Which one is for you
Pick Haloscan if

- Works for buyers of expired domains who want ones that still rank
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if your market is anywhere but France, as that's all the data covers
- Not for you if you need backlink research, which is still marked coming soon
- Tight if you stay free, with 50 keyword searches a month and no API, competitor analysis or rank tracking
- Watch out: prices are in euros before VAT, and Starter has one user; 2 users means Agency at €149.20 a month yearly
Pick Ubersuggest if
- Fits if you do the SEO for your own small business site and want to spend about $16 a month
- Makes sense if you'd rather pay once than keep a subscription going
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want daily rankings, as tracking and audits run weekly on every plan
- Not for you if you need an API, since outside access is only through MCP and the chat apps
- Tight if you run more than one site on Individual, which has 1 project and 125 tracked keywords
- Watch out: lifetime purchases are final and non-refundable, and the one-time trial covers monthly plans only
- Pricey if you add users, projects, keywords, AI prompts or credits, at $5 a month each; the free plan's limits aren't published

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.
