Which one is for you
Pick TEXToptimizer if
- Fits if you want to check whether an existing page covers its topic
- Makes sense if your pages need to do well on Bing as well as Google
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you're staying free, as the suggestions, question search, export and plugin all need Pro
- Skip it if you want AI to write the draft, as there's no writer on record
- Not for you if you work in a team, as no seats, API or integrations are listed
Pick YourText.Guru if
- Fits if you write SEO content in French, or in one of eight other languages
- Works for agencies giving outside writers guest access to a single guide
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you want to try it first, as there's only a demo mode
- Watch out: a guide can be analyzed for 50 days, and unused AI tokens don't roll over
- Skip it if you want to publish straight to your CMS, as there are no native integrations
- Pricey if you need the API, as API plans are separate and start at $432 a month
- Tight if more than 2 of you write, since Lite has 2 members and Essential is $227

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.
