What you would be giving up
SISTRIX is most often brought in for reporting search visibility to a board in germany where the visibility index is the expected metric, comparing a domain against competitors over years, including before you started tracking anything, due diligence on an acquisition target where you need visibility history you did not collect yourself, diagnosing whether a traffic drop coincided with a core update by comparing against the whole measured market. Anything replacing it has to cover the ones you actually depend on, and a cheaper tool that misses one of them is not cheaper.
Two things this page cannot settle. It compares on price, model, tier count and rating, because those are the fields the category listing carries, feature-level differences need both full records, which is what the head-to-head pages load. And the ratings are third-party aggregates imported with each entry rather than reviews written here, so a 0.2 difference between two tools is noise rather than a finding.
If SISTRIX is broadly right and the question is cost, the SISTRIX pricing breakdown covers every tier and what each one adds. If you want the whole field rather than a shortlist, the SEO category lists everything the directory holds, and best seo tools ranks them.
SISTRIX runs on web, rest api. Platform coverage is not carried on the category listing for the alternatives, so it is one more thing to check on each head-to-head page rather than here.
