Botify vs. SurferSEO

Botify is great for large websites because the crawler can handle millions of pages and a ton of data. If your site only has a couple thousand or hundred thousand pages, there are probably cheaper tools that can be used to crawl your site and you may not need as much in-depth reporting.

Surfer is well suited for:

• Creating (and resisting) articles and web pages to increase their SEO relevancy for a keyword.
• To identify NLP terms and the frequency of terms to be added to the page
• To find internal linking opportunities
• To plan pillar pages/topic clusters

Surfer is not a tool for

• Technical SEO
• Crawl Audits
• Serp / Keyword Tracking
• Project Management

• AI Writing: This is a new feature, and in comparison to alternatives it's poor both from a pricing and result perspective
• Monthly Pricing: Surfer used to a clear value for money solution, it's somewhat pricing out solo-operators with the current pricing model
• Backlinks: Surfer does have a backlink crawler, but it's quite limited

Screaming Frog can't handle a crawl of our entire site because it is too large and would crash your computer. DeepCrawl's reports weren't as in-depth and didn't have as much functionality as Botify

Frase gives a lot of content to use, but it doesn't give you the factors you need to rank. This is ultimately why we use SurferSEO over any other editor tool that is out there. The analytics are number one to the entire space.

• Decreased duplicate content
• Assisted with website migrations

• Surfer has been a key tool in the past to help us rank many clients
