Where Sistrix and Mangools differ
Across the six points below, Sistrix has the edge on 3 points, Mangools on 1 point and 2 are a tie. A count like that is a summary, not a verdict: the point that matters to you may be the one the other product wins.
Pricing model
Sistrix lists four monthly packages on a server-rendered page: Start €119, Plus €239, Professional €419 and Premium €799, plus taxes, cancelable monthly. Mangools shows its plans through a script-loaded table that did not render when checked, so no list price is confirmed here (EP's tool page says from about €29 a month on annual billing). No verified winner.
No clear winner on this point.
Data history and market view
Sistrix measures visibility for over 100 million domains in 30+ countries and keeps a full 11-year history from the Professional package up; Start gets 3 months, Plus 5 years. Mangools advertises a 2.5 billion keyword database and 30 million stored SERPs, but its pages state no history length. For trend analysis over years, Sistrix is documented further.
Edge: Sistrix
Local detail
Mangools says its tools cover more than 65,000 city-level locations, and SERPWatcher tracks ranks with weekly updates (daily on the Agency plan). The Sistrix pricing page counts countries, not cities, and ties SERP updates to a monthly quota of 2,500 on Start. For a local business tracking one city, Mangools states more.
Edge: Mangools
Crawling and content tools
Sistrix includes an on-page crawler built on Googlebot-style technology, with 3 projects and 30,000 crawled URLs a month on Start, and adds a content planner and plagiarism checks from Plus. Mangools lists KWFinder, SERPChecker, SERPWatcher, LinkMiner, SiteProfiler and AI Search Watcher; a site crawler is not among them.
Edge: Sistrix
Teams, API and support
Sistrix Start has one user; Plus has three, extra accounts cost €24.90, the API opens at Professional and roles with an audit log at Premium. Phone support begins at Professional. Mangools offers an API, white-label reports and a Looker Studio connector, but user limits and API quotas were not verifiable on its pages.
Edge: Sistrix
AI search visibility
Sistrix has AI Check and Prompt Tracking, both in beta and included in every package at the time of checking, with 9,300 prompt updates a month on Start. Mangools sells AI Search Watcher, which it describes as tracking visibility in AI answers across LLMs. Both tools are young, and neither page gives accuracy figures.
No clear winner on this point.
When neither Sistrix nor Mangools fits
For a free or cheaper start, Seobility has a free tier on EP; Ryte focuses on website quality, and Xovi or PageRangers offer other suites for German-speaking teams.
Sistrix vs Mangools: questions
Sistrix publishes €119 a month as its entry package, plus taxes. Mangools did not show a price in the page text we could read, so a verified comparison is not possible; EP lists Mangools from about €29 a month on annual billing.
Both contracting entities are in the EU: SISTRIX GmbH in Bonn, Germany and CodeCat s.r.o. (trading as Mangools) in Bratislava, Slovakia. Neither page we read names a data centre location, so ask each vendor before signing a data processing agreement.
Sistrix shows a Test for free button on its Start and Plus packages. Mangools offers a free account; the length and limits of its trial were not stated in the text we could read, so check them on its sign-up page.
Not on the evidence of its tool list: Mangools names keyword, SERP, rank, backlink and site-metric tools, with no crawler. Sistrix includes an on-page crawler in every package, so technical audits are a reason to pick Sistrix.
