How many tools does it take for one article to reach the first page?
Short answer
One. Ours.
From a real Google question, through the most detailed technical audit and the largest checklists on the market, to a finished article and measuring whether you climbed because of it — the whole chain runs on one subscription, one account, one bill. No other tool does that from start to finish.
On feature count we lose to the big ones — and we say so openly, without hedging. But the job doesn't end with features; it ends with a published text that ranks. So we compare on the one number that actually hurts: how many subscriptions and how much money it takes for that text to come out. There nobody is close.
| Tool | Real questions with numbers | Writes the article | Publishes | Tracks position | Languages | Price for the whole chain |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nokofy | yes | yes | manual | yes | 24 | one subscription |
| Semrush | partly | second subscription | yes | yes | 8 | from $177/mo, two subscriptions |
| Ahrefs | partly | no | no | yes | English-first | $129 + $99 add-on |
| Surfer SEO | no | yes | yes | no | English-first | $99–299 + $29 per article |
| SE Ranking | partly | yes | yes | yes | fewer | from $103/mo |
| Ubersuggest | partly | no | no | yes | no | $99/mo |
| AlsoAsked | no volumes | no | no | no | no | $47/mo |
| Jasper | no | yes | sometimes | no | partly | $69/mo |
A detailed comparison with each
Nokofy vs Semrush
The biggest database on the market, but writing is a second subscription.
Read →Nokofy vs Ahrefs
The best link index on the market — but it doesn't write a single sentence.
Read →Nokofy vs Surfer SEO and AI writers
Excellent texts, but no search data and no rank tracking.
Read →Nokofy vs SE Ranking
Our closest competitor — stronger at scale, but AI visibility costs extra.
Read →Nokofy vs Ubersuggest
The cheapest way in. It has AI visibility, but writes ideas rather than finished texts.
Read →Nokofy vs AlsoAsked and AnswerThePublic
The nicest display of questions on the market, but no search volumes and nothing after.
Read →The bill at the end of the month
The price on the front page isn't the price you pay
With every big tool the entry plan is the ticket in, and what you actually need is charged separately.
SE Ranking
- $103 entry plan
- + $71–89 for AI visibility tracking
- + $45 for the API
- + $69 agency add-on
up to $306 with every add-on
Surfer SEO
- $49–182 plan
- + $29 per article over the limit
- + $158 for AI visibility
- credits don't roll into the next month
and still no rank tracking
Ahrefs
- $129 entry plan
- + $99 for content help
- you still write the article yourself
- publishing doesn't exist
$228 without a single written article
Five things nobody covers
These aren't flaws in the competition — they're simply parts of the job their tools don't do.
Nobody joins real questions to numbers
AlsoAsked has excellent questions from „People also ask“, but without a single number — you don't know whether any of it is searched for. Semrush and Ahrefs have numbers, but pull questions from their archive instead of live search. You need both for choosing a topic to make sense.
Nobody closes the loop on one subscription
Whoever writes doesn't track positions. Whoever tracks doesn't write. Semrush covers both, but through two separate subscriptions. SE Ranking is the closest, but without live questions.
Smaller languages simply aren't covered
The biggest AI content writing tool in the world supports eight languages — English, Spanish, French, Dutch, Italian, German and Portuguese. We write in 24. That isn't our claim but their own list.
The pricing was built for another market
For one person to get the data, the text, the publishing and the tracking, the foreign tools charge between $103 and $177 a month. For an agency in London that's rational. For one site it isn't.
Add-ons are billed separately, and credits expire
An extra user, AI visibility tracking, data access, reports — all charged separately. And what you don't spend this month doesn't roll into the next.
Honestly
Where they're better than us
If we didn't write this, you'd have no reason to believe the rest of the page either.
Backlink indexes
Ahrefs and Semrush have spent years building their own link indexes — Ahrefs reports over 500 million indexed linking domains. That can't be copied. For link forensics and serious profile cleanup after a penalty, they're the better tool.
Depth and history of the keyword database
Semrush has around 27 billion keywords and data going back years, for more than 140 countries. We work with live data, not an archive — so a chart of one keyword from 2019 to today doesn't exist here.
Auditing in the millions of pages
A site with half a million pages needs the crawl budget they have — up to two million pages a month. Our plans go up to ten thousand per audit; more only by arrangement.
Agency features and integrations
Multiple access levels, client accounts, an audit trail on every change, a developed API and a ready Looker Studio connector — they're far ahead of us there. Anyone reporting to thirty clients a month feels it immediately.
Maturity of the content editor
Surfer has honed its editor for years. Real-time paragraph rewriting and entity handling work better than ours.
Log file analysis and crawler behaviour
Semrush has added log file analysis and tracking of crawlers and AI agents on the server to its top offering. We look at what's visible from the page, not at what's in the server logs.
Advertising data
Who paid for which ads, what they looked like, how much they spent — Semrush has a serious database for that and for tracking other people's campaigns. We show the cost per click beside a keyword and stop there.
Share of voice and brand tracking
Share of Voice, brand mention tracking and comparison against a whole market are developed features with them. Here competitors are compared by keywords, not by market share.
Number of markets
Data for a hundred and forty countries, with side-by-side views per market. Our system is built around the markets we understand well, and we add others when needed.
The ecosystem around the tool
Training, certificates, partner networks, a heap of add-ons and integrations other people have built around them. That takes years to grow and we don't have it yet.
A different calculation
What one text costs you
If we compare ourselves not with tools but with what a text actually costs, the picture gets clearer.
Copywriter
€30–80
for a 1,500-word text
Agency
€60–150
for the same text
SEO agency, monthly
€450–1,500
for the full service
One text from a copywriter costs as much as a whole month of our tool — and in that month you also get the data on which question is actually searched for, a text ready for you to publish, and position tracking. The break-even point arrives with the first or second article.
Three ways to work with us
The same tool, three different arrangements. From an account you open in a minute, to a product of your own on your market.
