A specialist worth having when link analysis is the job and you already have a suite for everything else. As a first and only SEO subscription it is too narrow.

About MajesticMajestic

Majestic maintains its own index of links and sells access to it rather than a general SEO suite. The plans are measured in analysis units and rows returned in Site Explorer: Lite includes one million units and 5,000 rows, Pro twenty million units and 30,000 rows, and the API plan a hundred million units and 50,000 rows. A free backlink checker is available without a subscription, and rank tracking is offered through a Google Search Console connection.

TechBigs assessment

Who it suits, what to watch, how it is priced — from the recorded facts

Majestic maintains its own index of links and sells access to it rather than a general SEO suite. Plans are measured in analysis units and rows returned in Site Explorer: Lite includes one million units and 5,000 rows, Pro twenty million and 30,000, and the API plan a hundred million and 50,000. A free backlink checker is available without a subscription.

Works well

  • An independent link index, useful as a second opinion against Ahrefs or Semrush
  • A free backlink checker without a subscription for quick lookups
  • The API plan is a documented, priced route for teams building their own reporting

Watch out for

  • Deliberately narrow: no content tooling, no site audit, no keyword research
  • Analysis units and row limits are harder to plan against than keyword counts
  • Only Google Sheets is verified as an integration

Who it fits

Majestic fits link builders, digital PR teams and analysts who want a second index to check what Ahrefs or Semrush report.

If you need one tool to cover rankings, audits and content, look at SE Ranking, Semrush or Moz Pro.
