Considered Both Products
Authoritas
Chose Authoritas
If price isn't a factor, Analytics SEO doesn't stack up very well to competitors like Majestic, Moz, and SEMRush. If we consider pricing, however, I would say that this tool is one of the best, if not the very best, out there. This tool is extremely powerful for how much it …
Semrush
Chose Semrush
I've reviewed a number of tools, and continue to periodically. Semrush easily wins for the breadth of coverage, and it does them well. Some tools designed for a single task win in those tasks, but none compare overall.
Some other tools I've looked at are:
Authoritas
Chose Semrush
Semrush is the widest-reaching tool with the most features, however, I find the keyword and SERP reliability can be a little off fairly often, especially when algorithm updates are concerned. Generally, though the tool is the best all-rounder and offers the widest breadth of …

Analytics SEO (t/a Authoritas)
I think there are a lot of better tools out there, functionality and design-wise, as well as pricing. Authoritas is a simple tool and is suitable for small businesses. If you're a more prominent company, using more enterprise tools is best. This suffices if you're looking for a tool that gives you basic data on your site.

This is suited to plan for keywords in a single market, but it struggles when you need to consolidate several markets. It is well-suited to discover new keywords directly related to the ones being used currently to expand the content the company is creating to get better results.

  • Extra seats can be expensive, as [an] agency with multiple team members this can be frustrating
  • Backlink data is not great, misses out a lot of backlinks (better off using a specialist backlink tool like Link research tools LRT)
  • Tracking multiple keywords, across multiple clients can be costly

Usability
Analytics SEO (t/a Authoritas)
It's a pretty simple dashboard. Simple UI/UX. It's not particularly fun and engaging compared to other tools out in the market, but it gets the job done. It's good for the basics only. This tool will fit your needs if you have multiple websites and or are an agency.

The interface is a little less intuitive than it could be. The data is often available but filtering and manipulating the data can be a little difficult at times. Expanded comparisons would be helpful since most of the time seeing more than a few competitors at a time allows for a better sense of how to forecast.

I'm in a FB group for Semrush paid users and it amazing! They are fast to respond, take suggestions and help with questions. I have not felt alone in using this product at all. Highly recommend their support team. When I had an issue I can jump into the group and they will help get me the right person to help or even tag their programmers to look at something that is going on. Love the group!

Alternatives Considered
Analytics SEO (t/a Authoritas)
I prefer SE Ranking as it tracks mobile, and has a separate competition analysis that works on old domains whereas Authoritas the site has to be live to get any results. It depends on your requirements as an agency probably does not research as much as an affiliate marketer as example.

We have used both Ahrefs and Semrush extensively at our agency and Semrush remains the tool of choice. We find that Semrush has the largest selection of tools & features to use, with the highest accuracy, and provides top-tier analysis recommendations. It's really is the ultimate all-in-one tool when comparing other performance measurement tools in the digital marketing space.
