SEO suites

Your suite has the data. You still decide what to do with it.

You've paid for a suite and used two tabs of it. Here you get one page for each search you want, and a list of what to write. Backlinks and the bigger keyword database stay with the suites, and those rows go to them.

Content editors

Know which pages to write before you open the editor.

You've polished a page in an editor and it still went nowhere, because it was the wrong page. Get the plan first: which page should win each search, and what to write next.

AI writers

Pick the topics yourself before a tool writes them.

You've watched an autoblog publish thirty posts and couldn't say why those thirty. Read the plan first, then decide what gets written. Our own writer opens to customers in October, and every row that needs it carries that date.

AI search trackers

Your AI tracker shows the prompts. It doesn't say what to publish.

You've got a report of prompts and mentions. Your keyword map turns it into work: the AI questions each page should answer, beside its main keyword. Daily prompt checks stay with your tracker.

Where they win

144 of 273 rows go to the other tool.

You've read comparison pages where every row went the vendor's way. Here more than half the rows across 25 tables are called for the other tool, and a row we can't give you yet counts as even, not ours.

If backlinks run your week, the table tells you to keep that tool
Anything that needs the audit or the writer is marked From October
Each page names four jobs where you should keep the other tool

Questions, answered straight

Want a shortlist instead? Best tools and alternatives

Can I use everything in these tables today?

Not yet. 16 of the 273 rows sell something of ours that isn't open to customers yet: the site audit, the article writer and publishing open in October, and the Google connection opens shortly. Each of those rows says so, and none of them counts as a row we win.

Is the plan free?

Your first plan is, with no card: up to 10 keywords, 5 AI search prompts and a keyword map for up to 15 priority pages. Page titles and the content calendar come with a paid plan, from $150 a month.

Do you have a backlink index?

No. There is no link index here and no link monitoring, and every table that meets one gives that row away. If links are the centre of your week, keep the tool that builds an index and use the plan beside it.

Where do their prices come from?

From each vendor's own pricing page, read on September 26, 2026. Every comparison prints its date. Check their page before you buy, because ours isn't the copy that bills you.

Should I cancel the tool I have?

Not always. Every comparison lists four jobs where the other tool is the better buy. If one of them is your job, keep it and put the plan next to it.

Will this work outside the United States?

Keyword research covers 95 markets. Check yours is on the list before you pay.
