SpyFu vs. Toinsh (discontinued)

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.

Most Suited:

1. Users can gain free experience as start free option is available.
2. Links are shortened quickly, I mean there is no other nonsense fill this or that, etc , i have used another product earlier which took 10-15 min to fill a form after that the link got short.
3. The generated report is well-formatted.
4. Alias name of the link is a great feature

Less suited:

1. API formats for a developer are less flexible.

• 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.

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

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.

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.

In simple words, I can say that Toinsh is a collection of features that are offered by two different software AppsFlyer for branded links data gathering and Bitly or TinyURL for link shortening. If you have both of those use cases and do not want to purchase high-end and high-priced software you can go for Toinsh. in summary, it is "Best of both worlds but some limitations"
