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 64 other SEO tools we grade
SISTRIX is an SEO suite from Germany built around its Visibility Index, a score of how well a domain shows up in Google, kept for over 100 million domains. Packages add keyword and backlink research, an on-page crawler, ranking updates, content tools and Amazon marketplace analysis, while AI Check and prompt tracking measure how brands appear in AI chatbots.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Sistrix, taken from its own pages and our grades.
Each domain gets one score, but it's a big suite with projects, crawls and keyword lists to set up.
- 1
Best for tracking a domain's Google visibility over years
Sistrix boils a site's Google presence down to one number, the Visibility Index, kept for over 100 million domains with up to 11 years of history, alongside keyword and backlink research, a crawler and AI answer tracking.
- 2
Paid plans start at about $110.94 a month
As its pricing page puts it: €99 per month plus tax, billed annually (€119 billed monthly).
- 3
You can try it first
14-day free trial that ends on its own, with no cancellation needed
- 4
It runs on Web
Web.
- 5
Visibility Index and domain analysis
Enter a domain to see its Google visibility over time, its rankings and its competitors, with history from 3 months to 11 years by package.
- 6
Keyword research
Keyword Discovery and related tools look up search data for billions of keywords and show which domains rank for them.
- 7
Backlink index
Inspect a competitor's link sources and monitor your own backlinks, with data from SISTRIX, Majestic and other link partners.
- 8
A 2.2 GPA, above 20 of 64
That is against the other SEO tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
Keep it
To replace Sistrix you would be making search volumes for millions of keywords, gathered and kept up to date. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for tracking a domain's Google visibility over years
Sistrix boils a site's Google presence down to one number, the Visibility Index, kept for over 100 million domains with up to 11 years of history, alongside keyword and backlink research, a crawler and AI answer tracking. But Start is €99 a month plus tax on a yearly contract for one user and 3 months of history, the API waits for Plus, and AI tracking may be priced separately after the beta.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | D | Start is €99 a month plus tax on a yearly contract (€119 monthly), about $111, for 1 user, 3 projects and 3 months of history. That's more than twice this category's middle, and the content tools and the API need Plus at €199. |
| Free plan and trial | C | No free plan, but a 14-day trial that ends on its own, so there's nothing to cancel. Lecturers and students can apply for a free licence for academic use. |
| Features | B | The Visibility Index for any domain, keyword research, a backlink index, an on-page crawler with JavaScript rendering, ranking updates, AI answer tracking and Amazon analysis. It covers the whole job, though Start keeps only 3 months of history. |
| Ease of use | C | No rating on record. Each domain gets one score, but it's a big suite with projects, crawls and keyword lists to set up. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web only, connected to Google Search Console, Google Analytics, Slack and Majestic. There's no API on Start, Visibility Index data only on Plus, and the full API from Professional. |
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 Sistrix is for
- Fits if you report SEO progress with one number per domain
- Works for you if you want years of history on how a competitor's visibility moved
Who it is not for
- Pricey if you're one person, as Start is €99 a month on a yearly contract with 3 months of history
- Tight if more people need logins, since Start has one user and can't add more; extra users from Plus are €24.90
- Not for you if you need invoices in dollars, which only come with Enterprise
- Tight if you need the API, as Start has none, Plus has Visibility Index data only, and full access starts at €349
- Watch out: AI Check and prompt tracking are free only during the beta and may be priced separately later
Good to know
Good for
- SEO teams that report progress with one visibility score per domain
- Agencies comparing client domains with competitors over years of history
- Companies that want their SEO data held in Europe
Worth knowing
- Prices are in euros plus tax; invoicing in US dollars or other currencies is only offered through the Enterprise program.
- Start has one user and cannot add more; extra users from Plus cost €24.90 a month each.
- There is no API on Start, only Visibility Index data on Plus, and full access from Professional.
- AI Check and prompt tracking are free in every package during the beta, and SISTRIX says it may price them separately later.

Part 04 · Standing
Where it stands
Its grades against its category, and whether to keep it or make your own
20/64
Other SEO tools it is graded above
Sistrix's GPA of 2.2 is higher than 20 of the 64 other SEO tools we grade, and level with 21.
It stands best on features (B, above 43 of 64) and worst on value for money (D, above 0).
Its paid plans start at about $110.94 a month, against a middle price of $39 for the category: 51 of the 56 others that charge start lower.
On features, ease of use and platforms it scores 2.7 out of 4. Nothing scores higher for less, though at least one tool matches that score at a lower price.
Each grade against the category
Every bar is all 65 SEO tools we grade, cut by the letter each got. Sistrix’s own letter is outlined.

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
To replace Sistrix you would be making search volumes for millions of keywords, gathered and kept up to date. 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: 23 of the 64 other SEO tools grade higher. It costs $1,331.27 a year.
What you could not
- Search volumes for millions of keywords, gathered and kept up to date.
- An index of the links between billions of web pages.
- Daily checks of where your pages rank in search results.
- 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 score built from what the top results for each keyword cover.
- It plugs into other products, Google Search Console, Google Analytics and Slack among them, and has an API.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Sistrix’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.
