Looking for an SEOptimer alternative?
SEOptimer is the strongest free grader on this page, and the honest place to start is with the objection: their audit costs nothing and ours does not. So it matters what the free report actually is. It is a long list of search checks, a keyword and backlink toolkit, and a screenshot of your page that nothing ever looks at. It is real work, done well, on a different problem from the one that is costing you sales.

When to choose SEOptimer
Choose SEOptimer when the problem is that nobody is arriving. They are better at search than we are and we are not going to argue about it: they track your keywords, they crawl your backlinks, they watch your rankings move, and we do none of those things. If your traffic is the thing that is broken, buy the tool built for traffic.
When to choose you x you i
Choose us when people are arriving and still not buying. That is a different question, and a search checklist cannot reach it: no count of meta descriptions will tell you your headline does not say what you sell, that your pricing table is unreadable on a phone, or that nothing on the page gives a stranger a reason to trust you with a card. The audit is $5, once, with no subscription.

SEOptimer vs you x you i: common questions
Their audit is free. Why would I pay for yours?
Because the free one answers a question you may not have. It grades whether Google can crawl you. If your problem is that visitors arrive and leave, it has nothing to say, and it will still hand you a green score while your buy button is invisible on a phone.
Do you do SEO as well?
The basics, and honestly not more. We check that Google can read your pages and that AI assistants can quote them. We do not track keywords, we do not crawl backlinks, and we do not watch your rankings. SEOptimer does all three and they are the right tool for that job.
They advertise a hundred checks. How many do you run?
That is not a number worth comparing. Theirs are mostly yes or no questions about tags: does this page have an H1, does that image have alt text. Ours are trained analyses of what your page says and how it feels to land on. Counting them against each other would be counting different things.
Do they check accessibility?
No, and that is a gap worth knowing about. The European Accessibility Act has been enforceable since June 2025 and names online retail directly. We run a full scan against WCAG 2.2 on every audit.
What does an audit cost?
$5, paid once, with no subscription. You are buying one report, not a plan.
