Researching rivals & PPC

SpyFu pricing and features as published at the time of writing. We keep this current, tell us if anything looks out of date.

Who should switch from SpyFu, and who shouldn't

SpyFu does something we genuinely do not: years of historical PPC data, ad copy and paid-keyword history. If competitor and ad research is the job, SpyFu is the specialist and it is cheaper than us at $39/mo.

But watching rivals is only half the work. Rankings come from what is on your own site, and that is the half SpyFu was never built for.

Switch to UtilitySEO if…

  • You know what competitors rank for and now need to fix your own site
  • You want a technical audit and an impact-ranked to-do list, not another research export
  • You still want competitor tracking, it is included
  • You care whether AI assistants mention you

Stay on SpyFu if…

  • Historical PPC and ad-copy intelligence is the reason you bought it, nothing here replaces that
  • Competitor research is the primary job, not your own technical SEO
  • $39/mo versus £48/mo matters

Plenty of teams run both. They solve different halves of the same problem.

Loved by teams that rank

★★★★★Loved by founders & small teams
So much cheaper than my previous software whilst also offering far more insight into my issues and industry keywords. Highly recommended.
