Which one is for you
Pick Mangools if
- Fits if you're a blogger who mostly needs keyword ideas and difficulty scores
- Works for local keyword research down to city level
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you need daily rankings, as they update weekly below the Agency plan at $97.70
- Not for you if you want technical site audits, which none of the five tools does
- Tight if you research in bursts, since lookups are capped per 24 hours, 100 on Basic
- Pricey if you pay monthly, at $61 for Basic against $37.70 billed yearly, with refunds only within 48 hours
- Too light for teams on Basic, which has no extra seats; sub-users on higher plans share one set of limits
Pick SEO Review Tools if
- Fits if you run one-off checks and want no subscription
- Works for developers who want SEO data through an API
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want one dashboard that tracks rankings over time, as the free tools are separate checkers
- Pricey if you want the API, at $75 a month for 7,500 credits
- Not for you if you want a point-and-click suite, since the paid product is metered credits
- Watch out: annual API billing is one yearly payment of $720, $1,680 or $4,320
- Watch out: the Chrome extension is the only browser extension named
How we grade them
| 2.0GPAMangoolsFair | 2.6GPASEO Review ToolsGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CBasic is $37.70 a month on yearly billing ($61 monthly), exactly this category's middle. That buys 100 keyword lookups a day, 200 tracked keywords and 500 AI prompts. Paying monthly costs a lot more, and refunds only run for 48 hours. | BThe 84 web tools are free. The paid API starts at $60 a month on annual billing ($720 up front) or $75 monthly, which is dearer quarter territory in a category whose middle is $40. |
| Free plan and trial | CA free plan with no card: 5 keyword lookups every 24 hours, each showing 15 related keywords. Enough to see how it works, not enough to do research. There's no trial of the paid plans. | BThe web tools are free to use, and the API has a 15-day trial with 500 credits. One person checking a site now and then could live on the free tools. |
| Features | CKeyword research down to city level, SERP checks, rank tracking, backlinks from Majestic's index, domain metrics and AI answer tracking on every plan. The gaps: rankings update weekly except on Agency, and none of the five tools audits your site. | CMany individual checkers, an AI visibility tool and a content editor. No single project dashboard exists for ongoing tracking, so it is a toolbox rather than a suite. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record. The tools are pitched at bloggers, but daily lookup caps and setting up rank tracking take some getting used to. | CNo store rating is on record. Free tools take a URL or keyword and return a result, but the API needs developer setup. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb plus a browser extension, with Looker Studio the one integration on the listing. No desktop or phone app. | BWeb, a Chrome extension, an API, an MCP server, Google Sheets and Postman. |
| Best for | keyword research for bloggers | free one-off SEO checkers |

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.
