OpenSEO is cheap at $10 per month, but the meter runs on DataForSEO data. A ChatGPT brand check costs about $1.09, so heavy AI-visibility use can exceed the included $10 quickly, and requests error until you top up. The trial credit is only $0.50, which covers a few lookups, an active subscription is required even to use top-ups, and data quality depends on a third-party provider.
The alternatives in our catalog are general assistants rather than SEO data tools. Perplexity lists an Education Pro plan at 10 USD per user, but only for verified students and faculty, plus a free option. Claude Pro is 20 USD per user with a free plan, and ChatGPT Plus (consumer) is 20 USD per user, also with a free plan. They can analyse data you give them but will not pull keyword or backlink numbers by themselves.
"Better suited" below is based on documented features and pricing from our verified profiles, not on a head-to-head test. Prices are USD as published by each vendor.
Taken from the documented limitations in our OpenSEO profile.
| Tool | Starting price | Free tier | Platforms | Main limitation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| OpenSEO (this page) | $10/mo (Base Plan) | No | Web, API | Usage is metered on DataForSEO data, so heavy features such as ChatGPT brand checks at about $1.09 each can exceed the included $10 quickly. |
| Perplexity | $10/mo (Education Pro (consumer, verified students/faculty)) | Yes | Web, API | The consumer pricing page is blocked to automated checks, so the Pro price could not be confirmed here, and free-tier Pro Search and Research access are described only as 'very limited' / 'limited'. |
| Claude | $20/mo (Pro) | Yes | Web, Desktop, Mobile, API | Alle Tarife haben Nutzungslimits, die sich nach einem Zeitplan zurücksetzen; das bezahlte Chat-Abonnement enthält keinen API-Zugang, der separat pro Token abgerechnet wird. |
| ChatGPT | $20/mo (Plus (consumer)) | Yes | Web, Desktop, Mobile, API | Fast jedes Tool (Uploads, Bilder, Sprache, Deep Research, Codex) hat tarifabhängige Nutzungsgrenzen, die sich laut OpenAI im Laufe der Zeit ändern können, und die API wird getrennt von jedem ChatGPT-Abo abgerechnet. |
