TL;DR

SEOLint is a focused single-page SEO auditor with an MCP server for Claude, LLM-ready fix prompts, a REST API, and a $79/month flat price. SE Ranking is full-featured seo platform with rank tracking, site audit, and backlink monitoring at a competitive price. The right pick depends on whether you want the broader suite or an audit that fits inside a developer workflow.

SE Ranking is a competitive all-in-one SEO platform with rank tracking, site audits, backlink monitoring, and keyword research at a lower price than Ahrefs or SEMrush. It is a strong choice for small agencies who want the full suite without the enterprise tier. SEOLint is not a suite. It handles single-page audits, integrates with developer tooling, and connects to Claude as an MCP server.

  • REST API for GitHub Actions and automation
  • Single-purpose tool: fast page audits in under 60 seconds
  • $79/month

Where SE Ranking is different

Honest trade-offs. These are reasons you might still prefer SE Ranking.

  • $129+/month for the full suite, even if you only need page audits
  • No AI-generated fix instructions
  • No MCP server, can't connect to Claude or other AI tools
  • Not designed for developer workflows or GitHub Actions

Which one should you pick?

Pick SE Ranking if you want rank tracking plus audits plus backlinks under one subscription for less than the US competitors charge. Pick SEOLint if all you need is the audit, and you want it to fit inside a developer workflow: CI, CLI, and MCP in Claude Code.

Common questions

Is SEOLint better than SE Ranking?
It depends on your needs. SEOLint is built for founders and developers who use Claude. Connect it as an MCP server in 2 minutes and Claude can scan any URL natively. Every issue comes with a LLM-ready fix prompt that Claude can execute directly on your codebase. SE Ranking is better if you need a full SEO suite or site-wide crawling. If you want AI-native output and developer ergonomics, SEOLint is the focused choice.
Does SEOLint work as an MCP server for Claude?
Yes. Add one config block to Claude Desktop or Claude Code and Claude gains access to scan_website(), get_scan(), and list_scans() as native tools. You can ask Claude "scan my homepage and fix the critical issues" and it handles the full loop, no browser tab needed. SE Ranking has no MCP integration.
How much does SEOLint cost compared to SE Ranking?
SEOLint is $79/month, one flat price per site under agent watch. Includes weekly auto-scans, 200 AI credits/month bundled in (BYOK to skip the cap), MCP server, CLI, AI fix prompts, REST API, GitHub Actions, and the PR bot. No annual commitment, cancel anytime. Multi-site Custom plan available via email.
