GSC Helper review (2026): is it any good?
Free Chrome extension that adds charts and filters to Search Console
GSC Helper report card
Very good · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 23, 2026
Best for charts, notes and filters inside Search Console
GSC Helper adds weekly, monthly and quarterly charts with Google updates, index history past three months, annotations, RegEx filters, n-grams and bulk exports to Google Search Console, for free and with no login for its core features. It works only inside Search Console on properties you can access, it's Chrome only, and the FAQ says figures can show wrongly after switching views until you refresh.
Who GSC Helper is for
- Fits if you spend your days in Search Console and keep exporting it to spreadsheets
- Works for agencies pinning site changes against traffic on client properties
Who GSC Helper is not for
- Skip it if you don't have access to the site's Search Console property, as it works nowhere else
- Too light for page checks, since it reads Search Console reports and checks nothing on a page
- Watch out: the FAQ says figures can show wrongly after switching views or properties until you refresh
- Not for you if you're not on Chrome, and the developer hasn't identified itself as a trader, so EU consumer rights don't apply
Why GSC Helper gets a 3.0
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- AValue for moneyFree from searchanalyzer.io, with every feature of the extension included. The company's own Search Console platform is sold separately.
- AFree plan and trialFree outright: charts, index history, annotations, filters, n-grams and bulk exports, with no login for the core features and optional read-only API access.
- CFeaturesPerformance by week, month or quarter with Google updates, index history past three months, annotations, RegEx filters, n-grams, merged crawl stats and BigQuery SQL. It does Search Console analysis fully, a smaller job, with no page checks.
- BEase of useNo rating on record, but it sits inside the Search Console you already use and needs no login or API key for its core features.
- CPlatforms and integrationsChrome only, so computers only, the vendor's page says. It works inside Google Search Console and writes SQL for Google BigQuery.
