Easy to Use, One Of The Cheapest Tools On Market

Likeliness to Recommend

7 /10

What differentiates SpyFu from other similar products?

Cost is much lower and lets you easily compare you website to that of competitors.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I love being able to copy and paste websites directly into the tool to be able to track how they are performing organically as well on paid search.

What do you dislike most about this product?

You are limited on some aspects of SEO data that more expensive tools like SEM Rush or MOZ are able to get you (Site Audits, Local SEO etc.)

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you are looking for a cheap month to month alternative for basic SEO needs this product is great. If you need more robust and in depth information I would look elsewhere.

Pros

  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing
  • Unique Features
  • Respectful

Cons

  • Vendor's Interest First
  • Under Delivered
  • Charges for Enhancements

Super easy to use and worth every cent.

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates SpyFu from other similar products?

I handle marketing in a highly competitive business niche. Most of our competitors spend 10x what we spend in advertising and marketing. By using Spyfu and a couple other tools I'm able to see their best ads, keywords, budgets and when they're running their ads. This helps me be way more competitive with a much lower budget.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Seeing the ads and keywords.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The only thing that I don't like is sometimes Spyfu cannot find a competitor. They do add them but it takes time.. Still that's to be expected and is a very minor inconvenience.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Buy it if you spend more than $1000 per year on PPC ads. Knowing what others are running and what keywords are generating the leads is worth the annual cost of Spyfu.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing
