The short version

  • Only Moz has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Kazoo the kazoohr.com domain now redirects to worktango.com, so Kazoo is no longer sold under that name; Moz smaller keyword database with only 500M+ keywords compared to 25 billion for Semrush
  • They diverge on capability: Kazoo covers Social recognition, Moz covers Keyword Explorer.
