Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
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.
Checks a WordPress post before you publish it
Yoast SEO reads a draft in the WordPress editor and tells you what a search engine will struggle with: a missing meta description, a heading structure that does not nest, an internal link that should exist. The free plugin covers the basics and is what most sites run. Premium adds redirect management, which is the part that saves you when a URL changes, plus multiple keyphrases per post and internal linking suggestions. It is a subscription per site with the seat count stated separately.
