and the pages are in Japanese only; it tracks Google, Google smartphone search and Yahoo! JAPAN.
• Google positions are only measured to 30th place, a cap added after Google limited results per request; Yahoo! JAPAN pages are kept to 100th.
• Local Pack and Maps tracking need the MEO store option at ¥1,000 a month per store, on top of a plan.
• Extra keywords cost ¥1,000 a month per 30, up to 1,000 more for ¥30,000; extra sites and competitors cost ¥1,000 a month each.

Nobilista

• Daily Google checks cover only the top 10; the top 100 is read on the 15th and month-end, or four times a month on the deepest schedule.
• Prices are in yen with tax included; the dollar figures shown are estimates, and the card issuer's exchange rate sets the final charge.
• New Bing registrations are suspended for now, and Yahoo and Bing keywords get no search volume or traffic estimates.
• Once on a paid plan, keywords can be added but not removed, so the trial's keyword count carries over.
