Which one is for you
Pick Mangools if

Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you need daily rankings, as they update weekly below the Agency plan at $97.70

- Pricey if you pay monthly, at $61 for Basic against $37.70 billed yearly, with refunds only within 48 hours

- Tight if you track lots of rankings, as Bronze covers 200 keywords and Silver 1,000
- Watch out: you can't export anything during the $10 trial month
- Watch out: the keyword API is a separate product at $60 a month for 500 calls, then $0.05 a call

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.
