Pricing

Free: 10 queries per month, no team features

Standard$149/month
Team$399/month
Strengths
  • +Personalized difficulty scores are more honest than generic metrics — a DR 40 site gets different scores than a DR 80 site for the same keyword
  • +Content inventory is rare at this price point — useful for finding decaying posts worth refreshing
  • +GSC integration ties recommendations to pages you already own
Limitations
  • -10 queries/month on the free tier is not enough to do a real content audit — it's barely enough to evaluate the tool
  • -$149/mo jumps sharply from free with no middle tier
  • -The UI takes time to learn — the topical authority map looks impressive but isn't obvious to interpret at first
