Which one is for you
Pick PR-CY if
- Fits if your sites need rankings in Yandex as well as Google
- Works for quick checks of a domain without making an account
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you need Bing or any engine besides Google and Yandex, as no others are named
- Watch out: the Pro trial needs a bank card and turns into a paid plan after 7 days, with refunds asked within 48 hours
- Tight if you track a lot, as rank checks and tools share one pool, at 0.1 limit per keyword, engine and region
- Pricey if you need the API or a team, as the API starts on Pro at $35 and team access only comes with Agency at $140
- Tight if you stay free, with 1 project, about 100 keyword checks a day and a 10-page audit
Pick Sitechecker if

- Works for agencies with many people, since every plan has unlimited users
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you need keyword or backlink research, which it doesn't list
- Tight if you track keywords in several places, as each engine, location, language or device uses another keyword
- Pricey if you want the app under your own brand, which starts at Premium for $375
- Tight if you're on Basic, with 3 websites, weekly rescans and 12 months of data
- Watch out: refunds cover only the first payment within 48 hours, and a failed payment ends access

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.
