Considered Multiple Products	Majestic SEO Todd Moss Senior SEO Strategist Chose Majestic SEO SEMRush, Moz, Ahrefs. All of these tools have their place and they all are very good. I can't really compare Majestic to any of them as I have very specific uses of Majestic. If I had to pick one tool to use for the rest of my SEO career it would probably be SEMRush. If I could … Incentivized Helpful? Scott Richardson Co Founder and SEO Consultant Chose Majestic SEO Majestic is #2 on my list. SEMRush is my favorite because of its breadth of scope.

SEMRush is better in terms of keyword tracking, SEO Audits, PPC analysis, … Incentivized Helpful? Aaron Metzger Founder Chose Majestic SEO Most of the SEO platforms have their own unique features. Majestic really focuses on backlinks, which is arguably the most important aspect of SEO. It is not a full-feature platform such as Moz or SEMRush, but they are the best in backlinks. Majestic fits in any large-scale SEO … Incentivized Helpful? Sean Pomory Owner Chose Majestic SEO Majestic is best used in conjunction with a tool like Moz and SEMRush. Although it can be used by itself, it is difficult to work with unless you really know what you're looking for and how to use that data when you find it. Incentivized Helpful? Ramon Khan Online Marketing Director \| Business Develoment Chose Majestic SEO Majestic has features that most of their competitors don't. The backlink index is better than SEMRush in my opinion which also lacks being able to look at links from a range of dates.

Ksenia Newton Digital Marketing Manager Chose Majestic SEO Majestic was the tool the company was using when I came on board. And I think in the future, they'll have to pick a different more versatile tool that completes a variety of tasks. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Strategist Chose Majestic SEO Majestic has the biggest index of backlinks. Also, it's list of parameters for backlinks is the biggest, which makes filtering backlinks a lot easier. Finally, Majestic has Bulk Backlink Checker, which saver a lot of time when checking backlinks of freelance link builders. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User C-Level Executive Chose Majestic SEO We use Majestic SEO as the main tool for getting backlink data. Moz is a competitor that we also use but for a different purpose. With Majestic SEO we get a lot more accurate link numbers, where we use Moz for its rank tracker and metrics like Domain Authority. Moz doesn't … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User General Manager Chose Majestic SEO Ahrefs Site Explorer comes pretty close to Majestic SEO. I always used both the tools in parallel as some features were better in Ahrefs. But if you are looking for a cheaper tool and don't use the backlink research tool so often, go for one of the plans from Majestic SEO. Incentivized Helpful? Rahul Agarwal Digital Strategy Consultant Chose Majestic SEO I would say Ahrefs does somehow a better job in terms of data quality, ease of use and intuitiveness. Majestic SEO surely follows Ahrefs on the second position as per my opinion. Majestic SEO has a huge potential for improvement when it comes to the way tool portrays … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Director Chose Majestic SEO Majestic SEO is definitely the top notch product for link analysis and no other tool beats Majestic SEO. Incentivized Helpful? Mackinley Levine Asst. Editor and SEO Analyst Chose Majestic SEO Majestic SEO lacks some of the features of SEMRush and MOZ, but these features are simply not what the software focuses on (or even claims to focus on). Majestic's all about the crawl--from what I've seen (and I've compared monthly crawl data provided by these other platforms … Helpful?	Semrush Kyle Crocker Online Marketing Analyst Chose Semrush We have used a few similar products to SEMrush at different points. Generally the breadth of information in SEMrush is one of the biggest reasons to use it. If your focus is more specific on SEO Moz Pro might be a better choice. If you are exclusively focused on SEM/PPC it … Incentivized Helpful? Austin Voigt Senior Analyst - Paid Media Chose Semrush SEMRush is definitely better than SpyFu in terms of the amount of data you get, the detail of the data, and the accuracy of the data.

AH Annie Hathaway Sr. Manager, Digital Marketing Chose Semrush Compared to Moz: SEMRush is more down to the nitty-gritty. Less fluff. Compared to SpyFu: SEMRush has more functionality and is easier to use.

Verified User Account Manager Chose Semrush Semrush is nice and working on integrating more SEM. It still does not have as many reporting features for SEM as RavenTools, but you can tell they are working on it. It has more features than SpyFu or BrightLocal. Although I like BrightLocal's interface a little better, … Incentivized Helpful? Dragan Berak Head of SEO Chose Semrush For me, Semrush has a good UX and is a trustworthy source of organic traffic data. When compared to other tools, they sometimes could be pretty much off when I observe data in Google Search Console and Google Analytics. That's why I think Semrush does a pretty good job for any … Incentivized Helpful? Jeremy Kiner Executive Director Chose Semrush Better value overall. [Semrush] at the end of the day was better suited for our needs. Incentivized Helpful? Dave Davies CEO (Chief Executive Officer) 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 Incentivized Helpful? Tony Wright (tony.wright@wrightimc.com) CEO/Founder Chose Semrush Semrush gives us all the data we need in one dashboard. It works much better than using many different tools.

