What differentiates SpyFu from other similar products?

SpyFu is the easiest-to-use rank tracker / competition analysis tool we've found. It's budget-friendly and intuitive enough for even new users to hop right in.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The simplicity. SpyFu lets you do what you need to do and get on with your day. You won't live in it the way you will in Moz or Semrush, but that's fine sometimes.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The level of customization is low compared to Moz or Semrush. You'll get the data you need, but diving in deep to, say, individual country results or full-on site health tracking isn't there. The price is right, however!

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you're handling rank tracking and competition analysis by hand, SpyFu is a great fit, particularly for new DM pros or small agencies.

Pros

  • Trustworthy
  • Respectful
  • Fair
  • Acts with Integrity

Cons

  • Commodity Features
