Considered Both Products
Moz Pro
Chose Moz Pro
Moz Pro fit our needs and offered competitive features to Semrush. Semrush may be more fit for larger businesses or those looking for multi domain support. Moz offers multiple domain support, but may not be as intuitive as Semrush. Ultimately Moz affords us all of the tools we …
Chose Moz Pro
Moz Pro feels more user-friendly as the interface is very intuitive. There are also lots of user guides and content about SEO strategy.
Chose Moz Pro
GShift has better customer service and consulting to get your SEO strategy off the group, but is limited in its scope and depth of analytics. Ahrefs, Semrush, and Moz are very comparable in their approaches, just with different levels of focus on keyword tracking, backlinks, …
Chose Moz Pro
Moz Pro and Ahrefs each have their own strengths, and we use both. There is a lot of overlap between the two, but I find that there are certain things that each does better. For keyword research, backlink analysis, and site crawls, we generally gravitate toward Moz Pro because …
Chose Moz Pro
The main thing that we liked [about] Moz Pro is the insights / dashboard (besides its colors). We do think it's better then the others tools we checked.
Chose Moz Pro
A[s] we all know Ahref or Semrush are very expensive tools. Startups cannot buy these tools. Moz Pro is reasonable and it gives you multiple features at [a] lower price.
Chose Moz Pro
Moz has a larger crawl limit than SEMrush, which helps tremendously if you have a large site (e.g. my site having 100,000+ pages). Moz's ranking data also provides data for Bing and Yahoo, whereas SEMrush doesn't. SEMrush has a lot of insight for PPC, but it was something that …
Chose Moz Pro
Moz is different and has a different workflow. Moz is geared towards a mommy blogger and easier to use. It was easy for our beginners on our team to use and less complicated than AHrefs of SEMRush.
Chose Moz Pro
Moz emerged as an industry leader with a great reputation for driving optimal SEO performance and ROI for customers. Moz' thought leadership on all things SEO gave us a lot of confidence to invest and partner with them. The wide array of product features was also something that …
Chose Moz Pro
Moz Pro is a nice intro tool that got us started on our SEO journey. We have chosen to supplement our Moz Pro account with other SEO tools to get a full picture of our SEO landscape and make a bigger impact on our rankings. I would recommend Moz Pro as a good start for a …
Chose Moz Pro
We looked at Semrush, and while it looks like a more advanced platform, it was just too much for our needs and where our team was starting at. We needed something with a learning curve that wasn't nearly as steep. If we did more with paid search, though, I might take another …
Chose Moz Pro
Moz tends to be more consistent with their data/metrics. Their crawler is also pretty powerful and able to pick up large sets of pages where some other tools may fall short.
Chose Moz Pro
Compared to full-service keyword platforms like Conductor, Moz blows it out of the water in terms of pricepoint and value. Moz is insanely cheap compared to something like Conductor, and it seem to offer just as much value. As long as you're just looking to get basic numbers in …
Chose Moz Pro
Moz is comprehensive while SEM rush focused on backlinks and monetary value. I think if Moz implemented SEM rush strategy or features and lower their monthly cost, it will surely dominate. Moz staff is super helpful as they have insiders that reaches out to enterprise users. …
Chose Moz Pro
The two closest competitors are Ahrefs and SEMrush, with additional tools upmarket.

Each platform has its own strengths, and we use all three at FMI. For Moz, we most like the Keyword Explorer toolset and its recommendation engine and filtering mechanisms - it's a big difference …
Chose Moz Pro
I think all SEO tools have their pros and cons, but Moz is a heavy hitter. They are the resident authority for educating SEO's, and that is for a reason. Their product works well. I wouldn't say it is head and shoulders above any competitors, but it gets the job done. When it …
Chose Moz Pro
Personally I think Moz is one of the top tools being used in the market for search engine optimization. It provides great insights, is easy to use and is easy to read and understand with their simple and comprehensive dashboard. I personally choose to use SEMRush above all …
Chose Moz Pro
SEMRush is a great competitor tool but is a bit weak on the "SEO Campaign" side of things, where you can track specific rankings and onsite issues, etc. Their "Projects" section comes close though, and I probably just need to spend more time with SEMrush to discover everything …
Chose Moz Pro
Moz had all the features that I was looking for to help us scale our in-house SEO and content marketing strategy. We had previously reviewed several other vendors but the price point and the features offered did not match up to our needs. The ease of use and the time to …
Chose Moz Pro
Moz seemed to be more user-friendly than SEMRush and Screaming Frog, and it allows us to do what we need to do (identifying issues with our site, keyword planning, competitor comparisons, etc). Other services would most likely provide more in-depth analyses and crawling …
Chose Moz Pro
Moz is simple to use. It lacks the depth in backlinks database compared to Ahrefs, and Ahrefs perhaps does a little better in automatically figuring what keywords you rank for compared to MoZ. But overall Moz has some other strengths that make it an all-round package. It is …
Chose Moz Pro
I like that I don't need to download anything to use all of the features MOZ has to offer. It is all contained online, so I don't have to open separate applications. And the cost is extremely reasonable.
Chose Moz Pro
I prefer Moz Pro to SEMRush and Ahrefs Site Explorer because I think it is much easier to use and understand. I believe it can be used along with Spyfu because Spyfu has alot of Google Adwords information that can be used in competition analysis that moz doesn't have. These two …
Chose Moz Pro
MOZ is a great beginner tool but there are more advanced tools out there like Ahrefs that allow you to do even more and have live crawl indexes for making decisions in almost real time. When you compare the crawl depth of other tools to MOZ, you can see where MOZ is lagging …
SE Ranking
Chose SE Ranking
It has a simple user interface and gives me the exact overview I need to take my next step.
Chose SE Ranking
SE Ranking is way more budget-friendly and suitable for less demanded SEO projects.
Chose SE Ranking
SE Ranking just made the most sense for us. It was an account separate from our SEO company so we could actually see what was going on.
Chose SE Ranking

The interface is much more friendly. The databases for the backlinks database seems to be bigger and more qualitative.


