Redirect Mapper vs Redirection.io (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Redirect Mapper if

• Fits if you moved a site and have a pile of old URLs that now 404
• Works for a small site that fits in 1,000 redirects a month

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if your site can't run a custom script on the 404 page, as that is how it works
• Tight if you stay free: 1,000 redirects a month and 1 project
• Too light for a full technical SEO audit, as it only handles redirects
• Watch out: paid plans show a free trial button with no length stated, and the terms say paid fees are non-refundable
• Pricey if you need unlimited redirects, which sit on an Enterprise plan with no published price

Pick Redirection.io if

• Fits if your marketing team keeps waiting on developers to add redirects
• Works for sites mid-migration that need to see which old URLs still return 404s

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you stay free, at 10 rules, 1 day of logs and 10,000 log lines a day
• Pricey if you need support, segments or rule compliance tests, which start at €150 a month on Pro
• Watch out: the crawler runs on credits bought separately, €22 for 50,000 pages
• Not for you if nobody can install its agent, server module or edge integration and a hosted instance won't do
• Watch out: prices are in euros before VAT, each plan covers one project, and Starter has no setup help

Redirect Mapper

• It works through a JavaScript snippet on the 404 page, so the site must be able to run custom scripts.
• Paid plans show a free trial button, but the page does not state how long the trial lasts.
• Unlimited redirects are sold through an Enterprise plan with no published price.
• The terms say paid fees are non-refundable except as required by law.

Redirection.io

• Prices are in euros and exclude VAT, and each plan covers one project.
• Starter stops at 1,000 rules with no setup help; segments, advanced triggers, compliance tests and support need Pro, from €150 a month.
• The crawler runs on credits bought separately: 50,000 pages cost €22 as a one-off pack.
• Without a hosted managed instance it needs an agent, a web server module or an edge integration; Starter allows 5 managed instances and 100 GB of traffic a month.

Redirect Mapper

Automatic 404 matching

Compares a broken URL with a crawled index of live pages using slug tokens, path types and keyword overlap, then redirects to the closest match.

Sitemap crawl

Crawls the sitemap you give it when a project is added and re-crawls it automatically to keep the index current.

Manual overrides

Exact source-to-destination 301 rules can be set to take precedence over the automatic match.

Redirect map export

Exports the redirect map as a CSV for .htaccess, nginx, Shopify's URL redirect manager or other CMS tools.

Dead-destination detection

Flags redirect targets that no longer load, and excludes bot traffic from counts and analytics.

Dashboard and team access

Daily redirect charts, metric cards and top URL logs, with admin, member and viewer roles per project.

Redirection.io

Redirect rules

Set up simple one-to-one redirects or pattern rules with wildcards and regular expressions, matched on URLs, headers and query strings. New rules apply in under 20 seconds.

Real-time traffic logs

Every request is logged and grouped so recurring HTTP errors stand out, with email, Slack or webhook alerts on paid plans.

Test rules on past traffic

See how a new ruleset would have changed real requests before publishing it. Pro adds a check that flags overwritten rules, redirect chains and loops.

SEO crawler

Crawls a site and reports more than 60 indicators per page on content, structure and technical issues, with scheduled crawls and comparisons between runs.

Recipes, meta tags and headers

One-click recipes for common fixes such as forcing HTTPS, blocking AI bots or adding security headers, plus page meta tag editing.

Log-based analytics

Visitors, pageviews, referrers, UTM campaigns and user paths worked out from server logs, with no JavaScript snippet on the page.
