Majestic is not a lightweight backlink add-on. Its Fresh and Historic indexes, Site Explorer, network views, link context, comparisons, and proprietary metrics support detailed link research that a broader SEO platform should not claim to reproduce exactly.
Trust Flow, Citation Flow, Topical Trust Flow, and Visibility Flow are Majestic metrics derived from its own web map. They are useful for like-for-like comparisons inside Majestic, but they are not interchangeable with another provider's authority or quality scores.
Majestic maps how the web links together. Screpy adds the technical layer: recurring crawls, indexability, metadata, canonicals, broken links, images, internal links, issue history, and prioritized fixes.
Majestic Pro includes a Search Console-based rank view and link-driven keyword tools. Screpy adds dedicated rank tracking, organic keyword research, SERP analysis, Search Console opportunities, CTR, cannibalization, and content-decay workflows.
Majestic analyzes hyperlinks across the web. Screpy adds a different citation surface: brand mentions, cited sources, prompt-level answers, sentiment, positions, competitors, and share of voice across supported AI assistants.
Majestic's $399.99 monthly API plan provides full programmatic access to its specialist link dataset. Screpy's API and MCP expose broader project, crawl, search, performance, uptime, backlink, and AI workflows at a different scale and price point.
Choose by backlink depth, proprietary metrics, broader SEO coverage, team access, and API requirements.
Connect backlink monitoring to technical audits, rankings, Search Console, performance, uptime, AI visibility, and reports.
Track AI answers and crawler traffic while connecting structured SEO project data to assistants and automations.
Use Site Explorer, Fresh Index, Trust Flow, Topical Trust Flow, Link Context, and Link Graph for specialist link investigation.
Use Historic Index, Compare Sites, Clique Hunter, raw exports, larger allowances, or full API access when they are essential.
Backlink indexes and proprietary metrics cannot be migrated one-for-one. Preserve the evidence and reporting definitions before replacing the workflow.
Inventory campaigns, verified domains, Fresh and Historic reports, saved comparisons, keyword lists, alerts, exports, OpenApps, API calls, and Flow Metrics used in decisions.
Save backlinks, referring domains, anchors, topics, new and lost links, link context, IPs, subnets, comparison reports, and historical snapshots allowed by the current plan.
Record where Trust Flow, Citation Flow, Topical Trust Flow, and related thresholds appear in qualification rules, dashboards, client reports, and contracts.
Configure backlinks, referring domains, disavow management, audits, rankings, Search Console, performance, uptime, AI visibility, and reports in Screpy.
Test both platforms on the same domain set. Compare discovery, freshness, history, duplicates, anchors, link attributes, filters, and export needs without assuming equivalent indexes.
Confirm team access, alerts, reports, integrations, KPI definitions, and stakeholder decisions before cancelling Majestic or changing API consumers.
Majestic prices, allowances, tools, metrics, index details, and API access were checked against its current official pages. Live index counts change continuously and are intentionally not presented as permanent comparison claims.

Short answers about Majestic pricing, reviews, alternatives, backlink data, Trust Flow, API access, and switching.
The best alternative depends on the job. Screpy is a strong choice when backlink monitoring must connect with website audits, rankings, Search Console, performance, uptime, AI visibility, reports, API, and MCP. Majestic remains stronger for specialist link intelligence, proprietary Flow Metrics, and historical backlink research.
Yes at the public prices checked on September 3, 2026. Screpy Pro costs $19 per month and includes five projects and five seats. Majestic Lite costs $49.99 per month for one user, Pro costs $99.99, and full API access starts at $399.99. Scope and data depth differ substantially.
Majestic Lite is $49.99 monthly, Pro is $99.99 monthly, and API is $399.99 monthly in US dollars before VAT. Annual billing is $499.99, $999.99, and $3,999.90 respectively. Each plan has different users, analysis units, report units, row limits, indexes, and API access.
Majestic provides changing public Site Explorer sample data and free access for verified-domain workflows, but its complete toolset and resource allowances require a paid subscription. Lite and Pro offer a seven-day money-back guarantee to eligible first-time customers rather than a standard unrestricted free plan.
Trust Flow is one of Majestic's proprietary Flow Metric scores derived from its web map. Majestic recommends using Flow Metrics for like-for-like comparisons, such as comparing homepages with homepages, and following long-term trends rather than treating one score as an absolute verdict.
Both are Majestic metrics, but they measure different aspects of a link profile. Their balance can provide context that either score alone cannot. They should not be translated directly into another provider's authority score because each index and algorithm is different.
Fresh Index focuses on recently discovered link data and is available from Lite. Historic Index preserves Majestic's long-range backlink record and requires Pro or API. Use Fresh for current changes and Historic for older link research, recovery, and trend analysis.
Majestic Pro lists Rank Tracker via Google Search Console. This differs from a dedicated rank tracker that actively monitors chosen keywords, locations, and devices. Screpy includes dedicated Rank Tracker and Search Console workflows.
Majestic audits backlink profiles and link relationships; it is not a full technical site crawler. Screpy's Website Audit checks crawlability, indexability, metadata, canonicals, links, images, structured data, and recurring technical issues across the site.
Majestic includes Keyword Checker and Search Explorer, which use signals from its web map. It is not the same scope as a traditional keyword research platform centered on search volume, difficulty, intent, SERP competitors, and tracked rankings.
Yes. Full API access starts on the $399.99 monthly API plan, which includes five users and one hundred million analysis units at the checked price. OpenApps lets third-party applications connect customer accounts under a different usage model.
Screpy can replace the broader monitoring workflow for teams that need backlinks alongside audits, rankings, Search Console, performance, uptime, AI visibility, and reports. It does not reproduce Majestic's proprietary Flow Metrics, Fresh and Historic indexes, network visualizations, or high-volume link API.
Yes. Majestic can remain the specialist backlink research and qualification source while Screpy handles recurring site audits, rank tracking, Search Console opportunities, performance, uptime, AI visibility, and broader reporting.
Export backlinks, referring domains, anchors, topics, new and lost links, link context, IP and subnet data, campaigns, comparisons, historical reports, Flow Metric thresholds, alerts, verified domains, API consumers, and every report that depends on Majestic-specific scores.
Connect backlink monitoring to audits, rankings, Search Console, performance, uptime, AI visibility, and reports in one Screpy workspace.
