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

The Skeptic

Weighted verdict

Knows every vendor claims the largest index and the most accurate rankings, and that no buyer can check either. Reads instead for what can be held to: refresh frequency, stated limits, credit costs per endpoint, and what the invoice does when the team adds a seat.

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

Scored by The Skeptic

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 Skeptic

The onpage tool states real page caps per plan (50,000 rising to 500,000, with paid extensions published) and checks HTTP headers, images, click depth, duplicate content and pagespeed via YSLOW and Google Pagespeed, with a JavaScript crawler the pricing page itself flags as an unlimited beta. The Advisor delivers prioritised to-dos, which is more than a bare list. We found no public information on log-file analysis, indexation or canonical diagnosis against Search Console data, or structured-data validation — the diagnostic layer that would lift this above a well-equipped checklist. 2 5 9

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 Skeptic

Keyword research carries search volume, cost per click, competitor density and current position across 197 countries including Bing and Yandex, plus user questions with relevance scoring, filters for keywords poised near page one and longtail terms, and a planner for grouping and labelling. The SERP analysis page explains how content should look to compete in the top ten, and text optimisation compares term frequencies against those top ten results. We found no public information on topic clustering, cannibalisation detection or SERP composition tracked over time. 5 6 7

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 Skeptic

Rankings are queried daily or weekly at the customer's choice across 197 countries with organic, local, mobile and universal monitoring, and desktop/mobile/tablet live checks — that is a stated frequency and stated granularity I can hold anyone to. The API documentation confirms the search engines are crawled weekly, the only refresh cadence on public record. We found no public information on backlink index size, city-level tracking, lost-and-found link detection or how long historical rankings are retained. 5 6 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 Skeptic

White-label reporting with customer branding, colours and fonts, unlimited reports, weekly or monthly automated PDF delivery, and Google Analytics, Search Console and Matomo as data sources — the agency story is documented, and read-only customer accounts are part of Business and Enterprise. The API is documented with JSON and XML output, a 1000-result limit, pagination, and even fetches generated report PDFs. The error catalogue reveals a credit system ("cost error" when credits run out) and an API add-on appears in the booking list, yet we found no public information on credit costs per endpoint, nor any data-warehouse export such as BigQuery. 2 9 10 11

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 Skeptic

Onpage findings can be exported as the list of affected URLs, and the API returns keyword and report data in JSON or XML with pagination. We found no public information on bulk export of ranking or crawl history, on API access sufficient to mirror the account, or on any retention period after cancellation. The one thing a multi-year subscription actually accumulates — the history — has no documented exit. 5 10 11

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 Skeptic

The operating company is WebPros Germany GmbH in Cologne with a Cologne commercial register entry, and the privacy policy names subprocessors (HubSpot and Zendesk in the USA, AEB in Stuttgart) while explaining transfers under the Data Privacy Framework and standard contractual clauses. But the central data-rights entity for the group is WebPros International GmbH in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, with group companies in the USA, India, Japan, the UK, New Zealand and Canada. We found no public information on where the account and crawl data are actually hosted. 3 4

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 Skeptic

All three plan prices are public (XOVI PRO 99€/Monat, XOVI BUSINESS 149,00 €/Monat, XOVI ENTERPRISE 499 €/Monat), VAT treatment is stated at 19% on top, and the add-on catalogue is unusually open: crawl extensions from 29,90€ mtl. to 299,90€ mtl., keyword packages from 20,00€ mtl. to 175,00€ mtl., parallel processing at 29,90€ mtl. and the AI add-on at €29,00/Monat. The invoice is still not computable end to end: further accounts are "jederzeit kostenpflichtig zubuchbar" with no price published, we found no public information on the keyword quota included in each plan, and API credits are metered without published costs. We also found no public information on minimum contract terms. 2 5 6 9

European sovereignty — proven facts

1 of 4 dimensions proven

Built only from facts shown on the vendor's own pages. A dimension we could not prove is left open, not scored as zero.

Legal entity	Incorporated in DE ⚠ unverified	3/3 pts	3 Report an error
Ownership	Not determined ⚠ unverified	—	uncited Report an error
Data residency	Not determined	—	uncited Report an error
Subprocessors	Not determined ⚠ unverified	—	uncited Report an error

Where this could be wrong

Evidence ages. The oldest capture behind this page is from 2 Sep 2026. Vendors change pricing and policies without notice; every fact reflects its source as of the capture date shown in the registry.
Weak sourcing — Ownership, Subprocessors. Not confirmed on the vendor’s own pages as captured.
Weak sourcing — Legal entity. The imprint names no country word, so DE is derived from the German commercial register entry (Registergericht Köln, HRB) and the Köln address; the operating legal entity is WebPros Germany GmbH, not XOVI GmbH itself.
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.
