Pricing

Most of the expensive tools we have in the market limit the features they provide their customers. That is not the case with Mangools. Mangools major competitors are tools like Ahrefs, Moz Pro, and SEMrush. These are premium tools that offer a lot and are quite popular in the market. These tools have starter plans that cost $99/month. While they provide limited basic features in the base plan, Mangools provides its user with all the premium features in the basic plan itself.

Mangools is a suite of SEO tools that provide 5 different SEO tools for the price of one. The keyword research options available in Mangools beat every other tool by a considerable margin. It won’t be wrong to say that Google Keyword Planner cannot compete with KWFinder of Mangools.

SEO is substantially based on competitor analysis, and SiteProfiler helps you do that effectively. One of the coolest pros Mangools has to offer is the ability to track all the keywords of your website automatically. This removes the need to add your target keywords one after one saving you a lot of time.

Well, there are a lot of things you will have to miss if you use Mangools. It does offer an agency plan, but a lack of client dashboard really makes it difficult to manage campaigns. If you aren’t running an agency, you should not opt for the Mangools Agency plan.

Another thing that you should consider while opting for Mangools is that it is a new player in the market and will have to go through a lot of development to make it ‘the best SEO tool’. The database for links in Mangools is very small when compared with that of SEMrush, Ahrefs, Moz Pro, and Majestic.
