Considered Both Products	gShift (discontinued) Tyler Heaps Director of Marketing Chose gShift (discontinued) They are very different tools can't compare them. Incentivized Helpful? Brandon Kenig Marketing Director Chose gShift (discontinued) gShift is more user-friendly and intuitive, particularly for sharing access with members across your organization who do not have the same level of digital marketing savvy.

Serpstat Dustin Day Director of UX development, social media and SEO/SEM Chose Serpstat Serpstat in comparison to a lot of the SEO tools (analysis, testing, tracking, reports, etc.) is a great all in one tool that delivers useful information and is regularly updated. In many cases Serpstat blows the competition away, or works well in unison with the competition. I … Incentivized Helpful? Michał Pliszka Owner Chose Serpstat I used Labrik for audits. For me, Serpstat has more functions and is friendlier to use. Incentivized Helpful? Lisa Sicard Content Manager / Consultant Chose Serpstat I selected Serpstat because it offered a lot of things like SEMRush but for half the money and it offered more than Ubersuggest had been offering. I also loved the support service I received from Serpstat. They get back to you quickly and have answers to your questions. They … Incentivized Helpful? Armand Panganiban Managing Editor Chose Serpstat Serpstat is a great SEO reporting tool on its own that I primarily use for reporting and as an additional reference. The other tools that I use are also good but serve a different purpose. For example, Squirrly and Yoast are WordPress plugins for easy adjustments of onsite … Incentivized Helpful? Newaz Chowdhury Marketing Executive Chose Serpstat Serpstat is a full-service SEO tool with PPC features. Includes on-page and off-page technical elements. Not many tools focus on all features. Most focus on specific niches. Serpstat features all aspects of marketing. Organic and PPC ads. It's very feature-rich. Incentivized Helpful? Drew Harrison Software Engineer Chose Serpstat Moz and Ahrefs are each behemoth in their own right and are certainly two of the top SEO tool companies in the market. While they may outperform Serpstat as far as data goes, Serpstat does offer a lot of features and functionality at a fraction of the price. I would love to … Incentivized Helpful? Evan Laird Senior Growth Marketing Manager Chose Serpstat Serpstat is what I would consider a poor man's SEMRush. Although Serpstat is still a great tool, I feel like it's data (especially in competitive research, and PPC research) isn't as accurate or in-depth as SEMRush. Serpstat is much cheaper which makes it a worthwhile tool for … Incentivized Helpful? Gary Shouldis Founder & CEO Chose Serpstat We chose Serpstat over other SEO tools because of its an all-in-one toolset as well as having a clean, easy to use UI. The price point was also a deciding factor since we were able to do the majority of our SEO research using a single tool with a single monthly subscription. Incentivized Helpful? Sam Lepak Head of Digital Marketing Chose Serpstat Compared to the expensive SEMRush, Serpstat is definitely worth the price of $15-$20/month. I'm able to perform nearly all the keyword research and pull similar data that I'm able to as SEMRush without paying a $100/month for it. Serpstat also delivers extremely relevant … Incentivized Helpful? Joe Gatto VP of Marketing & International Business Development Chose Serpstat Serpstat is much cheaper than other SEO tools & just as good. It's the ideal tool for someone who needs more than the free SEO tool, but cannot afford Moz, etc. Any business that does content marketing needs a tool like this, and Serpstat is perfect for small businesses because … Incentivized Helpful? Dragan Nikolic Contributor Chose Serpstat Serpstat is right there with the best SEO tools right now. Their support is great and they're very enthusiastic with new features added every month.

Mitch Lee SEO Manager Chose Serpstat Serpstat is up there with the list of industry products, but fails to outshine them. All of the industry tools do the same thing, but each tool has their own features and differentiation that set them apart from one another. Serpstat seems to be the simple or generic version, … Incentivized Helpful? Tim Mack Founder and Ring Master Chose Serpstat I have used Google analytics and found it to be good, but limiting.

