Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.2
GPA, above 20 of the 83 other technical SEO tools we grade
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.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Redirection.io, taken from its own pages and our grades.
- 1
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.
- 2
Paid plans start at about $22.41 a month
As its pricing page puts it: €20 per month for 100 rules, billed yearly (€25 billed monthly).
- 3

Up to 10 redirect rules, unlimited domains and users, 1 day of detailed logs (10,000 lines a day), 1 month of traffic statistics and crawler access.

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.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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
Good to know
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.

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.
