The report card
Best for website governance and AI visibility for large sites
Silktide is a platform for large web estates that tests pages and PDFs for content quality, accessibility and compliance, and tracks brand mentions in AI answers. No price is published, and the pricing page lists Grow, Protect and Complete without figures or limits.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No price is published: Silktide quotes by scope after contact, so there's nothing to set against the category's middle of $19. |
| Free plan and trial | F | Nothing free on the pricing page and no trial listed, so access starts with a quote. |
| Features | C | Governance testing, content and link checks, AI visibility, analytics and a task workflow. The pricing page lists three plans without saying what each includes beyond SSO and SOC 2 on Complete. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. A platform for organizations, set up through its team. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only, and the listing names no integrations. |
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 Silktide is for
- Fits if you run a large website and need accessibility, content and compliance checks in one place
- Works for teams that want a task list from each test
Who it is not for

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
The plain part of Silktide you could make: reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 86 of the 91 other technical SEO tools grade higher.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- A crawler that checks every page of a site.
- The same prompts asked of ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI answers every day, and the answers kept.
- A tracking script and a database that counts every visit.
What this rests on. Silktide’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.
