Ryte vs. SpyFu

Ryte offers APIs to integrate with a database or other APIs. Ryte suits well scenarios where Ryte is a part of a larger ecosystem. As a user, I appreciate the simplicity of the UI. Ryte can be a little bit slow on huge websites with complex architecture. It is better to think of an accurate approach rather than spamming reports.

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.

• Great for managing risks related to SEO
• Helps in optimizing content on the site
• Easy to build up reports

• 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.

• TF*IDF analysis could go more in the way how Seolyze.com is doing it

• 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.

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.

Really easy to use

They are nice and quick.

SpyFu comes with a link to tutorial videos. I recommend you watch them. The software is capable of so much you really need to watch the videos and learn how to get the most out of it. When I have a question 90% of the time it's there. When it isn't, and I reach out to them, support is always quick and concise.

Quick installation - no IT needed

WooRank is slightly ahead, but the integration with Google Analytics is a real advantage of the solution. The full access to all functionalities in the trail helps to appreciate Ryte. Both UIs are quite the same in terms of designs or user experience.

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 liked the ability to use both in our keyword research for both paid and organic marketing.

• It can be hard to justify the costs Vs returns, specially if you have most of the data available via other tools

• Helping us track our ranking.
• It helps solve the problem of ambiguity when it comes to Google Ads. It makes the strategy more clear.
• You can sift through lots of different online analytics to find the information, but it takes way too long. SpyFu has it all in one place!
