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 seobase if
- Fits if you want rankings, keyword ideas and a site audit in one account for one site
- Works for a small agency tracking up to 100 sites and 3,000 keywords on Professional
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you have more than one site, as Basic covers one, in one location, with one competitor
- Not for you if you want refunds, as cancelling ends the plan at once with nothing back
- Skip it if you need to pipe rankings into other tools, as there's no API or integration on record
- Too light for more than 3,000 tracked keywords, where the largest listed plan stops
- Watch out: first-year prices are about half, so Basic goes from $9.99 to $19.99 a month after year one
How we grade them
| 2.0GPAMangoolsFair | 2.2GPAseobaseFair | |
|---|---|---|
| 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. | CBasic is $19.99 a month on yearly billing ($24.99 monthly) for 50 keywords on 1 site, about the category's middle for a small allowance. The research, audit and backlink tools come in the same plan, and the first year is $9.99. |
| 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. | CA free plan with no card: 1 website, 3 tracked keywords, 2 keyword searches, 1 site audit and 1 AI request. Fine for a peek at the tools, but 3 keywords won't track anything real. |
| 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. | BDaily desktop and mobile rankings by country, state or city with tags, history and scheduled reports, plus a SERP checker, keyword explorer, site audit and backlink checker. It covers the whole job, though Basic stops at 1 site, 1 location and 1 competitor. |
| 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 rating on record. Five tools in one account means more to find your way around, and you set up the site, keywords and location before the tracker says much. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb plus a browser extension, with Looker Studio the one integration on the listing. No desktop or phone app. | CWeb only, with no desktop or phone app, and the listing shows no integrations or API. One family of devices, with nothing to plug it into. |
| Best for | keyword research for bloggers | rank tracking with basic SEO tools for one site |

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.
