Which one is for you
Pick SEOwind if
- Fits if you publish about 20 researched articles a month for a couple of domains
- Works for agencies that would buy finished white-label articles
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you want a proper try-out: the trial is 3 days, and the page's meta text says 7
- Pricey if you are one writer: $189 a month on yearly billing for 20 articles
- Watch out: no monthly-billing price is shown, and more than 20 articles is priced in the app
- Watch out: SEO Services start at $3,000 a month with a 3-month minimum
Pick SurgeGraph if
- Fits if you're an agency selling AI search work to several clients
- Works for WordPress sites that want to count visits sent by ChatGPT, Perplexity and other AI tools
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you want to try it first, as there's no free plan or trial, only a once-only 14-day refund
- Watch out: Spark tracks only ChatGPT and Google AI Overview, every 5 days; Perplexity starts at Scale
- Pricey if you need Gemini, Google AI Mode, daily updates or MCP, which all wait on Signature at $107.50
- Tight if you write and track a lot, as one credit pool covers both and unused credits don't roll over
- Skip it if your site isn't on WordPress, since the optimizer and the AI traffic dashboard both need it

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.
