	Netpeak Spider	SpyFu
Considered Both Products	Netpeak Spider Roman Yarovyi Product Project Manager Chose Netpeak Spider We choose Netpeak Spider because: 1. Can buy a monthly subscription and have unlimited number of websites to check. 2. Price. It's affordable, especially when you have not only one project. Incentivized Helpful?	SpyFu Verified User Anonymous Chose SpyFu SpyFu is a good tool and it certainly provides a good starting point for any basic PPC or SEO campaign. I dont believe it has the comprehensive features that a tool like Ahrefs has, as it doesnt have the granular data these tools possess. However, it is still well worth using … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose SpyFu I use Ahrefs for Site audit, Keyword Research, Backlink analysis, and some parts of competitor analysis. SpyFu I always wanted to keep primary, but it's not doable with the limitation of their database, which forces me to use Ahrefs for that reason. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose SpyFu It's a great little tool that offers pretty much everything you can get from Moz or Semrush at a fraction of the cost. My company uses a few different tools but I always come back to SpyFu because it is so easy to use and their build-in reporting is great. Incentivized Helpful? Rohit Langde Marketing Manager Chose SpyFu SpyFu is more cost-effective than both (Ahrefs and SEMRush), but we have to compromise on the data's accuracy. However, the data reporting and user interface of SpyFu make it easy to decipher. For Paid Ads keyword lookup, we prefer SpyFu to any other tool maybe, because it's … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose SpyFu Hootsuite and Google Analytics Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose SpyFu 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose SpyFu I've used SEMRush as well. SEMRush does organic SEO analysis better than SpyFu and backlink research. I find the data more intuitive. I much prefer SpyFu for their advertising/PPC analysis and use SpyFu when researching competitors' advertising campaigns. These are the main two … Incentivized Helpful? Lisa Arrington Digital Marketing Manager Chose SpyFu Compared to SEMRush or Ahrefs, neither of the competitors stacks up against SpyFu in terms of competitor insight of paid ad performance. It can even identify specific ad copy changes, which can be crucial for high-demand periods like Black Friday. In my opinion, SpyFu is an … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose SpyFu Spyfu fails to hit the mark at least when it comes to SEO since both Ahrefs and Semrush has a bigger directory and fetches data from more countries than Spyfu does, however Spyfu offers a great deal when it comes to cost effective solution to almost every digital marketing … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose SpyFu SpyFu has what we needed from SEMrush, and Spyfu is more reasonably priced. Spyfu does not have some of the higher level and specific tools, but is great for the price. Incentivized Helpful? Tyler Heaps Director of Marketing Chose SpyFu SpyFu offers the best keyword research platform out there. I have used this for many companies that are still using this tool today. It's always been one of my first marketing software recommendations to companies I work with. For those who understand digital marketing such as … Incentivized Helpful? EV Elias Van Son Sr. Paid Search Specialist Chose SpyFu I spent years exclusively using SEMrush for this kind of competitor PPC data, and have used Moz in the past on several occasions. I feel that SpyFu is more well-rounded and provides deeper insights than these other products, and honestly, it's just more updated as well. Easier … Incentivized Helpful? JK Jonathan Kagan VP Chose SpyFu Currently we actively use SEMRush and Similar Web, along side SpyFu. To be honest, the platforms are fairly interchangeable. Each one has one or two unique things that the other doesn't have. None of it is totally earth shattering. So often it comes down to price, and SpyFu is … Incentivized Helpful? KJ Kathleen Jasper CEO (Chief Executive Officer) Chose SpyFu Better price. Much easier to use. Incentivized Helpful? Kathryn Johnson Marketing Specialist Chose SpyFu I haven't used other platforms because our webmaster suggested it. Incentivized Helpful? Jake Hundley CEO (Chief Executive Officer) Chose SpyFu When it comes to assessing the competition, SpyFu is fantastic. I prefer its competitor analysis features much more than SEMRush or any other platform out there. That is what I use SpyFu for. Regarding reporting and integrations, it doesn't quite seem like it's the best option … Incentivized Helpful? George Louvis Owner Chose SpyFu I haven't checked any competitors. SpyFu was the one I found first and it works so well that I never needed to look for an alternative. I can't imagine trying to do my job without it. It's that good. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose SpyFu It isn't fair to compare these two tools overall. They have a few shared pieces, but SEMrush is much more expensive but includes many more tools making it a full SEO suite. When looking strictly at the shared tools from both companies (the competitor keyword tools), they stack … Incentivized Helpful? BM Bill Martin Director of Search Chose SpyFu It is comparable with SemRush and others Incentivized Helpful? Ruben Diaz SEM Campaign Manager- Independent Contractor Chose SpyFu I've only used SpyFu. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose SpyFu We use Moz for tracking Keywords monthly, and we also use it more for backlink research. We like the keyword research available in SpyFu better than Moz. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose SpyFu Personally, the only tool I use as often as SEMRush. If you have the SEMrush paid version, I personally choose to use that over SpyFu. SpyFu is the best free search analytics tool online though. It has the greatest offerings in its free pack and allows you to have the most … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose SpyFu They both give me great value, I use them together to get the best results. SimilarWeb gives me a holistic view of a website's traffic - it includes both organic and paid traffic, while SpyFu gives only organic traffic results. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose SpyFu We looked at SEM Rush, but for the price, we decided to give SpyFu a chance. SpyFu is very affordable compared to other similar tools. I think that I can overlook some of the lack of intuitiveness of the platform given the low monthly price. Incentivized Helpful? Frank Watson CEO Chose SpyFu On keyword insights, SpyFu wins - Other elements covered Screaming Frog has better information. Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	Netpeak Spider	SpyFu
Likelihood to Recommend	[Netpeak] Spider is a great service for: Checking and monitoring big websites or e-commerce projects for technical errors on regular basis Creating custom formulas for calculation of internal page ranks and building a tree view with this information Get reports that include metrics for every page (performance, inbound and outbound links, indexing status) Create reports that include all metrics from external SEO services like Serpstat or Similarweb for every single page of your website It's very useful software for SEO or marketing agencies that have a lot of projects to work with, but might be overkill for small projects and companies. Incentivized Roman Yarovyi Product Project Manager Read full review	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.

Incentivized Roman Yarovyi Product Project Manager Read full review	I was surprised to find I preferred Semrush when it comes to keyword research.
