SEOTesting alternative
An SEOTesting alternative that picks the change before it measures it.
SEOTesting proves whether a change you chose worked. QueryScope also chooses it: one search, one page and one move, handed to your coding agent, then measured from the day Google recrawls the page.
From $49/mo, everything included · works in Claude Code, Cursor, Cline and Windsurf
The real answer this site got on 2026-10-02, after the change it describes shipped.
Side by side
Both measure SEO changes. Only one decides which change to make.
SEOTesting is a testing lab for changes you already chose. QueryScope is the loop around it: pick, propose, ship, measure.
| SEOTesting | QueryScope | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | In their words, it "helps you prove what's working in SEO and AI search" using your Search Console and GA4 data. | An SEO agent over MCP that holds your plan, picks the next change and measures it. |
| Price | $50/mo for 1 site, $125/mo for 5, $375/mo for 20. Enterprise on request. | $49/mo for 1 site, $99 for 3, $149 for 10. 20% off yearly. |
| Trial | 14 days, no card. | 7 days, card up front. |
| Who picks the change | You do, then set it up as a test. | QueryScope hands back the next one: the search, the page and the move. |
| Kinds of test | Time-based against a forecast, split tests with a control group, and LLM tests. | Before and after, on the search the change was aimed at. |
| When the clock starts | A start date you set for the test. | The day Google recrawls the page, so the days before it is read are not counted. |
| Before an edit goes live | Your call. | Anything a visitor reads is proposed in queryscope.md and waits for your commit. |
| MCP server | Yes, alongside an API. | Yes. The MCP server is the product. |
| GA4 and AI traffic | Yes, including sessions from ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini. | No. It stops at the click. |

Who should stay on SEOTesting, and who should not.
You run split tests across groups of pages.
A control group is the strongest test design there is, and SEOTesting is built around it. QueryScope measures one change on one search at a time and has no control group.
You need to measure traffic from AI assistants or GA4.
SEOTesting reads GA4 and tracks sessions from ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini. QueryScope stops at the click.
The hard part is knowing what to change, not proving it.
QueryScope reads your repo, sizes the searches your buyers type, and hands your coding agent one change at a time. Every change is still measured, and the page is not handed back until it is.

FAQ
SEOTesting alternative: common questions.
Does QueryScope do split testing?
No. It measures each change before and after, on the one search the change was aimed at, and keeps a second edit off that page until the reading settles. If you need a control group of pages, SEOTesting is the better tool.
Why start the clock at the recrawl?
Because Google cannot react to a page it has not read yet. Counting from the day you shipped mixes days of the old page into the after-period and makes a real change look smaller than it was.
Is QueryScope cheaper than SEOTesting?
It depends on how many sites you run. For one site they are level: SEOTesting is $50/mo, QueryScope $49. For 3 sites QueryScope is $99/mo. For 5 to 10 sites QueryScope is $149/mo against SEOTesting's $125 (5 sites) or $375 (20 sites).
Can I use both?
Yes. Both read your own Search Console, so you can keep SEOTesting for formal split tests and use QueryScope to decide what to change next.
Is QueryScope connected to SEOTesting or Google?
No to both. QueryScope is independent. It reads your own Search Console over a read-only grant you approve and can revoke.
