24 alternatives to OpenSEO

Hello! For the last 2 months, I've been building OpenSEO. It's a user friendly UI wrapping the DataForSEO API which has high quality SEO data for keywords, backlinks, AI SEO and competitor research. Instead of paying $100+ per month, you buy DataForSEO credits and pay only for usage. The coolest thing about the project so far has been hearing about what people are building on top of it. People are using coding agents to quickly integrate with Google Search Console, Google Ads and building their own AI SEO and reporting features. Many were already building their own custom solutions around…

OpenSEO is an open source SEO platform that provides keyword research, competitor analysis, backlink tracking, and site audits. Designed for businesses and marketers who need detailed SEO data without expensive… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes.

    RankAI▲581

    Hey HN, we are building Rankai (https://www.rankai.ai), an AI agent that pushes SEO blogs and code fixes automatically to your site. My teammate previously scaled a product to 4M users via organic traffic and SEO. And we understood the importance of driving SEO traffic for small businesses. But after we talked to a lot of small businesses and startups, we realized that majority are not doing SEO at all. For them, learning and doing SEO weekly is too time-consuming, and no way they'd hire an agency for $4k+. So we tried to automate each step of SEO process in an agentic way using…

    SEO Stuff▲614

    Hi HN! My name is Yossi, and I'm a solo indie maker. SEO tools are super pricey and free tools often fall short, leaving most users to costly subscription-based tools. So, I built SEO Stuff, a keyword tool that uses a credit-based system for builders like me who use SEO more sporadically. Have a great day!

    Gro▲373

    Hey HN, I am Leo Jiang, founder of Gro. I built this to solve the problem of fragmented sales stacks where teams waste hours between lead databases and outreach tools. Gro is a unified AI sales agent that combines a 1b+ contact database with AI propensity scoring and automated outreach across Email and LinkedIn. By putting prospecting and engagement into one workspace, we eliminate manual data hunting so sales reps can focus on closing deals. I would love your thoughts on our approach to automated B2B growth.

    Hello HN! The day has finally come to stop adding features and start sharing what I've been building the last 5-6 months. It's a bit of CrewAI, OpenDevon, LangFuse/Cloud all in one, providing devs who prefer TypeScript an integrated framework thats provides a lot out of the box to start experimenting and building agents with. It started after peeking at the LangChain docs a few times and never liking the example code. I began experimenting with automating a simple Jira request from the engineering team to add an index to one of our Google Spanner databases (for context I'm the…

    BlogSEO▲23

    I've launched multiple online websites in the past, but it always took a lot of my time to do the SEO work so that the website would actually rank on Google & get cited by ChatGPT. So I decided to completely automate it. Create an AI agent that's actually useful; one that work for you, not the other way around. Happy to have feedback!

    ChatSEO▲56

    I built this after getting frustrated with digging through Google Search Console tables and exports just to decide what to work on next to do the SEO of my first project (recipe mobile app). ChatSEO connects to Google Search Console and lets you ask questions in plain language (e.g. pages close to page 1, keywords losing traction, or what actions are likely to have the biggest impact). Under the hood, it combines GSC data with external keyword and SERP data to prioritize SEO actions instead of just showing dashboards. It’s still early: onboarding is basic, recommendations can be noisy, and…

    The official Slack AI product looks great, but with limited access and add-on pricing, I decided to open-source the version I built. Especially for all the communities on Slack that would have to convert to paid and buy the upgrade to access the official SlackAI product/add-on which is not going to be financially viable in most cases. There's no plan to sell anything, just something I built as a way to learn some new tools that I thought others might get use out of. The repo is a ready-to-run slack app that provides thread summaries and channel overviews on demand using OpenAI (heavy…

    SEOZast▲62

    After getting frustrated with expensive and clunky SEO tools, I decided to build my own. I made SEOzast — a tool that lets you generate 1000-word AI-written SEO articles with real backlinks from your site. It’s built for indie hackers, solo founders, and people launching niche projects who want organic traffic without spending $50/month or writing a single blog post. You enter your sites, SEOzast analyzes them to generate titles, descriptions, and topics. Then it handles the rest: from H1 tags to meta descriptions, internal linking from your real articles, and deployment to GitHub in…

    Hey everyone, I wanted to see if I could build something like DataFa.st myself, so I made MochiAnalytics. I'm pretty happy with how it's turning out. It’s got all the bells and whistles a small team or solo founder would need to track campaigns and to see which channel is driving revenue. It’s a cheaper analytics tool for side projects, indie hackers, and small apps. I honestly wish I could make it free, but it still needs servers, a database, and a backend to keep event ingestion running 24/7, so there are real costs behind it. I’m still working on it and will keep adding more features…

    I was watching Deep Research do hours of research in minutes and thought why the hell am I still manually clicking through Ahrefs trying to guess what keywords to check? So I built an AI that does keyword research the same way. The problem with traditional keyword tools is they assume you already know what to look for. But I'd sit there thinking "okay I'm building a developer tool... do I search for 'API monitoring'? 'webhook debugging'? 'API testing'?" Then I'd spend an hour going down rabbit holes and miss the fact that "Postman alternative open source" or something like that gets 2k…
