Compare
Where we win, and where we plainly do not.
Every page here lists what the other tool does better, because a comparison that only flatters us is a comparison nobody believes. If one of them is the right answer for you, we would rather you find that out here than after a month of paying us.
One scenario, priced both ways
| Tool | Scenario | Us | Them |
|---|---|---|---|
| vs Semrush | One site, 50 keywords, weekly | $29/mo | $139/mo (SEO) |
| vs Ahrefs | One site, 50 keywords, weekly | $29/mo | $129/mo (Lite) |
| vs OpenSEO | One site, 50 keywords, weekly | $29/mo | $10/mo (Self-hosted + vendor) |
Their prices checked 2026-09-17; they change, and the full page for each tool says so.
Head to head
Read the one that's actually about the tool you use today.
- vs SemrushA 50-tool marketing suite with SEO at the centre of it.
- Choose Semrush when
- You need backlinks, competitor ad research, content briefs or white-label client portals. We do not have those and are not building them.
- Choose us when
- You want the keyword-to-rank loop, you want to know the price before you spend it, and you would rather not pay for forty-five tools you never open.
- vs AhrefsThe best backlink index in the industry, with an SEO suite around it.
- Choose Ahrefs when
- Link building is a real part of your work, or you need to size up domains you do not own. Their index is the product; ours does not compete with it.
- Choose us when
- You mostly research keywords and watch positions, and you want the bill to be a number you chose rather than a plan tier you were sorted into.
- vs OpenSEOOpen-source, self-hosted SEO tooling on top of your own vendor keys.
- Choose OpenSEO when
- You are comfortable running infrastructure, you want every vendor knob, and paying no markup matters more than the hours it costs you. That is a legitimate trade and we will not pretend it isn't.
- Choose us when
- You would rather spend those hours on the client work, and you want a bill you can predict and a reservation that stops an accidental $200 query before it reaches the vendor.
