Method and what each row means

We read each company's own website: its pricing page, docs, help center, terms and announcements. Review sites, directories and articles about a company are never a source. Every value links to its source, with the date we checked it. Serpier's facts follow the same rule and come from Serpier's own website.

Prices are per month and exclude VAT, in the currency the company publishes. A price in another currency is also shown in EUR, at the ECB reference rate of 26 October 2026. Some companies show other prices or currencies depending on where the visitor is, so the page says which visitor the prices were shown to.

Each value in the table is one of these, or the number or words the company uses:

Yes:
the company's own pages say the product has it.
No:
the company's own pages say it is not offered, or a complete plan table leaves it out.
Partly:
offered with a limit, written next to the value.
Not stated:
we could not find it on the company's own pages. It does not mean No.
Not public:
the company does not publish it, for example a price behind Contact sales.

Published prices:
Prices the vendor publishes, for example a price per link at a given domain rating, with the plan or tier.
Minimum order:
The smallest deposit or order the vendor accepts.
Article writing:
Whether writing the article is included, costs extra and how much, or is left to you.
Time to publish:

Link guarantee:
How long a link is guaranteed and what happens if it disappears, such as a replacement or a refund.

Suggested next steps:
Whether the product suggests what to do next for your site, rankings, links or AI visibility.
Task board and AI agent:
Whether you can track the work in the product and hand tasks to an AI agent that does them, with your approval.
Scheduled automations:
Whether the product can run a task or report on a schedule you set, such as a weekly summary.