Chose SE Ranking
For us it's mainly a tool we use and/or suggest because of the price. It's complete enough to get yourself kickstarted and learn about your website and its positions in Google. But once you grow bigger and want more data it's smart to look around for more complete tools.

For as …
Chose SE Ranking
Backlink checker seems to be far less thorough than Ahrefs. It's also less thorough than Screaming Frog. But we got it for rank tracking and it does as a decent job at that.
Chose SE Ranking
SE Ranking was our choice based on the suite of features it offered compared to competitors as well as the # of projects you could manage. From a cost perspective, we feel it provides the most value for your money. Other SEO tools did not offer the lead generation features …
Chose SE Ranking
SE Ranking is really easy to use and it's rather cheap. So there is no reason why we should switch to other services.
Chose SE Ranking
We chose SE Ranking because of the price as it was very affordable and also helped us cover our needs.
Chose SE Ranking
SE Ranking is better than SERPstat or MOZ or Ahrefs when it comes to tracking keyword rankings, but it lacks in every other SEO category, such as onsite and offsite SEO metrics, content analysis, etc...

It's a good choice for agencies that are interested in tracking keywords for …
Chose SE Ranking
SE Ranking is perfect due to its price.For $84/year, you can enjoy most of its features, which makes it perfect for bloggers who are looking to beef up their site's SEO. For small agencies, their $39/month is affordable enough to help client track their keywords and manage SEO …

Moz Pro is best if you are an absolute beginner with SEO and need tools that are easy to use. It is designed more so for the blogger and not necessarily for the SEO professional. If I were them I would totally market that angle better. It just makes sense.

SE Ranking is on a good track when it comes to rank tracking. It displays a graph of your average position over time which is helpful and it can also help you when it comes to identifying some basic SEO issues with your website. It boasts as an all-around SEO tool, which it definitely isn't because it lacks a link database to be your go-to tool for everything SEO. Its UI is not optimized for ease of use, thus offering sub-par user experience. It has two different interfaces for different SEO tools which, I hope, they can incorporate into one.

Pros
  • Keyword rank tracking is on-point. You can easily tag on competitors and get ranks for them as well, which rules.
  • Moz has a great section for links—I especially use the Discovered and Lost reporting, which lists new domains linking to your site, and domains that dropped out, plus a DA for each. Clients eat this stuff up.
  • SERP Features is great as well—this is another thing that clients are thrilled to see: examples of keywords where fun SERP features appear. It's sort of a little thing, but the ease which Moz makes it available is great—the optics on this kind of thing to clients is outstanding.

  • Rank racking. It’s really important for us that the ranks are tracked accurately.
  • Monitoring of changes made on the website. We’ve found this feature really useful.
  • Reports. This includes auto reports and manuals. We can easily and quickly create reports to check our SEO progress month by month.

Cons
  • Backlink database is limited
  • Industry specific jargons and mentions would be helpful
  • Error tracking is very misleading
  • Duplicate pages marking each page even when it’s not duplicate. In other words this algorithm is too sensitive. Provide ability or control to user to set the sensitivity of the duplicate page check

  • I really don't think SE Ranking has many flaws. They are also rolling out an app at the moment - SE Ranking Pro - need to test that one.
  • Some more video tutorials on the site on how to use some tools would be helpful.
  • More in-system popups would be more helpful too.

Likelihood to Renew
We've been paying monthly for Moz for at least four years. We rely heavily on it for our daily work, and would need to re-engineer many of our processes if we were to cancel our subscription. I suspect we'll continue to use Moz as long as we are in business (assuming they maintain their quality).

Usability
it's easy to use once you get the hang of it and most people with any sort of background in using online tools and analytics systems can figure it out. it's just not as intuitive as it could be like google webmaster tools or Adobe (Site Catalyst)

Support Rating
I have not had a ton of interaction with the support team. Mostly asking questions where I cannot find the answer or where the data did not quite make sense. I always use their easy to access chat feature to talk to support. They are very responsive and very well informed and can usually solve my issue with just one chat session.
Read full review
The support is great but they don't have 24/7 support. And time zones can also be an issue sometimes. On the other hand there are plenty of guides and videos around to get yourself started. I never really needed support for "big" issues. And the help I got was good enough.

Return on Investment
  • Here I can easily find competitor's ranking keywords and their backlinks. It also gives you another exciting feature where you can compare two domains at the same time.
  • The thing that I don't like about this software is, that sometimes your page can take too much time for crawling.

  • The website "health" report has allowed us to fix things that Google might find strange or cause us to lose rankings, which has been very helpful.
  • It's given us more visibility into what exactly our SEO management company is doing and how they are performing, and if things are changing or not. It's very easy to see right from the dashboard.
  • Being able to see how our competitors stack up against us has helped us know where to improve, what to focus on, and how to be even better.
