A free SEOptimer alternative, compared fact by fact
SEOptimer is a paid SEO toolset built around its audit: a crawler, rank tracking, keyword and backlink research, an AI writer, and white-label and lead-generation tools for agencies. Trakis does one part of that, the site audit, for free. It reads up to 200 pages, counts each problem once with the pages it covers, and says what to fix first. Below is what each one does, and where SEOptimer is the better choice.
Trakis and SEOptimer, side by side
What SEOptimer does is taken from its own pages, read on 12 November 2026, and each line links the page it comes from. Plans and limits change, so check those pages before you decide.
| Trakis | SEOptimer | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A site audit: it reads the site the way a search engine’s crawler does and gives you the list of what to fix, in order. | “SEO Audit & AI Visibility Tool”, with a toolset: audits, a crawler, rank tracking, keyword and backlink research, an AI writer, white-label reports and a lead-generation tool. SEOptimer, home page · SEOptimer, pricing |
| Price | Free. There is no paid plan yet, so there is no trial that ends and no card is asked for. | Paid plans (Starter, Pro, Max), with a 7-day free trial. AI visibility, local SEO and the API are add-ons, billed on their own. The prices are on its pricing page. SEOptimer, pricing |
| Without an account | The SEO site checker reads a site’s first 25 pages and shows the grade and the first problems in about a minute. | “Enter a website URL to get a free analysis”, on the home page. SEOptimer, home page |
| How much of a site | Up to 200 pages an audit, chosen across every kind of page. On a bigger site the report says it read a sample. | The SEO Crawler reads “every page of your website”. Each plan includes a number of crawls a month. SEOptimer, SEO Crawler · SEOptimer, pricing |
| How problems are listed | Each problem once, with the pages it covers and where it sits (one template, a folder, the whole site), in the order worth fixing. 67 checks, each with a public page. | “A prioritised list of your site’s pages and issues, ordered by those with the most number of, or most urgent problems”, to search, sort and filter. SEOptimer, SEO Crawler |
| JavaScript | HTML first; pages whose content needs JavaScript are opened in a headless browser. | Pages are loaded in a cloud-based Chrome browser. SEOptimer, SEO Crawler |
| Repeat audits | Daily, weekly or every two weeks. Each audit is compared with the one before, and an email comes when the grade drops 3 points or more, a tenth of the pages go missing, or a new critical problem appears. | Scheduled crawls and scheduled reports, with built-in task management to follow each issue to done. SEOptimer, SEO Crawler |
| Keywords | Your positions, from your own Search Console data. No rank tracker and no keyword research. | Rank tracking on Google, Bing and mobile, and keyword research, in numbers set by the plan. SEOptimer, pricing |
| Backlinks | A domain authority checker scores any domain from Common Crawl’s open link graph. No list of backlinks. | Backlink research and backlink monitoring. SEOptimer, pricing |
| White-label | A one-page report with your logo, name, email and colour, as a PDF or a link the client opens without an account. What the client sees. | White-label PDF reports from the Pro plan; an audit widget to embed on your own site for leads on Max. SEOptimer, pricing |
| Sites and people | Up to 25 sites in an account, one login, no team seats yet. | Crawls for one website on Starter, across several on Pro and Max, which come with 3 and 6 users. SEOptimer, pricing |
When SEOptimer is the better choice
- You want SEO tools beyond the audit. Rank tracking, keyword research, backlink research and monitoring, and an AI writer are in the same account; Trakis has none of them.
- You want AI search visibility, local SEO or Google Business Profile audits. SEOptimer sells them as add-ons. Trakis checks which AI bots your robots.txt lets in; it doesn’t report how often AI answers mention you.
- One site is big and you want every page. The SEO Crawler reads every page; a Trakis audit reads up to 200, chosen across every kind of page.
- Several people work in the account. Pro and Max come with 3 and 6 users; Trakis has one login per account.
- You collect leads with an audit on your own site. The embeddable audit widget does that; Trakis has nothing like it.
When Trakis is the better choice
- You want the audit, free. No plan to pick and no trial to cancel.
- You want a short list. A mistake in a template is one line with the number of pages it covers, so the list stays short on a big site. The example report shows one.
- You want to know what changed. Each audit is read against the last one: what you fixed, what is new, and an email when something breaks.
- You send audits to clients. The one-page report carries your agency’s name and goes as a PDF or a link.
- You care how AI assistants read the site. The audit checks which AI search, answer and training bots your robots.txt lets in, and an AI connector lets an assistant such as Claude read your audits.
