Verdict
Verdict
Research depth
Discovery
How well the tool supports keyword, competitor, SERP, backlink, or market research before execution.
Linkody
Deep backlink and link-building research capabilities are documented, including metrics, anchor text, competitor gaps, link status, and disavow analysis.
Read the full reviews: Linkody and STAT Search Analytics.
Official homepage documents backlink analytics, competitor Link Intersect, metrics, 24/7 monitoring, and disavow: https://www.linkody.com/
STAT Search Analytics
Very deep SERP and competitor research, including full HTML results and 75+ feature types.
The platform says STAT parses and analyzes everything in the 100-result SERP; SERP feature tracking lists 75+ features and the daily page promises full HTML SERPs: https://getstat.com/platform and https://getstat.com/serp-features
Keyword research quality for SEO content
Discovery
How well the tool identifies, qualifies, clusters, and prioritizes keywords specifically for SEO content creation.
Linkody
Only narrow keyword-related analysis is evidenced: backlink anchor keywords and anchor-text distribution, not keyword discovery or search-volume research.
The official homepage mentions backlink anchor text and keywords, while the anchor tool classifies keyword anchors: https://www.linkody.com/ and https://www.linkody.com/en/seo-tools/backlink-anchor-text-analysis
STAT Search Analytics
Strong keyword expansion and prioritization, but not a full standalone keyword-intelligence suite.
STAT says its Moz Keyword Explorer integration provides 1.25 billion quality-vetted keywords, with sorting by volume/relevancy and filtering: https://getstat.com/keyword-suggestions
Content execution
Execution
How well the tool helps produce, optimize, or operationalize SEO content.
Linkody
No content brief, generation, optimization editor, or publishing capability was found on reviewed official pages.
Reviewed product, pricing, free-tool, and help-center pages describe backlink workflows and reporting but no content execution: https://www.linkody.com/
STAT Search Analytics
It informs content format and opportunity choices, but does not document content drafting or optimization execution.
The official SERP page says STAT identifies content formats and keywords worth pursuing; it does not claim writing or editing: https://getstat.com/serp-features
Context gathering
Grounding
How well the tool gathers the business, competitor, SEO, internal, third-party, and custom API context needed for differentiated recommendations and content.
Linkody
Competitor backlink context and backlink-profile context are supported, but internal-company, third-party-app, and custom-API context are not broadly documented.
Link Intersect and competitor-profile comparison are documented on the homepage: https://www.linkody.com/
STAT Search Analytics
Excellent search-context capture across SERP layouts, features, locations, devices, competitors, CPC and volume.
The daily page says STAT supplies the full HTML SERP, CPC, search volume and daily data at scale; the share-of-voice page adds competitors and multiple market/segment views: https://getstat.com/daily-tracking-analytics and https://getstat.com/share-of-voice
AI-search / GEO
Visibility
How directly the tool helps teams improve visibility in AI answer engines and citation-oriented search journeys.
Linkody
No AI-search, generative-engine optimization, citation monitoring, or GEO workflow was found.
No AI/GEO capability appears on the reviewed official product and pricing pages: https://www.linkody.com/ and https://www.linkody.com/en/plans
STAT Search Analytics
Native AI-search visibility measurement covers prompts, engines, mentions, citations, sentiment and competitors.
The AI visibility page documents prompt generation, ChatGPT/Gemini/AI Mode monitoring, mentions, position, citations, sentiment and competitor comparison: https://getstat.com/ai-visibility
GEO readiness
Visibility
How ready the tool is for generative engine optimization: answer-engine visibility, citation likelihood, AI-search prompt surfaces, and content structures that AI systems can use.
Linkody
No geographic SEO or AI-search geographic readiness feature was found; hosting country is a backlink metric, not a GEO workflow.
The checker documents hosting country only as backlink data: https://www.linkody.com/en/seo-tools/free-backlink-checker
STAT Search Analytics
Strong current GEO measurement and insight readiness; optimization execution remains advisory rather than automated.
STAT says teams can assess AI responses, cited sources and sentiment and use this to shape a GEO content strategy: https://getstat.com/ai-visibility
Technical SEO
Diagnostics
How strong the tool is for crawling, audits, indexability, metadata, status codes, and technical site health.
Linkody
Backlink health can expose lost or changed links, but Linkody is not a site crawler or technical audit suite.
The official feature set centers on backlink monitoring and disavow work, not indexability, metadata, status-code, or site-health crawling: https://www.linkody.com/seo-tools/backlink-monitor/
STAT Search Analytics
Some technical diagnosis is possible through SERP evidence and segmentation, but no crawler/remediation system is documented.
The official segmentation page gives site-migration and cannibalization monitoring as examples, while the product pages do not claim crawling or automated fixes: https://getstat.com/custom-segmentation
Publishing workflow
Operations
How well the tool moves work into CMS, publishing, approvals, or automated production workflows.
