seops vs OpenSEO
Both are developer-built, MCP-first and open about costs. OpenSEO leans toward research (keywords, backlinks, domain overview) and gives you the code. seops leans toward operating many sites: Search Console and GA4 depth, Cloudflare, backups, tasks and a weekly AI-visibility cadence. seops is not open source and has no self-host option.
| OpenSEO | seops | |
|---|---|---|
| License and hosting | MIT, GitHub every-app/open-seo. Self-host with Docker + Postgres, or hosted at app.openseo.so. | Proprietary, hosted only, on Cloudflare. A "your own Cloudflare account" data option is on the roadmap. |
| Pricing model | Self-host free; you pay DataForSEO directly per lookup. Hosted $10/mo including $10 of usage, then per action (reviewer: ~28% markup on DataForSEO). | Pay for what you need: first site free, each extra site $2.50/mo (+100 daily credits), credit packs $1/mo; no tiers, no seat fees. Enterprise (50+ sites) by quote. |
| Data sources | DataForSEO (your key), Google Search Console. GA4 not listed. | Search Console, GA4, Bing Webmaster, Yandex Webmaster, Cloudflare, PageSpeed, IndexNow; AI answers via Cloudflare AI Gateway on pack credits. |
| Research tools | Keyword research, domain overview, backlinks, SERP checker, local rank grids. | Not in seops. No backlink index, no keyword database; keyword ideas come from your own Search Console. |
| AI visibility | Brand lookup across ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews; Prompt Explorer runs one prompt across several LLMs. | Weekly prompt × engine matrix: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity asked directly with live web search via Cloudflare AI Gateway. Mention rate, citation rate, cited sites, full answers. Up to 20 prompts per site per week; each answer runs on pack credits. |
| Site audit | Technical audit with Lighthouse data. | Scheduled sitemap audit + PageSpeed Insights; findings become tasks with verification rules. |
| Cloudflare, backups | Not covered. | Cloudflare security events, AI crawler log, Workers/D1/R2 usage; nightly D1, Supabase, WordPress and Hostinger backups with alerts. |
| Security check | — | External surface checks (HTTPS redirect, HSTS, CSP and other security headers, exposed .env/.git files, security.txt, SPF/DMARC, Cloudflare SSL mode and minimum TLS) once a day, plus a code audit your own AI agent runs with Cloudflare's open-source security-audit skill; findings, status and fix prompts in the panel. |
| MCP / agents | Every feature as MCP tools; prebuilt agent skills; Project Context and agent reports. | 45 tools plus a shared task list: findings open tasks, agents work only on tasks you approve, prompt history is kept. |
| Multi-site | No stated project limits. | Built around it: one list of 1–200 sites, same checks everywhere, alerts and weekly summary roll up. |
