Read this page as one judge. Each weighs the same scores by what they care about.

The Data Analyst

Weighted verdict

Wants the numbers in the warehouse, not in a PDF. Cares about a documented API with published credit costs, bulk historical export, and whether three years of ranking history leaves with the customer or dies with the subscription.

Same scores as the panel view — this lens weights them the way this judge cares.

Scored by The Data Analyst

Crawling & technical audit

How this is scored

Site crawling at real scale: what the crawler finds, how deeply it checks, whether Core Web Vitals and indexation problems are diagnosed rather than merely listed.

0 — No site crawler; the product is keyword data only.

3 — A crawler with a low page cap that reports broken links and missing tags, with no prioritisation and no rendering of JavaScript.

5 — Scheduled crawls at a stated page limit, JavaScript rendering, issue categories with severity, and Core Web Vitals pulled per template.

8 — Log-file or Search Console integration to compare what the crawler sees against what Google fetched, indexation and canonical diagnosis, structured-data validation, and issues prioritised by traffic impact rather than count.

10 — The audit is diagnostic rather than a list: crawl budget analysed, rendering differences surfaced, regressions detected between crawls with the deploy that caused them inferrable, and remediation guidance specific enough for a developer ticket.

Report an error

The Data Analyst

Weekly Rogerbot crawls run at published page limits with issue categories, expert fix guidance and new issues flagged between crawls, and Core Web Vitals are measured per URL on a weekly reanalysis with 90 days of history. I found no public information on JavaScript rendering, log-file or Search Console comparison, indexation or structured-data diagnosis, and issues are prioritised by type and frequency rather than traffic impact. 4 5 2

Keyword research & content guidance

How this is scored

Keyword discovery, intent classification, SERP feature analysis and on-page guidance — judged on the depth of the German-language data as much as the English.

0 — A keyword list with volumes from one source and no intent or difficulty signal.

3 — Volume and difficulty for major markets, with thin or stale German data and no SERP feature detail.

5 — Keyword research with volume, difficulty and intent across German and other EU markets, SERP feature presence, and basic on-page recommendations.

8 — Topic clustering, competitor gap analysis, SERP composition tracked over time, content briefs with entity coverage, and cannibalisation detection.

10 — Research and guidance close the loop: opportunity sized against realistic traffic, content scored against what currently ranks rather than against a keyword density heuristic, and recommendations that reference the specific pages in the customer's own site.

Report an error

The Data Analyst

Volume, difficulty, intent grouping and SERP-feature presence are all documented in Keyword Explorer, Keyword Gap compares against three competitors with a Traffic Lift estimate, and AI content briefs ship structure, questions, target audience and the pages already ranking. I found no public information on the depth of the German-language data, entity coverage or cannibalisation detection, so the top band stays out of reach. 6 7 10

Rank tracking & index quality

How this is scored

The proprietary data: ranking accuracy and frequency, backlink index size and freshness. Scored on what the vendor documents about their own data, because nothing here can be verified from outside.

0 — Rankings and backlinks with no stated update frequency, no country or device granularity, and no documentation of how either is collected.

3 — Weekly rankings for one country and device, a backlink index with no stated refresh cadence or size.

5 — Daily rankings with country, language and device selection, local results, and a backlink index with a documented crawl frequency.

8 — Rankings at stated frequency across many locations including city-level, SERP feature attribution, backlink index size and refresh published, lost-and-found link detection, and historical data retained for the life of the account.

10 — The vendor is accountable for their own data: methodology documented, index size and freshness published and updated, historical rankings retained and exportable in full, and discrepancies against Search Console explained rather than hidden.

Report an error

The Data Analyst

Rankings update weekly across up to four search engines with national and local tracking and a mobile/desktop split, anything past position 20 shows as 21+, and the link index publishes both its size and a 3-day refresh rate — though the captured pages give different figures for the link count. I found no public information on city-level tracking, lost-and-found link detection, collection methodology, or how discrepancies against Search Console are handled. 8 9 10 11

Reporting, integrations & API

How this is scored

Getting the data out and in front of someone: dashboards, white-label reporting for agencies, Search Console and analytics integration, and an API a team can build on.

0 — On-screen views only; export is a manual CSV and there is no API.

3 — Scheduled PDF reports and CSV export, one analytics integration, no API worth building against.

