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.
RacoonDR
Domain Rating tracked daily, with a badge
RacoonDR watches one number, the Ahrefs Domain Rating of a site you own, and keeps the history so a month of link building can be told apart from a quiet one. A check needs no account. Every domain checked gets a public page with a chart, a global rank and the domain age, and the badge is the business model rather than a decoration: display it and the link on that page turns followed, or pay to skip it. What it does not do is the research, so anybody who needs the keyword and backlink data itself still needs the tool the number comes from.
Our note
CloutStack and RacoonDR have the same owner, so read this listing knowing whose product it is. It is here because it fits the category and publishes its prices, which is the same test every other listing had to pass, and the link out is followed rather than a tracking link. Weigh the write-up accordingly.
Sitebulb
A crawler that explains what it found
Sitebulb crawls a site and returns prioritised issues with an explanation of why each one matters, which is the difference between this and a spreadsheet of URLs. Crawl maps draw the structure of a site as a picture. JavaScript rendering is on every plan rather than reserved for the dearest. The desktop product audits ten thousand URLs at the entry tier, so anybody auditing a large site is looking at the cloud version instead.
Ratings are the average of reviews readers left. The facts are stated by each tool’s own listing and are not verified by CloutStack. How we make money.
