The panel's verdict
Technical audit, SpyFu's strongest area, scored 6: scheduled crawls with a stated default of 100 pages, a JavaScript rendering toggle, sitemap validation, and pre-written, revertible auto-fixes sorted by impact. Rank and index data scores (4 to 6) follow a published method — over 7.2 trillion results across 152 million domains, top 50 organic and top 23 paid results collected monthly, cached Google pages for verification. The weakest columns are sovereignty (0 to 1) and pricing transparency (0 to 2): the privacy policy states SpyFu is located in the United States and that information is transferred out of the EU to the United States, and the only public cost statement is that the Project Management API is free to use. Keyword and content spread 4 to 6 — deep SERP analysis and AI on-page recommendations against no public information on intent classification, topic clustering or German-language depth. Reporting and API at 4 to 5 and data portability at 3 to 4 rest on keyword export, PDF reports with selectable sections and the free API, with no documented exit path for accumulated history.
Speaks for it
- Scheduled crawls with a stated, adjustable default of 100 pages, sitemap validation, orphan-page detection and separate indexable/non-indexable page views.
- Issues tiered as Errors, Warnings and Notices, including an explicit Developer Fix category, with pre-written auto-fixes sorted by impact and revertible.
- A published index of over 7.2 trillion results across 152 million domains, a stated collection scope of top 50 organic and top 23 paid results, and cached Google pages for verification.
- A version 1 Project Management API stated as free to use that can reproduce anything you can do in My SpyFu programmatically.
- Keyword lists exportable in full or filtered before download, and instant PDF reports assembled from user-selected sections.
Held against it
- The privacy policy states SpyFu is located in the United States and that information provided is transferred out of the EU to the United States, and we found no public information on EU hosting options, a data processing agreement or subprocessor locations.
- We found no public information on tier prices, billing periods, per-tier keyword or crawl limits, per-seat costs, overage rates or VAT treatment — the only pricing statements are the free-to-use API and a 1000-per-month custom-keyword limit for subscribers.
- We found no public information on Core Web Vitals or page speed reporting, log-file or Search Console comparison, or structured-data validation.
- We found no public information on search intent classification, topic clustering, content briefs or German-language data depth.
- Collection is stated as monthly, and we found no public information on country, device or local-result selection, any backlink index, exporting historical rankings or audit results, or retention after cancellation.
Best for
- You audit a small or mid-sized site on a schedule and want pre-written, revertible fixes your developers can act on.
- You benchmark competitor SERPs and want a data vendor that publishes its index size, collection scope and cached source pages.
- You want to script your workflow, since the version 1 Project Management API is stated as free to use and covers My SpyFu actions programmatically.
- You need keyword research you can take with you — lists export in full or filtered, and PDF reports are generated on demand.
Avoid if
- You must compute an annual invoice or client rebill from public pricing before committing.
- Your procurement requires EU data residency or a data processing agreement, as the privacy policy states information is transferred out of the EU to the United States.
- You need daily rank tracking or country, device or local granularity — collection is stated as monthly at the top 50 organic and top 23 paid scope.
- You expect to leave a multi-year subscription with your ranking history — we found no public information on historical export or retention after cancellation.

Crawling & technical audit
Show reasoningHide reasoning
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 or audit; the product is keyword, rank or backlink data only.
3 — A site audit that crawls pages and reports broken links, missing tags and redirect problems.
5 — Scheduled site audits with a stated page limit, issues grouped by category and severity with fix hints, and page speed or Core Web Vitals reported.
8 — JavaScript rendering, log-file or Search Console integration to compare what the crawler sees against what Google fetched, indexation and canonical diagnosis, structured-data validation, crawl comparison over time, 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.
