Chose Similarweb
The ability to have the lion's share of data I need under one dashboard is a time-saver. Collating data from multiple places makes the process cumbersome. Similarweb solves this problem for me.

Similarweb provides a more holistic approach to digital intelligence than SEMRush or Ahrefs. While both SEMRush and Ahrefs are great for SEO/Keyword analysis, they lack the robustness and additional intelligence that Similarweb provides

Similarweb PRO has the best paid vs organic data splits, but data.ai gets more into the app front.

It is a single-use tool: it tests mobile usability of a website or code snippet. This is useful before, during, and after the development process. So, if you are developing a website, then the mobile-friendliness tool is a necessity. Its also useful (in conjunction with Page Speed Insights and Search Console) in developing a full idea of site performance and how it relates to SEO.

Cons
  • Google does not cross-check the results from other search engines in the creation of the tool. Bing and Yahoo might not consider your website mobile-friendly, even if Google does.
  • Some devices and screen resolutions were not thought of when Google created the tool.
  • The output of the tool is not specific enough, at times, for web developers.

  • Top Pages Data: In the past, Similarweb PRO provided extensive data on a website's top pages, allowing for a deeper understanding of competitors' content strategies. However, the platform has reduced the extent of this information in recent years, limiting the insights users can glean. Restoring more comprehensive top pages data would be a valuable addition to the platform.
  • Data Accuracy: While Similarweb PRO generally provides accurate data, there have been instances where the reported numbers deviate from the actual figures, particularly for smaller or niche websites. Improving the platform's data accuracy, especially for less prominent sites, would enhance the overall reliability of the tool.

Similarweb is a very easy to use tool and gives us data on the go. It takes only a few clicks to get the relevant data. However, I have deducted 2 points as it only allows us to add 5 websites at a time on the platform, and data availability is only for the last 37 months.

Support is just helpful and effective when you need them; we have only needed to contact them once about a misunderstanding while setting up our Market Analysis. Since we don't really contact them too often, it's hard to offer anything but a positive rating from the single positive experience we had with tech support.
