| Value for money | CThe self-hosted edition is free, but only if you run your own server, which we count as a C. The cloud edition is $34.95 a month for 1 website, mid-range for this category, and plugins at $10 to $30 and live API data from $9.99 a month cost extra. | CPremium is $671.04 a year, about $55.92 a month on yearly billing ($69.90 monthly), a little above this category's dearer quarter. That buys 3 projects, 25,000 pages per crawl and 300 keywords; white-label reports and team members need Professional. |
| Free plan and trial | BFree means hosting it yourself: the open-source edition has unlimited websites and users, rank tracking, audits and Google data, which one person really could live on. Country Google domains and detailed backlinks are paid plugins, though. | CA free Basic plan with no time limit: 1 project, 100 pages per crawl, 10 tracked keywords and 5 tool credits a day, and you start each crawl by hand. Fine for a tiny site, tight for a business. Paid plans have a 14-day trial too. |

Gaps: daily tracking past page two is an add-on, and AI tracking is listed as coming soon. |

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.