Linkody
No editorial calendar, content publishing, CMS publishing, or approval workflow was found.
Reviewed official product and help-center pages focus on link management/reporting rather than publishing: https://www.linkody.com/helpcenter/en
STAT Search Analytics
No built-in CMS publishing or publishing workflow is claimed on the official product pages.
The platform's documented outputs are insights, reports, API and connectors rather than publishing actions: https://getstat.com/platform
Measurement & tracking
Measurement
How well the tool monitors rankings, content performance, visibility, or ongoing SEO progress.
Linkody
Strong backlink measurement: 24/7 monitoring, historical top metrics, email reports, link status changes, competitor tracking, and exports.
Homepage and pricing page document 24/7 monitoring, reports, metrics, analytics, and CSV/PDF exports: https://www.linkody.com/ and https://www.linkody.com/en/plans
STAT Search Analytics
Core strength: daily rankings, SERP history, feature ownership, share of voice and AI visibility trends.
Daily tracking, historical SERP archive, feature ownership and share-of-voice change measurement are explicitly described: https://getstat.com/daily-tracking-analytics, https://getstat.com/serp-features and https://getstat.com/share-of-voice
Team collaboration
Operations
How well the tool fits multi-person workflows, agencies, approvals, handoffs, and repeatable processes.
Linkody
Supports team/client management with roles, domain access controls, multi-user plans, and white-label client reports.
Team/client management and role/domain permissions are documented on the homepage; user limits are listed on pricing: https://www.linkody.com/ and https://www.linkody.com/en/plans
STAT Search Analytics
Strong client/executive reporting and data sharing, though team project-management features are not documented.
STAT provides custom CSV reports, scheduled exports, Looker Studio dashboards and connectors for execs, clients and colleagues: https://getstat.com/reporting-integrations and https://getstat.com/daily-tracking-analytics
Value accessibility
Buying
How easy it is for a team to reach value relative to pricing, setup complexity, and required expertise.
Linkody
Low-priced entry plan, annual discount, 30-day no-card trial, and cancellation to a free plan provide good accessibility.
Current prices, annual savings, trial terms, and free-plan conversion are stated on the official pricing page: https://www.linkody.com/en/plans
STAT Search Analytics
Useful exports/API are included, but access is demo-led and the starting price is $360/month.
The demo page states tracking starts at $360/month for 3,000 keywords and routes users to a one-on-one walkthrough; it also lists complimentary API and connectors: https://getstat.com/demo
Free tools
Buying
How useful the tool is before payment through free tools, free plans, trials, or public utilities.
Linkody
A time-limited trial gives useful access before payment, but there is no permanent free plan.
The official pricing page advertises a 30-day free trial: https://www.linkody.com/pricing/
STAT Search Analytics
No free plan or free product tool is claimed on the official pages reviewed.
The official conversion path is a demo request and the published entry point is paid tracking: https://getstat.com/demo
Estimated customer scale
Market proof
Estimated customer or user scale based on public claims, with source claims stored separately for auditability.
Linkody
No auditable customer count was found; named customer logos/testimonials and a Capterra rating do not establish a customer total.
The homepage shows named logos/testimonials and a 4.9/5 Capterra customer-service claim but no customer count: https://www.linkody.com/
STAT Search Analytics
No first-party numeric customer-count claim was found, so scale is not scored from logos or testimonials.
The official pages show customer logos and testimonials but do not state a customer count: https://getstat.com/case-studies/client-testimonials
Agent readiness level
Automation
How ready the product is to operate as or inside an AI agent workflow, based on tracked subcriteria for autonomy, controls, integrations, memory, and evaluation.
Linkody
A documented REST API with domain, competitor, and link CRUD/read operations provides a modest automation surface, but no agent-specific interface is documented.
Official API documentation describes REST/JSON, paid access, token auth, and domain/competitor/link endpoints: https://www.linkody.com/api/v1
STAT Search Analytics
API, exports, BigQuery and connectors make STAT automatable as a data source, but no autonomous agent framework is claimed.
STAT explicitly provides an included API, CSV reports, Looker Studio connectors and BigQuery connector: https://getstat.com/reporting-integrations
Ease of use and autonomous level
Automation
How easy it is for a team to reach useful outcomes, and how much work the product can perform autonomously after setup.
Linkody
Automatic 24/7 monitoring and email alerts reduce manual work, but the official workflow does not claim autonomous strategy, outreach, or publishing.
Homepage documents automated monitoring, discovery alerts, and email reports, while no autonomous agent workflow is documented: https://www.linkody.com/
STAT Search Analytics
Automated daily collection, dynamic tags and scheduled reports reduce manual work; strategic actions still require people.
Dynamic tags update from rules and scheduled reports/export/API are documented, but no autonomous SEO execution is claimed: https://getstat.com/daily-tracking-analytics and https://getstat.com/custom-segmentation