Andrew Shotland CEO Chose Semrush In general SEMRush is a great value compared to most of these tools, particularly the very expensive "enterprise" tools. Helpful? Jorge Jaramillo SEO Chose Semrush I alternate several tools. But for example, I used to use Moz and Ahrefs, now I only use Semrush for technical issues.

AB alexander Buckingham-bullock Digital Project Manager 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.

I work with Screaming Frog, Moz, Hrefs, and MajesticSEO. None of them touch the comprehensive capabilities of SEMRush, especially for competitor analysis. SEMRush handles more than just SEO and SEM, but all things combined. Definitely a … Incentivized Helpful? Scott Richardson Co Founder and SEO Consultant Chose Semrush SEMRush blows them all away with the exception of Ahrefs. I think these two are the undisputed kings of SEO tools. Majestic is also an amazing tool - and I use it alongside SEMRush - but it's not as good with several of the key things I use SEMRush for. Ahrefs is also very … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Employee Chose Semrush SEMRush has more limited functionality than some of the full-suite options like BrightEdge and Searchmetrics, but the tool is more affordable and still performs to our expectations. We find it to be a good medium-use tool, and combined with some additional keyword-tracking … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Manager Chose Semrush The reason why I like SEMRush is that you get some of the best webinars in the business and it's really many software combined in one. They also keep adding beta features so they keep improving the software. Incentivized Helpful? Brice Delhome SEO Consultant Chose Semrush I used Botify, Oncrawl, Searchmetrics, MyPOSEO, XENU, ScreamingFrog, website Auditor, Link Assistant, GTmetrix, ahref, Majestic... Every tool listed above is useful (except Searchmetrix). SEMrush is just one tool which is necessary, such as Oncrawl or Xenu. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User C-Level Executive Chose Semrush The only alternative that comes to my mind is Ahrefs. However, Ahrefs is more expensive compared to SEMrush. SEMrush is much more keyword specific tool so I believe for our purposes SEMrush is better option. Pricing also plays a role because Ahrefs has a lot more options that … Incentivized Helpful? Rahul Agarwal Digital Strategy Consultant Chose Semrush SEMRush has a much stronger position when you compare it to other alternatives. The reason being that there are only a few tools that provide an overall service including both SEO and SEM. Also, the fact that it allows competitor analysis and a side by side analysis of KPIs … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Analyst Chose Semrush I like the UI of SEM Rush and the support. Incentivized Helpful?	SpyFu Chandler Elmore Digital Marketing Account Manager Chose SpyFu SpyFu is less robust than SEMRush in a lot of ways. Its keyword tool for example severely lags behind SEMRush. However, SEMRush does not have a solid PPC insight tool like SpyFu. This is reason alone to use both instead of just using SEMRush. We also see that SpyFu does a … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Partner Chose SpyFu I would say that SEMRush is the main competitor. I have used both, and I think they are both great platforms. Incentivized Helpful? Jack Pennuto Senior Vice President Chose SpyFu As an independent company working on our own behalf, SpyFu seemed like a better fit than SEMRush, which appears to be geared more towards agencies or consultants. Additionally, SpyFu offers a lot more features than Linkody, which will be beneficial in the long term. Incentivized Helpful? Rachel Hensley Marketing Chose SpyFu I prefer SpyFu to SEMRush because, for a free version, SpyFu gives more information and has a better, easier to use interface. SpyFu also doesn't give you a max amount of times you are able to view it on the free version which I love and also use often. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Director Chose SpyFu SpyFu is a better choice for competitive intelligence. SEMRush is better for running advanced SEO reports on a domain. Incentivized Helpful? Austin Voigt Manager - Paid Media Chose SpyFu SpyFu is definitely a lower-cost, more simplistic, easier-to-use, less robust tool compared to SEMRush. However, they provide similar information in similar ways. I would say for the serious, large business looking to invest in a hardy tool, SEMRush is great. For the smaller … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Consultant Chose SpyFu Personally, the only tool I use as often as SEMRush. If you have the SEMRush paid version, I personally choose to use that over SpyFu.

