How we grade them
| 2.8GPARedirect PathGood | 2.0GPASEO MinionFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | AFree, and Ayima's licence says its extensions are free for personal and commercial use. No paid version is listed. | BSilver, the cheapest Keywords Everywhere plan that includes it, is $14 a month billed yearly ($168) for up to 3 users, right on this category's cheaper-quarter line. One person pays the same $14, and it brings 400,000 keyword credits a year. |
| Free plan and trial | AFree outright: status flags, redirect chains, headers and the Ask Ayima AI button, with nothing to upgrade to. | FNothing is free. The cheaper Bronze plan leaves SEO Minion out, and there's no separate free version and no trial, so the way in is $168 for a year of Silver. |
| Features | DOne narrow function: status codes and redirect chains, server, meta refresh and JavaScript, with headers, server IP and an HSTS note. No tags, headings, links or search data, and no list of URLs to check in bulk. | BMeta, Open Graph, canonical and robots tags, broken links by status, server, meta and JavaScript redirects, hreflang return tags, JSON-LD, RDFa and microdata, HTML against the rendered DOM and SERP previews from any location. Volumes come with the plan it needs. |
| Ease of use | BNo rating on record, but there's nothing to set up: install it and the icon flags redirects on the next page you load. | CNo rating on record. Before it works you buy a Keywords Everywhere plan and set it up with that plan's API key, from your subscription page. |
| Platforms and integrations | CChrome only, so computers only, with no Firefox, Safari or Edge version named and no integrations. The interface is English only. | CAn extension for Chrome, Firefox and Edge, so computers only, with no Safari version. It connects to Keywords Everywhere and works on Google Search, and nothing else is listed. |

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.
