How we compare
A side-by-side against three SEO tools we get asked about most. Honest where they win, honest where they don't.
Methodology + freshness. The table below reflects each tool's publicly listed features as of 2026-06-01, based on the sources linked at the bottom of this page. Tools change — if a row is wrong or out of date, email us and we'll fix it.
Feature presence does not imply identical implementation, performance, or pricing. Pricing varies by plan, region, and seat count; we don't quote competitor prices in the table — check their own pricing pages (linked below) for current numbers.

When you should NOT switch
Each of these tools is genuinely better than us at something. If any of the below describes you, stay where you are.
- You crawl 1M+ pages weekly on a workstation. Screaming Frog SEO Spider running on a beefy local machine is excellent for one-off mega-crawls. We're better at recurring, scheduled, multi-user setups.
- You need enterprise-grade backlink intelligence. Ahrefs and Semrush have their own proprietary crawls + link graphs we don't replicate. We pull from DataForSEO, which is "good enough" for most projects but not the same depth.
- You're deeply embedded in a specific tool's workflow. If your team has years of SE Ranking dashboards, templates, and Looker Studio connectors, the switching cost may exceed the savings.
- You need Brandwatch-scale social listening. Our Facebook / LinkedIn / Instagram coverage is limited to what the official APIs allow (mostly your own pages). Brandwatch / Meltwater do the harder work of public listening at scale.
