> Redirect manager and traffic log monitor for websites

Checked Oct 23, 2026 · graded Oct 23, 2026 by ToolGPA.

## Ways to pay less

- **Save 20% with yearly billing** (Annual discount): The pricing page lists Starter at €20 a month billed yearly instead of €25 billed monthly, or €80 instead of €100 for 1,000 rules. Source: https://redirection.io/pricing

## 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.

## Good for

- Site migrations that need thousands of redirects managed by the SEO team
- Teams that want to spot 404s and other errors from real traffic
- Sites on nginx, Apache, Cloudflare, Fastly or Vercel

## 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.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.2 out of 4**, graded Oct 23, 2026. 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.

- **Value for money: C.** Starter 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.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** A 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.
- **Features: C.** Pattern 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.
- **Ease of use: C.** No 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.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, with an API, Slack alerts and integrations for nginx, Apache, Cloudflare Workers, Fastly, Vercel, Upsun and Clever Cloud. No desktop or phone app.

## Keep it, 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.

- You could not: Millions of server log lines read to see what search bots crawl.
- You could not: A crawler that checks every page of a site.
- You could not: A tracking script and a database that counts every visit.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, nginx, Apache and Cloudflare Workers among them, and has an API.

A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it.