User Testimonials
	gShift (discontinued)	Serpstat
Likelihood to Recommend	I have recommended gShift to everyone on my team at work and those who have started to use it have been very happy with the application. It saves a lot of time and makes it so I don't have to have so many tabs or other applications open. It brings a lot of items into once place which is very nice! Incentivized Tyler Heaps Director of Marketing Read full review	Recently switching domains provided a lot of headaches for our marketing team. However, with Serpstat we were able to locate all our broken links and contact all the editors to be able to update our link. This alone took us from a DR of 25 to 34. Another practical use was for researching keyword volume for our on-page SEO - title tags and meta descriptions. With Serpstat we were able to determine keywords were worthy of us using in these values. Incentivized Sam Lepak Head of Digital Marketing Read full review
Pros	Bringing most of your applications to one platform. Managing Gmail Accounts. Bringing all your communication channels to one spot. Easy setup and account integration. Incentivized Tyler Heaps Director of Marketing Read full review	Keyword data provided for multiple sites: this is a standard feature in lots of SEO toolsets. It's not the worst, but not the best. Backlink data: the link data is ok, but suffers from the same issue as the keyword data. If you pay for 100 results per report, expect ONLY 100. Rank tracking: the rank tracking is also standard. It does a good job of benchmarking progress. Incentivized Mitch Lee SEO Manager Read full review
Cons	Minor bugs and defects are an ongoing issue - for example, PDF export capability for custom dashboards seems to be down frequently. While these type of defects are always resolved in 1-2 weeks, the fact that some of them keep reoccurring is an ongoing frustration. Custom Dashboard functionality is limited to pre-set defaults as far as what data points or "beacons" as gShift calls them, that you could pull. Incentivized Brandon Kenig Marketing Director Read full review	The daily query limit is sometimes frustrating. For a new person the menu system could be a bit confusing along with terminology, it would be great if there was little help icons next to each selection to help you better understand what they do. Incentivized Tim Mack Founder and Ring Master Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	No answers on this topic	I am very happy with the program and their services. Incentivized Lisa Sicard Content Manager / Consultant Read full review
Usability	No answers on this topic	Serpstat is great to use on the desktop. Being able to get around the site is easy, and using tools such as rank tracking and filtering are intuitive if you’ve used other SEO software. However, their app is not mobile friendly. I do a lot of my work on mobile when traveling or when dad’ing, and it would be much appreciated for the the app to have better mobile UI functionality. I know I’m dreaming, but other SEO software I use is able to accomplish this. Things like filtering and how powerful it is are not aa easy to understand until you watch some tutorial videos. I think making this feature more intuitive would also help the sites early on adoption from new users. Incentivized Dustin Day Director of UX development, social media and SEO/SEM Read full review
Support Rating	No answers on this topic	I believe I've only contacted support once because I had a question about access to a feature, and they told me it wasn't available on the plan I was on. No big deal, they were polite and prompt to respond and answered my question to my satisfaction. I haven't had any real issues with the software, so I haven't needed much in the way of support outside of that question, but I have no reason to believe their support wouldn't be helpful in more pressing situations.

Alternatives Considered	gShift is more user-friendly and intuitive, particularly for sharing access with members across your organization who do not have the same level of digital marketing savvy. Additionally, gShift integrates reporting for web analytics, search visibility, social metrics, and PPC in one platform and one reporting tool in a way that the other providers do not. Incentivized Brandon Kenig Marketing Director Read full review	We chose Serpstat over other SEO tools because of its an all-in-one toolset as well as having a clean, easy to use UI. The price point was also a deciding factor since we were able to do the majority of our SEO research using a single tool with a single monthly subscription. Incentivized Gary Shouldis Founder & CEO Read full review
Return on Investment	We have been able to identify other keyword ranking opportunities and increase our on-site conversion rate. gShift has helped us prioritize content and discover content that is over-performing, and better optimize that content and use it for remarketing purposes. Incentivized Brandon Kenig Marketing Director Read full review	Serpstat has allowed us to confidently suggest keywords and SEO friendly updates to clients to implement Serpstat reporting has saved us time when delivering reports to clients Serpstat app integrations allows our other data sources and Serpstat data to be combined to create Reportz (app) for client delivery Serpstat is one of the first places I go to check organic words for content ideas and places to improve our SEO Incentivized Dustin Day Director of UX development, social media and SEO/SEM Read full review
