Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Majestic
- Pricing is based on consumable analysis units, so heavy usage can exhaust a plan's allowance before the month ends.
- Lite plan excludes the Historic Index and raw data exports, which are common needs for deeper backlink audits.
- API access requires the most expensive plan, unlike some competitors that bundle limited API calls into mid-tier plans.
- The 7-day money-back guarantee is limited to first-time subscribers on Lite and Pro plans only.
Zapier
- The free plan allows 100 tasks per month and only two-step Zaps, one trigger and one action
- Multi-step Zaps, filters, paths, webhooks and the formatter all require a paid plan
- Premium app connectors are withheld from the free plan
- Free Zaps poll for new data every 15 minutes against 2 minutes on Professional and 1 minute on Team
- Paying monthly rather than annually costs 50 percent more, so the 2,000-task Professional plan is $73.50 a month instead of $49