BM Bill Martin Director of Search Chose SpyFu It is comparable with SEMRush and others Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Employee Chose SpyFu It isn't fair to compare these two tools overall.

When looking strictly at the shared tools from both companies (the competitor keyword tools), they stack … Incentivized Helpful? Jake Hundley CEO (Chief Executive Officer) Chose SpyFu When it comes to assessing the competition, SpyFu is fantastic. I prefer its competitor analysis features much more than SEMRush or any other platform out there. That is what I use SpyFu for. Regarding reporting and integrations, it doesn't quite seem like it's the best option … Incentivized Helpful? JK Jonathan Kagan VP Chose SpyFu Currently we actively use Semrush and Similar Web, along side SpyFu. To be honest, the platforms are fairly interchangeable. Each one has one or two unique things that the other doesn't have. None of it is totally earth shattering. So often it comes down to price, and SpyFu is … Incentivized Helpful? EV Elias Van Son Sr. Paid Search Specialist Chose SpyFu I spent years exclusively using Semrush for this kind of competitor PPC data, and have used Moz in the past on several occasions. I feel that SpyFu is more well-rounded and provides deeper insights than these other products, and honestly, it's just more updated as well. Easier … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Director Chose SpyFu SpyFu has what we needed from Semrush, and Spyfu is more reasonably priced. Spyfu does not have some of the higher level and specific tools, but is great for the price. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Professional Chose SpyFu Spyfu fails to hit the mark at least when it comes to SEO since both Ahrefs and Semrush has a bigger directory and fetches data from more countries than Spyfu does, however Spyfu offers a great deal when it comes to cost effective solution to almost every digital marketing … Incentivized Helpful? Lisa Arrington Digital Marketing Manager Chose SpyFu Compared to Semrush or Ahrefs, neither of the competitors stacks up against SpyFu in terms of competitor insight of paid ad performance. It can even identify specific ad copy changes, which can be crucial for high-demand periods like Black Friday. In my opinion, SpyFu is an … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Executive Chose SpyFu I was surprised to find I preferred Semrush when it comes to keyword research. SpyFu is great (and less expensive than Semrush), but I felt the data Semrush provided was vaster than SpyFu. I was able to get more competitors spending insights in Semrush than SpyFu. Overall, I … Incentivized Helpful? Rohit Langde Marketing Manager Chose SpyFu SpyFu is more cost-effective than both (Ahrefs and Semrush), but we have to compromise on the data's accuracy. However, the data reporting and user interface of SpyFu make it easy to decipher. For Paid Ads keyword lookup, we prefer SpyFu to any other tool maybe, because it's … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Project Manager Chose SpyFu It's a great little tool that offers pretty much everything you can get from Moz or Semrush at a fraction of the cost. My company uses a few different tools but I always come back to SpyFu because it is so easy to use and their build-in reporting is great. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Manager Chose SpyFu I've used Semrush as well. Semrush does organic SEO analysis better than SpyFu and backlink research. I find the data more intuitive. I much prefer SpyFu for their advertising/PPC analysis and use SpyFu when researching competitors' advertising campaigns. These are the main two … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Consultant Chose SpyFu I use Ahrefs for Site audit, Keyword Research, Backlink analysis, and some parts of competitor analysis. SpyFu I always wanted to keep primary, but it's not doable with the limitation of their database, which forces me to use Ahrefs for that reason. Helpful? Tyler Heaps Director of Marketing Chose SpyFu SpyFu offers the best keyword research platform out there. I have used this for many companies that are still using this tool today. It's always been one of my first marketing software recommendations to companies I work with. For those who understand digital marketing such as … Incentivized Helpful?

