Which one is for you
Pick Serpstat if
- Fits if you want research, tracking and audits in one account from $50 a month on yearly billing
- Works for small agencies that want 3 users and an API on Team at $100 a month
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a free plan or won't hand over a card: the trial takes $1 to check and renews into a paid plan after 7 days
- Not for you if you need the API, AI tools, keyword lists or JavaScript rendering on a single-user plan, as they start on Team
- Tight if you research all day on Individual, with 100 searches a day shared across site, keyword and backlink lookups
- Pricey if you want white-label reports, which are only on Agency at $410 a month
- Not for you if you want a desktop or phone app; it runs on the web with a browser extension
Pick Sistrix if
- Fits if you report SEO progress with one number per domain
- Works for you if you want years of history on how a competitor's visibility moved
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you're one person, as Start is €99 a month on a yearly contract with 3 months of history
- Tight if more people need logins, since Start has one user and can't add more; extra users from Plus are €24.90
- Not for you if you need invoices in dollars, which only come with Enterprise
- Tight if you need the API, as Start has none, Plus has Visibility Index data only, and full access starts at €349
- Watch out: AI Check and prompt tracking are free only during the beta and may be priced separately later
How we grade them
| 2.0GPASerpstatFair | 2.2GPASistrixFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CIndividual is $50 a month on yearly billing ($69 monthly), at the top of this category's middle range, for 1 user, 100 searches a day and 10,000 position checks a month. Team, with 3 users and the API, is $100. | DStart is €99 a month plus tax on a yearly contract (€119 monthly), about $111, for 1 user, 3 projects and 3 months of history. That's more than twice this category's middle, and the content tools and the API need Plus at €199. |
| Free plan and trial | DNo free plan. The 7-day trial of Individual or Team checks your card with a $1 charge that comes back, then renews into a paid plan unless you cancel. | CNo free plan, but a 14-day trial that ends on its own, so there's nothing to cancel. Lecturers and students can apply for a free licence for academic use. |
| Features | CKeyword and site research with organic and paid rankings, backlinks, daily rank tracking and audits. The gaps are on Individual: no API, AI tools, keyword lists, batch analysis or JavaScript rendering, and one pool of daily searches for everything. | BThe Visibility Index for any domain, keyword research, a backlink index, an on-page crawler with JavaScript rendering, ranking updates, AI answer tracking and Amazon analysis. It covers the whole job, though Start keeps only 3 months of history. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record. Daily search credits shared across site, keyword and backlink lookups take some planning, and the reports have a learning curve. | CNo rating on record. Each domain gets one score, but it's a big suite with projects, crawls and keyword lists to set up. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb plus a browser extension, with an API and an MCP connection for ChatGPT and Claude from the Team plan. No desktop or phone app. | BWeb only, connected to Google Search Console, Google Analytics, Slack and Majestic. There's no API on Start, Visibility Index data only on Plus, and the full API from Professional. |
| Best for | all-in-one SEO from $50 a month | tracking a domain's Google visibility over years |

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.
