SEOwl is a French web tool that checks rankings daily, crawls backlinks daily to see they're live and followed, and watches chosen pages hourly for SEO changes. There's no free plan; plans start at $25 a month for 250 keywords. Its pages don't say which search engines it tracks, white label starts at $65, the pricing footer reads 2022, and the blog stopped in December 2024. - **Value for money: C.** Solo 250 is $25 a month for 250 daily keywords, 2,500 monitored backlinks and 250 watched pages, with two months free on yearly billing. That's in the middle of what rank trackers charge, with backlink and page checks in the same plan. - **Free plan and trial: C.** No free plan, but a 7-day trial with no card needed. A few free stand-alone tools, like a bulk rank checker, sit on the site too. - **Features: C.** Daily desktop and mobile rankings, local or national, on-demand refreshes, 30 days of saved results pages with a diff, daily backlink checks and hourly page monitoring. The gap: its pricing page doesn't name which search engines it tracks. - **Ease of use: C.** No rating on record. You add sites, keywords, backlinks and pages to watch, then set alerts and build reports in a drag-and-drop designer. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web only, with no desktop or phone app. It links to Google Analytics, Search Console, Data Studio, Slack, DomDetailer and Zapier, and has an API.

The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/rank-trackers ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** To replace SEOwl you would be making an index of the links between billions of web pages. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 17 of the 39 other rank trackers grade higher. It costs $300 a year. - You could make: Reports: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: An index of the links between billions of web pages. - You could not: Daily checks of where your pages rank in search results. - You could not: A crawler that checks every page of a site. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Google Analytics, Google Search Console and Google Data Studio among them, and has an API.
