This page links all 136 of my lists of SEO and website tools, from rank trackers and AI visibility tools to website builders, hosting and WordPress plugins. Choose the job and open the one list that covers it.
How I build these lists
Every list I've built since mid-October 2026 follows the same method. I read each tool on its own website, note whether that site names a free plan, a trial only or neither, and put the tools in no particular order with no winner. The tools are named, never linked.
Across the 595 different tools I read for the 102 lists on this page where I recorded each tool's free plan, 297 name a free plan or a free version on their own site, 135 offer a trial only, and 163 say neither on the pages I read. That's fewer than half with a free plan, so the column is worth a look before you shortlist anything.
My advice: open the list closest to the job you need done, shortlist three tools whose site names a free plan or trial, and try each one on a single real task before you pay for anything.

Do you make one of the SEO and website tools on these lists, or one that belongs on them? Tool makers can ask to be considered for a featured place.
Frequently asked questions
Which list should I use to check how a site shows up in AI answers?
The SEO group near the top includes my AI visibility and GEO tool lists alongside the classic rank trackers.
Are website builders and hosting on the same list?
No, each has its own list. Website builders, hosting and WordPress plugins sit together in one group so you can open them side by side.
What does Trial only mean on these lists?
It means the tool's own site offers a time-limited trial but no free plan. Not stated means the pages I read mentioned neither.
Are the SEO tools ranked?
No. The lists put tools in no particular order and never pick a winner; the right tool depends on your site size and budget.
Can an SEO or website tool ask to be included?
Yes, through the feature your tool page linked here. I read the tool's site before anything is added.