The In-House SEO Lead
Scheduled crawls with a stated, adjustable page limit (100 pages by default), issues grouped into errors, warnings and notices plus action categories including an explicit Developer Fix group, and pre-written, revertible auto-fixes give me findings close to what a developer ticket needs. JavaScript rendering can be toggled on, sitemaps are validated against the crawl, and indexable versus non-indexable pages are separated, which takes this past a standard audit. We found no public information on Core Web Vitals or page speed measurement, Search Console or log-file comparison, structured-data validation or crawl-budget analysis, and a 100-page default crawl is small for a large site. 1 3 4
The Agency Owner
Scheduled crawls, a JavaScript rendering toggle, indexable/non-indexable page splits, sitemap validation and orphan-page detection put this well past a link checker, and pre-written fixes sorted by impact with one-click rollback are exactly what my team forwards to clients. But the default crawl is 100 pages with the ceiling unstated, and we found no public information on Core Web Vitals, log files, or Search Console comparison, which caps how diagnostic this can be for large sites. 1 3 4
The Technical SEO
The audit has diagnostic instincts: scheduled crawls, an indexable/non-indexable page split, sitemap findings cross-checked against the crawl, orphan-page detection, and a JavaScript rendering toggle off by default. Severity tiers with catastrophic site-level findings first, pre-written fixes sorted by impact, and rollback push remediation toward developer-ticket quality. We found no public information on Core Web Vitals, log-file or Search Console comparison, structured-data validation, or issue-level regressions between crawls, and history is documented only as health-score movement. 1 3 4
The Content Strategist
The documented audit has a stated default of 100 pages with scheduling, severity tiers from Errors down to Notices, a JavaScript rendering toggle that is off by default, indexable versus non-indexable tabs, sitemap cross-checks, and pre-written auto-fixes sorted by impact. It stops short of the diagnostic tier: we found no public information on Core Web Vitals or page speed reporting, log files, Search Console comparison, structured-data validation, or crawl-budget analysis. 1 3 4
The Data Analyst
Scheduled crawls with a stated default of 100 pages, a JavaScript rendering toggle in crawl settings, indexable versus non-indexable page split, sitemap validation, and issues grouped by severity with pre-written autofixes and catastrophic findings put this above the basics. We found no public information on page speed or Core Web Vitals reporting, log-file or Search Console comparison, or structured-data validation, so I stop short of calling the audit diagnostic. 1 3 4
The Skeptic
The crawler has a stated default limit of 100 pages, adjustable, with crawl schedules, a JavaScript rendering toggle, indexable/non-indexable views, sitemap validation and orphan-page detection; issues are tiered by severity with pre-written auto-fixes sorted by impact and reversible. It clears the scheduled-audit band except for one item: we found no public information on page speed or Core Web Vitals reporting, log-file or Search Console integration, or structured-data validation. 1 3 4
Keyword research & content guidance
Show reasoningHide reasoning
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 — No keyword research or content guidance; the product is a crawler or rank tracker only.
3 — Keyword suggestions with search volume, for at least one market.
5 — Keyword research with volume, difficulty and search intent for Germany and other markets, SERP features shown per keyword, and on-page or content recommendations.
8 — Topic clustering, competitor keyword gap analysis, SERP composition tracked over time, content briefs or a writing assistant scored on entity or topic 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.
