Which one is for you
Pick SEO Review Tools for Chrome if
- Fits if you want a quick free check on a page without paying for a suite
- Works for looking up a competitor's backlinks or authority while you browse
Look elsewhere if
- Watch out: the tools show a credit meter, but the limits behind it aren't stated
- Tight if you skip the free account, as every tool then asks for a captcha
- Pricey if you want the data by API, which starts at $75 a month, then $175 and $450
- Too light for checks inside the browser, as it's a shortcut and the work runs on seoreviewtools.com
- Skip it if you're not on Chrome, and note that the developer hasn't identified itself as a trader, so EU consumer rights don't apply
Pick SEOquake if
- Fits if you check a rival's traffic and backlink figures while you browse
- Works for reading Semrush figures for every result on a Google search page
Look elsewhere if
- Watch out: the traffic and backlink figures are Semrush estimates, not data from your own analytics
- Skip it if you use Firefox, where the version is 3.9.9 from December 2022 against 4.3.0 on Chrome
- Tight if you won't make a Semrush account, as Authority Score, referring domains and Traffic Analytics need one
- Not for you if you want the interface in a language other than English

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.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
