The problem
Why freelancers struggle with SEO tools
-
Prospects ask for "a quick competitive analysis" before signing. Doing it for free eats your weekend.
-
Solo retainer SEOs need to look bigger than they are to compete with agencies.
-
You can't justify $200+/mo Ahrefs and Semrush subscriptions at 3-5 active clients.

FAQ
Common questions
Will the report look professional enough for client delivery?
Yes. BYOK plan gives you HTML files you can rebrand. The report itself is structured like a senior analyst deliverable, not a tool dump.
Can I run reports for clients who have NDA restrictions?
Rivalist doesn't train models on customer audit content. Crawl data and outputs stay scoped to your account. See our privacy policy for details.
How long is the learning curve?
Five minutes. Enter two URLs, get a report. No setup, no API keys (Hosted plan). BYOK requires one Claude key (~10 min setup).
