SEO Score API vs ChatSEO

AI SEO consultant chat that connects to your Google Search Console · Pricing: €23 – €63 / mo

ChatSEO and SEO Score API both touch SEO, but they are different shapes of product. ChatSEO is a Web app + chat UI + GSC connection; SEO Score API is a hosted REST API that returns a scored audit as JSON in about two seconds. This page is an honest side-by-side — including when you should pick ChatSEO over us.

When each tool wins

Pick ChatSEO when…

  • You are a non-technical founder who wants an SEO assistant to talk to about your Search Console data.
  • You want one tool that bundles GSC analysis, content-strategy chat, and basic on-page suggestions.
  • You prefer a conversational UX over an API and have no plan to wire SEO checks into code.

Pick SEO Score API when…

  • You are a developer or agency and want SEO checks as JSON your code can act on.
  • You audit dozens or thousands of URLs and need batching, CI hooks, and SDKs — not a chat window.
  • You want broader coverage: 82 checks per audit including AI readability and SXO/AEO/AIO scoring, which ChatSEO does not have.

Frequently asked

Is SEO Score API a ChatSEO replacement?

Different shape. ChatSEO is a chat UI; SEO Score API is a REST API. If your goal is 'someone to talk to about my GSC data,' ChatSEO is built for that. If your goal is 'audits I can call from code, run in CI, or feed to an AI agent,' that's us. Many teams use both.

Why is SEO Score API cheaper at the audit-only level?

We focus on one thing — automated audits — and don't pay for chat UX, content writers, or seat-based licensing. Different scope, different price.

Does SEO Score API connect to Google Search Console?

GSC integration is the next item on our productization sprint after this comparison page ships. When it lands, audited URLs will be enriched with their actual Search Console query data.

Can I get backlink data from SEO Score API?

Yes — the Basic plan ($15/mo) and higher include observed-backlink lookups via /backlinks. The data is audit-fed (a sample, not Ahrefs-comprehensive) and we say so explicitly in every response. The dataset grows with every audit.
