An Overview

SEO analysis tools divide into two types; free and paid. Tools that offer a free subscription level are mostly very limited: The only exception to this pattern is Ubersuggest that includes all the features a website owner needs in its freemium version.

Paid SEO analysis tools are generally targeted at SEO professionals who will get value for money and will be able to charge clients for the detailed reports these tools generate. Some lower-priced subscriptions can be value for money for small business owners who need to improve their search ranking. However, you only need one good tool and you should be wary of buying multiple subscriptions that will overlap in the reports they offer.
