Which one is for you
Pick Silktide if
- Fits if you run a large website and need accessibility, content and compliance checks in one place
- Works for teams that want a task list from each test
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you want a price before talking to sales
- Skip it if you want a free plan or trial, none is listed
- Not for you if you run a small site, as it's pitched at big web estates
- Watch out: the plan limits aren't shown, only the names Grow, Protect and Complete
Pick SiteGuru if
- Fits if you're a small agency sending audits to clients under your own brand
- Works for marketers who want a short list of fixes instead of a full crawl export
Look elsewhere if
- Too light for sites past 5,000 pages, the audit cap on every plan
- Watch out: the three paid plans share the same page and keyword limits, so paying more buys websites, not depth
- Skip it if you were counting on the free plan, as the pricing page doesn't say what it includes
How we grade them
| 1.6GPASilktideWeak | 2.2GPASiteGuruFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CNo price is published: Silktide quotes by scope after contact, so there's nothing to set against the category's middle of $19. | CSmall is $39 a month billed annually ($49 monthly) for 5 websites, above this category's middle of $29. Users are unlimited, but the dearer plans add only websites, competitor analyses and support, not bigger audits. |
| Free plan and trial | FNothing free on the pricing page and no trial listed, so access starts with a quote. | CA 6-week trial with no card and no automatic billing, then a free plan. The pricing page doesn't say what that free plan keeps, so we can't count on it. |
| Features | CGovernance testing, content and link checks, AI visibility, analytics and a task workflow. The pricing page lists three plans without saying what each includes beyond SSO and SOC 2 on Complete. | CWeekly crawls, indexation and hreflang checks, structured data, content decay, AI referral traffic, internal links and backlink monitoring. The gap is size: every plan caps audits at 5,000 pages and 2,500 keywords per site. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. A platform for organizations, set up through its team. | CNo rating on record. It hands you a to-do list rather than raw crawl data, but you still connect Search Console and Google Analytics before most reports work. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb only, and the listing names no integrations. | BWeb only. It connects to Search Console, Google Analytics and Slack, with webhooks and MCP access for Claude and ChatGPT. No desktop or phone app. |
| Best for | website governance and AI visibility for large sites | audit to-do lists for small agencies |

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.
