Scite Is What Surfer Wishes It Was

I am not here to play with features. The SEO space is crowded. Surfer and Scite are the two I keep coming back to, for different reasons.

What I would do differently: Surfer. tells you exactly what to include to rank and shows a live score Surfer chases keywords until the prose sounds like a robot.

Scite shows how papers cite each other so you see support or dispute. Here is where it fell apart: Scite leans coverage toward the already-indexed and the obvious.

The test I actually care about is a rank check. One made it a non-event; the other made me think about the tool instead of the work.

I would pay for Scite and borrow Surfer. Scite shows how papers cite each other so you see support or dispute. Surfer is better only when you need a live rank score, which is not every day for me.