The In-House SEO Lead
Ranking difficulty, estimated monthly clicks and a per-keyword SERP breakdown covering ads, social pages, homepages and.edu/.gov results, plus AI on-page recommendations tied to primary and secondary target keywords, show real research depth, with domain diversity tracked over time and an icon flagging when one domain holds multiple positions. What I cannot credit is German-market depth: we found no public information on country-level or German-language keyword coverage, search intent classification, topic clustering or content briefs, and for a German-language property that silence matters as much as any feature. 3 5 6
The Agency Owner
SERP analysis is deep — ranking difficulty, estimated monthly clicks, ad-value comparison for the number-one spot, domain diversity over time, and social, homepage and.edu/.gov presence per keyword — and the site audit adds primary and secondary keywords per page with AI on-page recommendations. We found no public information on search-intent classification, German-market data depth, topic clustering or content briefs, which my German client work depends on. 3 5 6
The Technical SEO
SERP analysis is the deep part: ranking difficulty, click estimates with a relative ad-dollar value, composition including ads, social pages, homepages and.edu/.gov counts, domain diversity over time, month-over-month rank movement, and an icon flagging domains with multiple pages ranking on one term. Target keywords tied to pages and AI on-page recommendations close part of the loop. We found no public information on intent classification, topic clustering, content briefs, or the depth of the German-language data. 3 5 6 8
The Content Strategist
SERP analysis delivers what I commission for: ranking difficulty, monthly SEO clicks with an ad-dollar value for the number-one spot, domain diversity over time, and an icon flagging when one domain runs multiple pages on the same keyword — cannibalisation I can act on. On-page guidance exists as primary and secondary keywords plus AI recommendations for titles, headings and content. We found no public information on search intent classification, topic clustering, content briefs, or the depth of German-market data, which caps an otherwise sharp SERP product. 3 5 6
The Data Analyst
Ranking difficulty, estimated monthly clicks, SERP composition including ads, social and.edu/.gov pages with domain diversity over time, AI on-page recommendations, and competitor keyword export are all documented, and the multiple-pages-per-domain icons hint at cannibalisation. We found no public information on search intent classification or the depth of German-language data, and no topic clustering or content briefs, so the research depth plateaus mid-scale. 3 5 6 11
The Skeptic
Difficulty metrics, estimated monthly clicks, SERP composition including social pages, homepage and.edu/.gov counts and domain diversity over time, plus on-page AI recommendations tied to primary and secondary keywords, are all documented. We found no public information on search intent classification, German-language data depth, topic clustering or keyword gap analysis, which keeps it below the middle band. 3 5 6
Rank tracking & index quality
Show reasoningHide reasoning
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 — No rank tracking and no backlink data; the product is an audit or content tool only.
3 — Rank tracking for chosen keywords in a chosen country, or a backlink checker.
5 — Rank tracking with country, device and update frequency selectable or stated (daily or weekly), local results, and a backlink database with referring domains and new and lost links.
8 — Daily rankings across many locations including city level, SERP feature attribution, backlink index size and refresh frequency published, 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.
The In-House SEO Lead
The index scale is published — over 7.2 trillion results across 152 million domains, with monthly updates and roll-ups and live ranking data — and the scope limit is stated openly: only the top 50 organic and top 23 paid results are collected, which is even used to explain why a site might rank on more terms than they list. That candour is exactly what I need when defending numbers against Search Console. We found no public information on country or device selection, local results or any backlink index, and historical retention is documented only for ads. 7 8 9
The Agency Owner
They publish their index at 7.2 trillion results across 152 million domains with monthly roll-ups, keep historical ads indefinitely, and openly explain their scope limits — top 50 organic and the first two pages of ads — which is the kind of accountability I want from a data vendor. But this is a monthly-collected competitive database: we found no public information on backlink data, daily city-level tracking, or country and device selection. 7 8 9
The Technical SEO
They publish their index — over 7.2 trillion results across 152 million domains — and document the method: Google's own result pages, top 50 organic positions, first two pages of ads, monthly collection, cached SERPs for verification, and an article explaining why a site may show fewer ranking terms than expected. The captured pages give different signals on freshness, describing monthly collection alongside a live-updated ranking display. Cadence is monthly rather than daily, no location or device granularity is documented, and we found no public information on a backlink index. 5 6 7 8 9
The Content Strategist
The vendor publishes its own numbers, which is rare: 7.2 trillion results across 152 million domains, collection capped at the top 50 organic and top 23 paid results per term, monthly roll-ups with live ranking updates, old ads retained indefinitely, and a cached Google page so the collection can be verified. We found no public information on country, device or city-level selection, any backlink index, or full historical export of rankings. 7 8 9
The Data Analyst
They publish their own index size — over 7.2 trillion results across 152 million domains — plus the source (Google's actual SERPs), the collection scope (top 50 organic, top 23 paid), monthly cadence, and retention of historical ads. The cadence is monthly rather than daily, and we found no public information on country or device selection, local results, or any backlink database. 6 7 9
The Skeptic
The vendor publishes its index size (over 7.2 trillion results across 152 million domains), states monthly updates based directly on Google's actual SERPs, states its collection scope of top 50 organic and top 23 paid results, retains historical ads, and explains in a help article why a site may rank on more terms than are listed — accountability for their own data I rarely see. We found no public information on country or device selection, local results, or any backlink index. 6 7 8 9
Reporting, integrations & API
Show reasoningHide reasoning
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 — No reports, exports or integrations of any kind; results can only be viewed on screen.
