Semrush · Crawl Foundry
A Semrush alternative should cover the SEO work you actually use. If your agency mainly needs keyword research and technical audits, compare those workflows in client workspaces. List any wider marketing tools you rely on before changing providers.
Compare the work you need to do before choosing a tool. Crawl Foundry brings keyword research and technical audits into client workspaces, with fresh data requested when you need it.
Crawl Foundry
Choose Crawl Foundry when you want a workspace for each client, a retained keyword database and prices shown before paid actions. Start with one research list or one audit and review the result before expanding.
Semrush
Semrush combines SEO research and auditing with additional marketing toolkits. Consider it when you need several of those tools within the same provider.
This compares product scope, not equivalent plans or complete feature coverage. Check the provider's current limits and terms before buying.
