What each tool is for
Moz Pro is one of the longest-running SEO platforms. Its reputation rests on Domain Authority, a widely cited metric, plus keyword research, link exploration, rank tracking, and site crawls. It is an approachable, mature suite for teams doing ongoing SEO work.
SEO AEO Specialist was built for a newer reality. Search increasingly happens inside AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews, not just the classic results page. SEO AEO Specialist crawls your site once and reports on both traditional SEO health and AEO, whether AI tools can actually read and cite your content, then gives you a prioritized fix list. No Domain Authority score, no keyword database; just a clear audit.

Moz Pro plans start at $49/mo (about $39/mo annually) and scale to $299/mo, with additional costs for extra user seats, campaigns, crawled pages, and keywords. That is normal for a suite but can add up.
SEO AEO Specialist keeps it simple: free for 50 pages, €9 for a one-time full report, €19/mo per domain with no add-on metering.
When to choose which
Choose Moz Pro if you want an all-round SEO suite with keyword research, rank tracking, and the Domain Authority metric your team may already rely on. Moz is a solid, familiar choice for ongoing SEO programs.
Choose SEO AEO Specialist if you want to know whether your site is technically healthy and visible to both search engines and AI answer engines, without suite pricing or the setup. It fits founders, small teams, and agencies who need a fast, affordable audit, and it covers AEO, which legacy suites like Moz do not center on.
The two are not mutually exclusive. A team can keep Moz for research and rank tracking while using SEO AEO Specialist for the recurring SEO + AEO health check.
FAQ
Is SEO AEO Specialist a replacement for Moz Pro?
For the job of auditing and fixing your own site, including AEO, yes. For keyword research, rank tracking, and Domain Authority, no. SEO AEO Specialist does not include those, so heavy Moz users may keep both.
What does SEO AEO Specialist do that Moz does not?
SEO AEO Specialist checks AEO, whether AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews can read and cite your content, in the same crawl as its SEO audit. Moz is centered on classic SEO. Always confirm current features on each vendor's site.
How does pricing compare?
SEO AEO Specialist is free for 50 pages, €9 for a one-time full report, and €19/mo per domain. Moz Pro starts at $49/mo (about $39/mo annually), with add-on fees for extra seats, pages, and keywords.
Does Moz measure AI answer visibility?
Moz is built around traditional SEO metrics like Domain Authority and keyword rankings. AEO is not a core Moz feature. SEO AEO Specialist is designed around it.
Are there hidden costs with SEO AEO Specialist?
No. There is no credit system and no per-page or per-keyword metering. You get the free tier, the €9 report, or the €19/mo plan as stated.
Which is better for a quick one-time audit?
SEO AEO Specialist. The €9 one-time report gives you a full SEO + AEO audit without a monthly subscription, which Moz does not offer at that price point.
