Mangools bundles five SEO tools, keyword research, SERP checker, rank tracker, backlink and site profiler, into one simple login at $37.70 a month on the annual plan ($452.40 a year). Moz sells one deeper tool built around Domain Authority and Link Explorer, at $49 a month with no annual commitment required, plus a free browser extension that needs no account. Mangools is cheaper only if you commit for a year; billed monthly it runs $61, more than Moz's flat rate. The real split is daily caps against a smaller link index.

Mangools
Five SEO tools that do not need a manual
Mangools is KWFinder and four siblings sold together, and its reason to exist is that the serious suites are overwhelming for anybody who is not doing SEO full time. Keyword difficulty is one number you can act on, the SERP view shows who you would have to beat, and the rank tracker keeps score. Limits are per day rather than generous. An agency running client reporting at volume will hit the ceiling and know it.
Our note
Buy this for the interface, which is the only real reason to pick it over a cheaper suite with deeper data. The per-day request caps are the thing that will actually stop you, so count a normal week's lookups before assuming Basic is enough.
Moz
Rank tracking and link data from Moz Pro
Moz has been measuring domain authority since the metric was invented, and its rank tracking, link explorer and keyword research still cover what a content site needs to watch. Its free browser extension is what most people meet first. The index is smaller than Ahrefs', and the entry plan is priced for one site rather than for an agency.
Why people weigh these two
- Moz instead of Mangools
- Moz Pro tracks rank and link data with a longer trial to test it, a heavier suite for someone past the daily-limit stage.
- Mangools instead of Moz
- Mangools at $38 is five SEO tools that need no manual, lighter and cheaper than a suite built around one authority score.
Which one should you pick
Pick Mangools if you do SEO as one job among several and want a score you can act on rather than a dataset to interpret. Bloggers, solo founders and freelancers are the audience, and $37.70 a month buys all five tools, keyword, SERP, rank, link and site lookup, together. The 100 keyword requests and 100 SERP analyses allowed per day are the ceiling, and an agency running client audits at volume hits it in an afternoon.
Pick Moz if you want Domain Authority, the metric sponsors and other sites already recognize, plus a free browser extension you can hand a client with no signup. Its $49 a month covers one site with no minimum term, cheaper to try than Mangools' own month-to-month rate of $61. Anybody doing serious backlink analysis will still find the index smaller than the bigger suites, so pair it with something else for that job.
Common questions
- Is Mangools or Moz cheaper?
- Mangools costs $37.70 a month, but only on a 12-month plan totaling $452.40 a year; billed month to month it works out to $61. Moz costs $49 a month for one site with no commitment required, so it is cheaper to try, and Mangools is cheaper only once you commit for the year.
- Does either tool have a free trial or free tier?
- Neither has a free tier. Moz offers a free trial of unstated length plus a permanently free browser extension and basic SEO tools that need no account. Mangools offers neither a trial nor a free plan.
- Which one is built for an agency running client reports?
- Neither, at the entry tier. Mangools caps Basic at 100 keyword requests and 100 SERP analyses a day, which an agency exhausts in an afternoon. Moz's $49 plan covers a single website only, so an agency needs a higher tier of either tool.
- Which has the bigger backlink index?
- Moz has tracked Domain Authority and links longer than almost anyone, but its own listing says the index is smaller than Ahrefs'. Mangools includes a link tool as one of its five, aimed at a quick check rather than deep backlink research.