3 — Reports as PDF or CSV export, and a Google Search Console or analytics connection.
5 — Customisable or scheduled reports, Search Console and Google Analytics integration, and an API or a Looker Studio connector documented.
8 — White-label reporting with client access, data-warehouse or BigQuery export, multi-site and multi-client management, and an API with its limits and 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.
The In-House SEO Lead
Customisable PDF reports with section selection and ready-to-send output, plus a documented, free version 1 API that can reproduce every My SpyFu action programmatically, cover the two things I need for a monthly cycle. We found no public information on scheduled report delivery, white-labelling, Search Console or Google Analytics connections, or published API rate limits and credit costs, so the agency-grade reporting story is not documented. 2 9 10 12
The Agency Owner
Instant ready-to-send PDFs with section selection, keyword export, and a free project-management API that mirrors every My SpyFu action are a workable start for rebilling. We found no public information on white-label branding, scheduled delivery, Search Console or analytics connections, or published API limits — so nothing here evidences a report I could hand a client unedited. 9 10 11 12
The Technical SEO
PDF reports are instant and assembled from sections the user selects on overview pages, keyword exports can be filtered before download, and a free version-one project API exposes My SpyFu actions programmatically. We found no public information on Search Console or analytics integration, scheduled delivery, white-label reporting, or published API limits and credit costs. 9 10 11 12
The Content Strategist
PDF reports are real and configurable, with section checkboxes and a Create Report button on the overview pages, and there is a documented version-one Project Management API that is free to use and claims to expose every My SpyFu action. We found no public information on scheduled or white-label reporting, Search Console or analytics connections, or published API rate limits and credit costs, which keeps this at the middle of the range. 9 10 12
The Data Analyst
PDF reports with selectable sections and a documented, free-to-use version 1 project management API that covers all in-product actions get data out of the tool. We found no public information on Search Console or analytics connections, scheduled report delivery, white-label options, or published API limits and credit costs per endpoint. 9 10 12
The Skeptic
PDF reports with user-selected sections are documented, and the version 1 Project Management API is stated as free to use and able to do anything you can do in My SpyFu programmatically. We found no public information on scheduled reports, white-labelling, Search Console or analytics connections, data-warehouse export, or API rate limits per endpoint. 2 9 10 12
Data portability & exit
Show reasoningHide reasoning
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 — The vendor states that data cannot be exported at all.
3 — CSV or Excel export of the current reports and keyword lists.
5 — Export of rankings, keywords and audit results including historical data, through the interface or an 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.
The In-House SEO Lead
Keyword lists can be exported whole or filtered from the interface, and the project management API gives programmatic access to My SpyFu actions. We found no public information on exporting historical rankings or audit results, on open export formats, or on any retention period after cancellation — for a multi-year subscription that is the part I would need in writing before signing. 11 12
The Agency Owner
Keyword lists export in full or filtered, and the free API covers all My SpyFu actions programmatically, which gives a route to mirror data. We found no public information on exporting full historical rankings or crawl history in open formats, or on any retention period after cancellation — for a multi-year subscription that silence matters. 11 12
The Technical SEO
Keyword lists export in full or filtered through the interface, and the free project API is described as covering anything the My SpyFu interface can do. We found no public information on exporting historical rankings or audit results, on credit costs for export, or on a retention period after cancellation. 11 12
The Content Strategist
Competitor keywords can be exported in full or filtered first, and the free project API gives programmatic access to My SpyFu actions while the account is live, alongside the PDF report output. We found no public information on historical ranking export in open formats, audit-result export, or any retention window after cancellation, so exit remains a manual one-off rather than a designed path. 9 11 12
The Data Analyst
Keyword export with filtering is documented and the API is free to use, which is a start. We found no public information on exporting historical ranking or audit results, and nothing on retention after cancellation — for a multi-year subscription that history is the number I care about most. 11 12
The Skeptic
Export of all or filtered keyword lists and free programmatic API access to My SpyFu actions are documented. We found no public information on export of historical ranking or crawl history, data retention after cancellation, or a grace period, so the archive a multi-year subscription accumulates has no documented exit path. 11 12
European sovereignty
panel opinion
Show reasoningHide reasoning
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. Dimensions the sources do not establish are unknown, not non-EU.
