Which one is for you
Pick Page Optimizer Pro if
- Fits if you tune individual pages against what ranks on Google right now
- Works for agencies giving writers access through a secret key, without a login
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you want to try it first, as there's no free plan or trial, only a 7-day refund
- Tight if you're on Basic, as 20 credits is about 10 new reports a month
- Pricey if you run out of credits, with bundles from $15 for 10 up to $800 for 1,000
- Watch out: the API is a $10 a month add-on, costs 2 credits a call and is capped at 100 calls on Unlimited
- Pricey if your team is big, as Teams covers 5 sub-accounts and each extra one is $12 a month
Pick Wordmetrics if
- Fits if you write every word yourself and want term guidance while you draft
- Works for freelancers updating older posts against the pages that now outrank them
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want articles written for you, as it only scores text you write or paste
- Watch out: the week's trial rolls into $30 a month unless you cancel it in time
- Tight if you have a slow month, since unused post credits reset and don't roll over
- Not for you if you work from a phone or tablet, as there's no mobile support
- Watch out: the site still calls it a private beta and only lists monthly billing
How we grade them
| 2.0GPAPage Optimizer ProFair | 2.2GPAWordmetricsFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CBasic is $40 a month, between this category's cheaper quarter ($20) and its middle ($45). Unlimited report runs need Unlimited at $62 a month billed yearly ($72 monthly), and the API is a $10 a month add-on. | CLite is $30 a month for 15 optimized posts, between this category's cheapest quarter ($20) and its middle ($45), so it's ordinary. Pro is $50 for 30. Billing is monthly only, and unused post credits don't roll over. |
| Free plan and trial | FNothing free: no free plan and no free trial. A 7-day refund guarantee is the only safety net, and that is not a trial. | CNo free plan. Lite and Pro start with a week free, and nothing on record says a card is needed, but it rolls into the monthly price unless you cancel within the week. Pro Plus at $75 has no trial at all. |
| Features | BPage reports with exact keyword counts and a target word count, an AI writer and editor, a Chrome extension, an AI visibility tracker, keyword tools, rank tracking, Watchdog, EEAT and schema. The whole job, though most of it runs on credits. | CA semantic index of the terms ranking pages use, a live letter grade as you type, readability checks and re-checking old posts. It does draft scoring fully, but that's a smaller job: it writes nothing, and no keyword research or publishing is on record. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record. Each report wants a page, a keyword and a location, and credits, sub-accounts and secret keys take some learning. | BNo rating on record, but there's nothing to connect: type a target phrase, write or paste a draft, and it grades the text as you go. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb plus a Chrome extension that works in Google Docs, WordPress and Shopify. The API is a $10 a month add-on at 2 credits a call. No desktop or phone app. | CWeb only, with no integrations or API on record. There's no mobile support either: its own help center says it's meant for laptops and desktops. |
| Best for | scoring single pages against the top results | scoring your own drafts against ranking pages |

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.
