Free Moz Pro Alternative

The free Moz Pro alternative
that also tracks AI visibility

Moz Pro is one of the original SEO tools. It's got good domain authority data and a solid audit tool - but it's expensive, and doesn't track AI search visibility at all.

Why people look for a Moz Pro alternative

  • Starts at $99/month - no meaningful free tier
  • DA score is their metric - not the same as Google's signals
  • No AI visibility tracking (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity)
  • Slower to crawl and update than newer tools

AI Search Visibility Tracking

About 45% of Google searches now show AI-generated answers. Moz Pro has no way to tell you if ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity are recommending - or ignoring - your brand. DidYouSEO tracks all three and tells you exactly what to fix.

Is there a free alternative to Moz Pro?

Moz Pro starts at $99/month, and the free tier caps you at a handful of queries per month. Whether you can replace it free depends on which part you actually use.

If it's mostly authority checking — Moz's Domain Authority score — the equivalent metric (Ahrefs' Domain Rating) is available free through DidYouSEO's domain rating checker, including bulk checks of up to 10 domains. If it's site audits, DidYouSEO's free plan includes 3 full 30-point audits with no credit card. What you'd genuinely lose is Moz's keyword research and link explorer — for those, no complete free replacement exists.

Domain Authority vs Domain Rating

Moz's Domain Authority (DA) and Ahrefs' Domain Rating (DR) measure the same idea — backlink strength on a 0–100 scale — using different crawlers and formulas. The scores usually land in the same neighborhood but are not interchangeable; pick one metric and compare consistently within it.

DidYouSEO reports DR, checked free for any domain. Moz requires a Pro plan once you exceed the small free query limit.

Moz Pro alternative FAQ

Is there a free version of Moz Pro?+
Moz offers limited free access — about 10 queries per month on tools like Link Explorer — but real usage requires Moz Pro at $99/month. For the most common use case, checking domain authority, free alternatives exist: DidYouSEO's domain rating checker has no query limit and checks up to 10 domains at once.
Is Domain Authority the same as Domain Rating?+
No. Domain Authority (DA) is Moz's metric and Domain Rating (DR) is Ahrefs'. Both score backlink strength from 0–100, but they use different link indexes and formulas, so the same site can score differently on each. Compare sites within one metric, never across the two.
What does DidYouSEO have that Moz Pro doesn't?+
AI search visibility tracking. Moz can't tell you whether ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity recommend your brand when people ask them for products like yours. DidYouSEO tracks that alongside a traditional 30-point SEO audit — and its paid plan is $19/month versus Moz's $99.
