The honest take
Free score widgets are fine for a quick gut check. They rarely show sitewide duplicates, crawl coverage, or exportable fix lists.
SEOHub’s free tier is a homepage score preview (including AI visibility). The paid unlock expands into a crawl with checklist, fixes, and exports.
You also get standalone free tools — robots, headers, redirects, schema, broken links — without ad-gated popups for every click.
Side by side

| Sitewide crawl | Optional paid crawl up to 200 pages | Usually homepage-only |
| Toolkit | Keywords, meta preview, technical inspectors, generators | Varies; many are score-only pages |
| Account / email wall | No account required for tools or preview | Common email gates before showing results |

- The homepage preview and toolkit are free. A full-site crawl with complete fixes is a one-time unlock — not a subscription.
