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.
Our note
The entry price is the argument, at $49 a month for a single site against what Ahrefs and Semrush charge. The link index behind it is smaller. Buy it for rank tracking and check backlinks somewhere else.
Bulk YouTube edits and thumbnail A/B testing
TubeBuddy is the older of the two big YouTube extensions and is stronger on the boring half: changing end screens on two hundred videos, finding and replacing a line in every description, sorting tags. Its A/B thumbnail test is the feature people cite most. There is no free plan on the pricing page.
