A Whitespark alternative for people paying for four tools at once
Whitespark sells each tool on its own and says so plainly, which is a good deal if you need exactly one of them. The grid alone is $10 a month and nothing here beats that. The arithmetic changes once you are paying for the grid, the rank tracker, the citation finder and the review platform together.
