Pi Datametrics vs Sistrix (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Pi Datametrics if

• Fits if you track rankings for a big brand across many markets
• Works for analysts who pipe search data into their own BI tools, from Package B

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you need site audits or backlink research, which aren't on record
• Tight if you're on Package A, with 1 site, 1 market, 1 dashboard and 1 admin user
• Not for you if you want a price before sitting through a demo, or a free plan or trial
• Watch out: the API and Rapid Tracking start at Package B, and Pi Sync and Looker Studio setup at C
• Watch out: time with Pi's analysts is rationed in Expert Units, and consulting is sold separately

Pick Sistrix if

• Fits if you report SEO progress with one number per domain
• Works for you if you want years of history on how a competitor's visibility moved

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you're one person, as Start is €99 a month on a yearly contract with 3 months of history
• Tight if more people need logins, since Start has one user and can't add more; extra users from Plus are €24.90
• Not for you if you need invoices in dollars, which only come with Enterprise
• Tight if you need the API, as Start has none, Plus has Visibility Index data only, and full access starts at €349
• Watch out: AI Check and prompt tracking are free only during the beta and may be priced separately later
