Pick Moz Pro if you want a cloud tool you can log into from anywhere, share with a colleague, and use to show clients easy reports and Domain Authority. Pick SEO PowerSuite if you're a hands-on SEO who wants unlimited projects and keywords for a flat yearly fee, and you don't mind running desktop software on your own machine.
Pick Moz Pro if
- You want browser-based software with nothing to install.
- Several people need access to the same campaigns.
- Domain Authority is the metric your clients or link partners use.
- You track a few sites and a few hundred keywords.
Pick SEO PowerSuite if
- You want unlimited projects, keywords and site crawls without per-keyword fees.
- You're happy paying yearly, or for two or three years up front, to cut the price.
- You're a solo SEO or small agency that works from one computer.
- You want a free version to test the workflow before buying.
How they differ
Pricing. As of November 2026, Moz Pro starts at $49/month on a Starter plan for a single website. Moz Pro Standard is $99/month billed monthly, or $79/month billed yearly. It includes one user, 3 tracked sites and 300 tracked keywords. SEO PowerSuite Professional is $349 billed yearly, which works out to $29.10/month. It drops to $19.95/month on a three-year plan. SEO PowerSuite is sold only as an annual-or-longer subscription.
Core strength. Moz is cloud-based and approachable, with reporting a non-specialist can read and the MozBar extension for quick checks. SEO PowerSuite is a set of desktop apps (Rank Tracker, WebSite Auditor, SEO SpyGlass and LinkAssistant) with no caps on projects, keywords, crawls or backlinks on paid plans.
The catch with Professional. SEO PowerSuite's entry plan doesn't include saving or emailing reports, white-label reports, scheduled reporting or CSV exports. Those start on Enterprise at $599/year. If you report to clients, budget for Enterprise.
Where each falls short. Moz gets expensive as you add keywords ($20/month per 200) and seats ($49/month each). SEO PowerSuite runs on your computer, so collaboration is clunky, and its free version can't save projects.