5 — Customisable dashboards, scheduled reports, Search Console and analytics integration, and a documented API with stated limits.

8 — White-label reporting with client access, data-warehouse or BigQuery export, multi-site and multi-client management, and an API with credit costs published per endpoint.

10 — The tool is a data source rather than a destination: full historical export in open formats, a versioned API with a deprecation policy, integrations the vendor maintains, and reporting an agency can hand a client unedited.

Report an error

The Data Analyst

There is a documented API with V2 and V3 documentation, JSON-RPC 2.0, token authentication and even an MCP server for LLM access, alongside custom dashboards, custom reports, multi-site campaigns and a Google Analytics connection. I found no public information on Search Console integration, white-label or client access, data-warehouse export, or credit costs per endpoint — the pages reference weighted endpoints without showing what they cost. 1 10 11 13

Data portability & exit

How this is scored

Whether the ranking and crawl history — the only thing a multi-year subscription actually accumulates — remains the customer's when they leave.

0 — No bulk export; history is visible in the interface and nowhere else, and ends with the subscription.

3 — CSV export of current views only, with historical data capped or unavailable in bulk.

5 — Bulk export of rankings, keywords and crawl results including history, via interface or API.

8 — Complete historical export in open formats without credit metering that prices it out of reach, plus a documented retention period after cancellation.

10 — Exit is designed for: the full account exportable including every historical data point, API access sufficient to mirror the data continuously, and a stated grace period during which the archive remains retrievable.

Report an error

The Data Analyst

The entire keyword ranking history exports to CSV across any timeframe in the campaign's life, and SERP-feature data exports weekly per keyword, so multi-year history genuinely leaves with the customer. It is interface CSV only — featured-snippet presence is not noted in the export and ranks outside the top 20 come back blank — and I found no public information on bulk crawl export, API access to your own history, or any retention window after cancellation. 8 9 12

European sovereignty

How this is scored

Where the account and crawl data live and who the contracting entity is. Independently sourced by the sovereignty pipeline; weighted lower here than in categories holding personal data, because an SEO tool mostly holds the customer's own strategy rather than their customers' identities.

0 — Non-EU vendor and contracting entity, hosting unstated, subprocessors unnamed, and site or user data of unclear scope leaving the EU.

3 — EU hosting offered as an option while the contracting entity is non-EU, or the subprocessor list is absent.

5 — EU hosting as standard and an EU contracting entity, but parts of the chain are non-EU without an explained safeguard.

8 — EU hosting on named infrastructure, EU contracting entity, subprocessor list published, and any analytics or Search Console data handling described with its legal basis.

10 — Sovereign end to end and evidenced: vendor, entity, hosting and every subprocessor European, certification published, and a DPA that covers the crawl and analytics data the tool ingests.

Report an error

The Data Analyst

The contracting entity is SEOMoz, Inc., a Ziff Davis company under US ownership, hosting location is unstated, subprocessors are described only as located anywhere in the world, and the performance crawlers run from North America. EEA transfers rely on standard contractual clauses and the EU-US Data Privacy Framework with an Irish-registered DPO — a documented mechanism, but nothing in the captured pages shows European hosting or a published subprocessor list. 1 3 5

Pricing transparency

How this is scored

The category where the headline price is least often the invoice. Whether a buyer can compute the real annual cost including keyword limits, crawl credits, API units, extra users and client seats — from public pages alone.

0 — No public prices at all; every tier is a sales conversation.

3 — A monthly headline exists, but keyword limits, crawl credits or the cost of an additional user are unstated — the invoice is unknowable.

5 — Tier prices public with the main limits given, but at least one commonly needed piece (extra seats, API credits, historical data) is unpriced or metered opaquely.

8 — Every tier priced publicly with keyword, crawl and API limits, overage rates, per-seat costs, minimum term and VAT treatment stated.

10 — Complete price computability: annual invoice derivable for a given keyword count, crawl volume, API usage and team size, with overage and every credit cost published.

Report an error

The Data Analyst

Three tiers are priced publicly at $99, $179 and $299 USD per month with a 20% yearly discount, and each tier states keyword, weekly-crawl, backlink-query and rank-checker limits plus AI add-ons at $20 per dashboard and $50 per 100 prompts. I found no public information on additional-seat pricing, API credit costs, overage rates, minimum term or VAT treatment, so I still cannot compute the real annual invoice for a given team size from public pages. 2 2
