Installable SEO Softwares or Web Based SEO Apps?

[smallbusinessguy]

Hi,

I have been thinking about SEO applications. Currently I am trying SEOMOZ pro. But honestly, 99$ is too much for me.

So, I was thinking of a one time fee based SEO Software. SEO Powersuit, IBP etc.

My question is, are they really valuable? I know it wont compare to SEOMOZ when it comes to the community, Q&A etc.

Is these softwares really worth it for automating client reports and so on?

Are there any free alternatives to such softwares?

Thanks

Hi Adarsh,

Well, there are plenty of free SEO resources online, which you could also consider.

It depends whether you are an in-house SEO working for one company or if you are an SEO working with multiple clients, which I gather you are from mentioning client reports.

One tool, which I don't use, but did have a quick tinker with is Market Samurai, which offers a free trial:

Then it is a one off fee, and it provides a variety of features.

Does that look like the kind of thing you were looking for?

I am planning to work as a freelance SEO consultant. So I am not sure which tool I can use to automate the reports I have to provide them.
