The usual reason to look for an SEO Gets alternative isn't unhappiness. SEO Gets is a well-liked product: a clean dashboard over Search Console data, priced for indie budgets, with archiving so your data outlives Google's 16-month window. If that describes everything you need, keep it.
Month17 differs on two specifics: how long the archive lasts, and what gets to query it.
Get early access Free during early access. No card required.
The two differences
Retention. SEO Gets keeps your data for five years. Month17 keeps it with no limit. Five years sounds like forever until you're four years in and the clock starts mattering again. Archiving has a strange property: the oldest data is the most valuable, because it's the data nobody else can reconstruct. A retention cap expires exactly the rows you bought the product to protect.
Interface. SEO Gets renders charts in a browser, and does it well. Month17 has no dashboard. The archive sits behind an MCP server, and your AI tools are the interface: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, anything that speaks MCP. A dashboard answers the questions its designer predicted. A model with tool access answers the question you actually have, like "which pages decayed for three straight quarters, and was it rankings or CTR?"
On price they're neighbors: Month17 is free during early access and lands at $10 a month after, and SEO Gets sits in the same range. Cost won't decide this.
Who should stay on SEO Gets
If your workflow is visual, you check your sites weekly in a browser, and you don't work in AI coding tools, SEO Gets is built for exactly that. Month17 doesn't try to out-dashboard it, and switching would cost you the interface you like most.
Who should switch, or run both
If Claude or Cursor is open all day and Search Console questions keep routing through your eyeballs into a chat window anyway, Month17 closes that loop: years of GSC data become context your AI can query directly, with 22 MCP tools on top of it.
Running both is a legitimate answer too. SEO Gets for the charts, Month17 as the permanent copy and the AI interface. At these prices the combination still costs less than one seat of a mid-tier SEO suite.
One thing neither tool can do is backfill past what Google still holds. Whichever way you go, the 16-month window is shrinking under your history today, and the archive you start now is the one that will look prescient in two years.
