See the roadmap and suggest an idea

Choose around the work you do.

Choose bisibility when

You want research and rank tracking in one workspace, your choice of SERP provider, and the option to self-host PostgreSQL.

Consider OpenSEO when

You prefer OpenSEO’s MCP and agent skills workflow, with research, audits and Brand Visibility in its toolkit.

Why another open-source SEO tool?

Hi, I'm Michał, the founder of bisibility.

A fair question first: why build this when OpenSEO exists?

I started bisibility around the time OpenSEO was taking off. When it launched, I looked at it closely, liked a lot of it, and asked myself whether to stop. I kept going, because we are building toward different things.

OpenSEO is a fast, agent-first SEO toolkit built on DataForSEO. bisibility starts from a different question: why did my ranking change, and can I trust the number?

That leads to three choices:

  • Your data, your provider. bisibility is not tied to one data source. Rank checks run on DataForSEO or SerpApi, with automatic fallback, and every rank check records which provider returned it, when, and what it cost. We are exploring more providers where their terms allow it.
  • Rankings next to the reasons. Each keyword shows the Search Console clicks and impressions for its query next to the GA4 or Plausible traffic for its ranking page, so a drop comes with context instead of a guess.
  • Yours to keep. AGPL-3.0, self-hosting on your own Postgres, your own keys with no markup, and the same features in the hosted and open-source versions. Agents get MCP and ready-made skills; developers get a REST API and SDKs.

Two open-source tools in this space is good news: more choice, less lock-in, and a reason for both of us to keep getting better. Try both and keep the one that fits your work.

The differences that change your day.

Compare how you use the app, pay for data and operate your setup. BYOK costs depend on usage; self-hosting adds infrastructure and maintenance.

Operating modelbisibilityOpenSEO
Cost model
bisibilityCloud access costs $3/month after a free trial. Provider usage is billed separately through your own keys or optional credits. Self-hosted software has no license fee.
OpenSEO$10/month hosted plan includes $10 of monthly usage; extra usage is purchased separately. Self-hosters pay DataForSEO directly.
Hosting
bisibilityUse the hosted app, or self-host the app, PostgreSQL and Valkey. Scheduled checks require a worker and Temporal. You own upgrades, backups and monitoring when self-hosting.
OpenSEOSelf-host with Docker or Cloudflare, or use its hosted service.
Data and history
bisibilityExport project history by package, CSV or REST API. Self-hosting adds direct SQL access and control of database backups and retention.
OpenSEOSelf-hosting provides a database you operate. Check its deployment guide and export formats.
Connected workflow
bisibilityUse Brand Visibility datasets, multi-model Prompt Playground tests, Project Context and protected Agent Reports through the app, REST API or MCP. Recurring Prompt Tracker retains answers, citations and comparable history. Connect SDKs, the CLI, analytics and webhooks to your workflow.
OpenSEOMCP and agent skills are documented interfaces.

Your own keys, optional credits, or both. Use Cloud with your own provider keys, credits, or both. Credits are optional one-off purchases, separate from Cloud access. See pricing and rollout or estimate provider cost.

Start with a few keywords.

Import your OpenSEO keyword list by CSV and start building history in bisibility. A competitor-specific history importer is not available. Keep your previous exports for the earlier period and compare the same markets, devices and schedules before switching.

Connect agents through the MCP server and run rank tracking with scheduled checks by market. You can also see all features.

Common questions

Is BYOK unique to bisibility?

No. OpenSEO also supports your own DataForSEO key when self-hosting. In bisibility, rank checks can use DataForSEO or SerpApi; keyword, backlink and domain research use DataForSEO. Try the workspace to see which workflow fits.

Can I use built-in credits instead of my own keys?

Yes. Buy optional one-off packages of 1,000, 5,000 or 10,000 credits. Hosted usage costs provider cost plus 30%. Credits are separate from the $3/month Cloud subscription and are non-refundable except where the law requires it.

Can I move from OpenSEO to bisibility?

Import your OpenSEO keyword list by CSV and start building history in bisibility. A competitor-specific history importer is not available. Keep your previous exports for the earlier period and compare the same markets, devices and schedules before switching.