0 — Proven non-EU: a non-EU vendor and contracting entity with hosting stated outside the EU.
3 — One European element proven — an EU contracting entity or EU hosting stated — with the rest of the chain undocumented.
5 — An EU contracting entity and EU hosting both stated, and a data processing agreement offered.
8 — EU hosting on named infrastructure, EU contracting entity, a subprocessor list published with locations, 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.

Pricing transparency
Show reasoningHide reasoning
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 public "from" price or a single tier with its price.
5 — Prices per tier public with the billing period and the main limits (keywords tracked, pages crawled, projects or users) stated.
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.
The In-House SEO Lead
The only pricing statement across the captured pages is that the project management API is free to use; we found no public information on subscription prices, billing periods, keyword or crawl limits, seat costs, overage rates or VAT treatment. A buyer cannot compute an annual invoice from what is public. 1 12
The Agency Owner
The captured pages document that the project-management API is free to use, and that is the whole of the public pricing picture: we found no public information on tier prices, billing periods, keyword or crawl limits, overage rates, VAT treatment or per-seat costs. Running forty sites on licence rebills, I cannot compute an annual invoice from this, and that reads as a margin problem. 1 12
The Technical SEO
The captured pages publish no tier prices, billing periods, or limit-to-price mapping, so a buyer cannot compute an annual cost from them. The only pricing statements found are that the project management API is free to use and that subscribers can add up to 1000 custom keywords a month, neither of which prices a plan. 1 8 12
The Content Strategist
The captured pages describe subscriber-only features such as custom keyword additions of up to 1000 a month and a free-to-use project API, but no plan price, billing period or limit schedule appears anywhere we read. A buyer cannot compute any annual cost from the public pages captured. 1 8 12
The Data Analyst
The only price the captured pages state is that the project management API is free to use. We found no public information on subscription tier prices, billing periods, or how keyword and crawl limits map to cost, so an annual invoice cannot be computed from public pages as captured. 12
The Skeptic
The only cost figure on the captured pages is that the Project Management API is "free to use". We found no public information on subscription tier prices, per-tier keyword or crawl limits, per-seat costs, overage rates or VAT treatment, so a real annual invoice is not computable from public pages. 1 12

Questions about SpyFu
Is SpyFu European?
Not determined: the vendor’s pages as captured do not say where SpyFu is based. Its vendor, SpyFu, is incorporated in United States, per the vendor’s page captured 3 Nov 2026.
Where does SpyFu store data?
SpyFu stores customer data outside the EU by default, per the vendor’s page captured 3 Nov 2026.
Does SpyFu have a free plan?
Not stated on the vendor’s pages as of 3 Nov 2026.
What are the best alternatives to SpyFu?
As of 4 Nov 2026, the panel rates SE Ranking (3.5/5), SISTRIX (3/5) and Semrush (3/5) highest among the other 37 SEO products evaluated. Ratings that look equal are rounded to half stars; the order uses the unrounded rating, then the name. The highest-rated European alternative is SISTRIX (EU-Made). Ratings are the AI panel’s opinion, formed from public evidence: how scores are made. The full list, with European products first: SpyFu alternatives.
Where this could be wrong
- Evidence ages. The oldest capture behind this page is from 3 Nov 2026. Vendors change pricing and policies without notice; every fact reflects its source as of the capture date shown in the registry.
- Weak sourcing — Legal entity. This is a location statement in a privacy policy notice, not an imprint or register entry, and "located" is not an explicit incorporation statement.
- Weak sourcing — Hosting location. The statement is framed as a notice to European users and names no specific server locations or hosting provider.
- AI can misread a source. Extraction and judgement are automated; a citation guarantees traceability, not infallibility. If something here is wrong, say so — no account needed, every report is decided within 5 business days, and accepted corrections are published.
