Redirect manager and traffic log monitor for websites
Redirection.io report card
Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 23, 2026
Best for redirects marketers can manage themselves
Redirection.io lets SEO and marketing teams set redirects, meta tags and headers without a developer, and logs every request so recurring 404s stand out. Starter is €20 a month for 100 rules on yearly billing, but support, segments and rule compliance tests wait on Pro from €150, the crawler costs extra credits, and traffic has to pass through a hosted instance or an agent, module or edge integration on your side.
Who Redirection.io is for
- Fits if your marketing team keeps waiting on developers to add redirects
- Works for sites mid-migration that need to see which old URLs still return 404s
Who Redirection.io is not for
- Tight if you stay free, at 10 rules, 1 day of logs and 10,000 log lines a day
- Pricey if you need support, segments or rule compliance tests, which start at €150 a month on Pro
- Watch out: the crawler runs on credits bought separately, €22 for 50,000 pages
- Not for you if nobody can install its agent, server module or edge integration and a hosted instance won't do
- Watch out: prices are in euros before VAT, each plan covers one project, and Starter has no setup help

Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyStarter is €20 a month for 100 rules on yearly billing (€25 monthly), above this category's cheaper quarter at $13 and under its $29 middle. 1,000 rules are €80, Pro starts at €150, and prices exclude VAT.
- CFree plan and trialA free plan with 10 redirect rules, unlimited domains and users, 1 day of logs capped at 10,000 lines a day and 1 month of statistics. 10 rules go fast in a migration. Paid plans have a 15-day trial with no card.
- CFeaturesPattern redirects on URLs, headers and query strings, real-time request logs with alerts, rules tested against past traffic, a crawler with 60+ checks, meta tag and header edits and log-based analytics. Gaps on record: the crawler runs on bought credits, and segments and compliance tests need Pro.
- CEase of useNo rating on record. Rules are managed in a web app, but traffic has to pass through it first: a hosted instance, or an agent, web server module or edge integration on your side.

Keep Redirection.io, or make your own?
Keep it
Nothing Redirection.io does is plain enough to make in a weekend. The 4 things listed below take a company.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 43 of the 83 other technical SEO tools grade higher. It costs $268.94 a year.
What you could not
- Millions of server log lines read to see what search bots crawl.
- A crawler that checks every page of a site.
- A tracking script and a database that counts every visit.
- It plugs into other products, nginx, Apache and Cloudflare Workers among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. Redirection.io’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Redirection.io?
Redirection.io lets SEO and marketing teams manage a site's redirects without asking a developer. It logs every request in real time, flags recurring errors such as 404s, and can also set meta tags and headers, crawl the site for SEO issues and report log-based analytics. It runs as a hosted proxy, as an agent or web server module on your own servers, or fully on premise.
Worth knowing
- Prices are in euros and exclude VAT, and each plan covers one project.
- Starter stops at 1,000 rules with no setup help; segments, advanced triggers, compliance tests and support need Pro, from €150 a month.
- The crawler runs on credits bought separately: 50,000 pages cost €22 as a one-off pack.
- Without a hosted managed instance it needs an agent, a web server module or an edge integration; Starter allows 5 managed instances and 100 GB of traffic a month.
Key features
- Redirect rules
- Set up simple one-to-one redirects or pattern rules with wildcards and regular expressions, matched on URLs, headers and query strings. New rules apply in under 20 seconds.
- Real-time traffic logs
- Every request is logged and grouped so recurring HTTP errors stand out, with email, Slack or webhook alerts on paid plans.
- Test rules on past traffic
- See how a new ruleset would have changed real requests before publishing it. Pro adds a check that flags overwritten rules, redirect chains and loops.
- SEO crawler
- Crawls a site and reports more than 60 indicators per page on content, structure and technical issues, with scheduled crawls and comparisons between runs.
- Recipes, meta tags and headers
- One-click recipes for common fixes such as forcing HTTPS, blocking AI bots or adding security headers, plus page meta tag editing.
- Log-based analytics
- Visitors, pageviews, referrers, UTM campaigns and user paths worked out from server logs, with no JavaScript snippet on the page.
