Where LaunchRanked fits

Disclosure: LaunchRanked is our product. Where we list it, we say so, and we place it under the use case it fits rather than at the top by default. Everything else here is from the vendors’ own sites or our research, and we say where they’re better.

Keep an SEO plugin: it handles titles, schema, sitemaps and redirects, and nothing we do replaces it. If you run many sites, compare renewal prices, not first-year ones.

Autopilot ($49/mo, early access) sits on top of whichever plugin you choose: it publishes posts to WordPress and, each month, rewrites titles and snippets on pages that Search Console shows ranking on page 1–2.
