- Works for agencies tracking Core Web Vitals for several client websites
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a free plan, as there's only a 14-day trial and the pricing page says no refunds

- Watch out: when the month's tests run out, testing stops until the next cycle, and unused tests don't roll over

- Watch out: hourly Lighthouse checks use 5 times a page's share of your plan's allowance
- Pricey if you pay monthly, as Vital is $99 against $75 billed yearly

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.