Angela Lyons, MBA Marketing Manager Chose SpyFu Other tools I looked at were too expensive and too confusing. Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	Majestic SEO	Semrush	SpyFu
Likelihood to Recommend	Majestic SEO Majestic is a really great tool if your company is spending considerable resources on ongoing SEO efforts. In general, Majestic isn't for beginner SEO users, but a more advanced tool to get into deep SEO tactics. I would recommend this for agencies that have a significant investment in SEO. If you're a small team or a small business looking to improve SEO for yourself or company, there are platforms that offer a variety of tools for new to moderate expertise. Incentivized Aaron Metzger Founder Read full review	Semrush 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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	SpyFu If you have a Google ads PPC campaign and then I would say this is more or less essential if you want to know what your competitors are doing. You can get very useful data out of it even if you subscribe for one month. And the pricing is very reasonable. Even if you don't use Google ads, I would say this is still useful for your SEO/SMO team since it gives you a great idea of what keywords and traffic your competitors are working on. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Majestic SEO I like Majestic's own metrics Trust and Citation flow, that are very representative of the real value of the website and it's potential effect on the rankings of the website it's linking to. Also, theme (topic) of the website is very useful in the backlink report. This allows to easily identify backlinks relevant to your business. The index of number of backlinks that is provided by Majestic is usually a lot bigger than the indexes of their competitors. Lost link tracker is very useful for tracking dropped links of your projects (you can verify and track multiple domains). This allows to keep track on how many of your ads and articles stay live and sometimes we contact publishers to tell them that their changes on the website (i.e. updates) caused our article or link to go down. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Semrush Great visuals for keyword position tracking, love that you can see the page that is ranking Enjoyed the auto-generated reporting feature (specifically in the context of keyword position tracking) Shows many different and useful views for competitive research Great templated keyword research tools for those who are not as hands-on with SEO I LOVE the Keyword Magic Tool for honing in on longtail, high-opportunity keywords Katie Wojciechowski SEO Copywriter Read full review	SpyFu Keeping a tab on competitors organic and inorganic activities Helps identify where the competitor is getting the backlinks from. Identify competitors top content and the keywords that's bringing them traffic Get proper information of their current and past ADS run on Google. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Majestic SEO Its API for developers and big companies sometime don't give the actual data. Rank tracker is not 100% accurate, but you can create a rough estimate by the report. Backlink history is also missing some links, but I found them mostly. Sometimes site explorer does not give the actual report, so you should check manually too. Incentivized Shashank Pathak Internet Marketing Analyst Read full review	Semrush 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 Daniel Drummond Head of Digital Marketing Read full review	SpyFu As with any database, their keyword database has limits, so the data returned is relative to their database, not necessarily the full picture. When SpyFu database or scoring chances, the data provided can spike, thus causing confusion among stakeholders, we're reporting to. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Majestic SEO Once you've grown accustomed to the depth and accuracy of Majestic's crawl, it's hard to consider paying for anything else (or settling for free options). SEMRush and MOZ can get you somewhere, but in the right hands, a tool as powerful as Majestic can do a lot for a business's link building strategy. Mackinley Levine Asst. Editor and SEO Analyst Read full review	Semrush I [previously] used Semrush for many years and I cannot find any other tool being so complete and easy to use. Incentivized PB Perrine Bettinelli Online marketing assistant Read full review	SpyFu Love this tool but would like insights from all 3 major search engines not just Google. I would also like deeper understanding of the placement for local businesses on Google Places/Maps. Insight into mobile search rankings and best landing pages per industry would also help :) Overall, SpyFu is a necessity for serious search marketers. Chris Romero SEM Manager Read full review
Usability	Majestic SEO No answers on this topic	Semrush 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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	SpyFu SpyFu is an easy to use tool, and has a self -explanatroy dashborad to generate the data needed to provide insights into any B2B SEO and PPC campaign. It is not comprehensive, but it certainly provides good enough insight to make it a valuable part of any agency tool stack Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review

Support Rating	Majestic SEO In started when our team started to use this tool, we had trouble understanding many of its features, so its customer support team was our teacher to understand all its complicated features and also how they are used to get better results. Nowadays we are working very efficiently without any help. Incentivized Nisha Saxena Digital Marketing Manager Read full review	Semrush 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.

Alternatives Considered	Majestic SEO Majestic has features that most of their competitors don't. The backlink index is better than SEMRush in my opinion which also lacks being able to look at links from a range of dates. Their metrics are harder to fool when compared to Moz and I would say that AHREF's is a good competitor but each company keeps their own index of links so its good to use more than one tool Incentivized Ramon Khan Online Marketing Director \| Business Develoment Read full review	Semrush 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. Incentivized Joshua Poole SEO Manager Read full review	SpyFu I was surprised to find I preferred Semrush when it comes to keyword research. SpyFu is great (and less expensive than Semrush), but I felt the data Semrush provided was vaster than SpyFu. I was able to get more competitors spending insights in Semrush than SpyFu.

Return on Investment	Majestic SEO ROI is difficult to ascertain in healthcare marketing, mostly due to privacy laws. Although, Majestic has improved our insight into our digital content, giving us data to work with on the primary site, which has led to an overall increase in organic search. Incentivized Sean Pomory Owner Read full review	Semrush Using Semrush on behalf of our clients, we have seen some impressive growth in organic visibility, traffic, conversion and revenue, across multiple industries.
