- 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

- Skip it if AI answer tracking is the point, as Riva is separate, covers ChatGPT, and costs $29 to $49 a month
- Pricey if you need more rank checks, with extra checks an add-on from $20 a month
- Watch out: extra disavow analysis and API credits are add-ons from $39 and $50 a month

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.
