Compare

Same price, same promise. Here is where they differ.

Distribb and SEOLadders both write and publish your articles, run a backlink exchange and track you across the AI engines, for $97 a month. The difference is in the work on pages you already have, and how the result is measured.

vs
D

The short version

Distribb is the closest product to SEOLadders on the market. Its Pro plan is $97 a month for 30 long articles a month, auto-published to nine CMSs (WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, Wix, Ghost, Notion, Framer, GoHighLevel and a webhook), a three-way backlink exchange, drafted outreach, a site audit, Search Console analytics and AI-visibility tracking across five engines. It also ships a REST API, an MCP server and an agent skill, and the founders take calls with customers on every plan.

The differences are narrower than usual, so they are worth reading closely. Distribb's work on existing pages, Optimizations, is in beta and every rewrite waits for approval; SEOLadders includes five rewrites a month of pages that are slipping, finds pages competing for the same search from your Search Console data, and tracks your rankings next to the calendar. Distribb covers more CMSs and sells a done-for-you social and video tier; SEOLadders keeps one plan.

If you publish to Webflow, Shopify, Ghost or Framer, want founder calls on demand, or want someone to post your content to social and video for you, Distribb is a strong choice. If the pages you already have matter as much as the new ones, and you want rankings and AI mentions measured in one place, SEOLadders does more of that inside the same $97.

Where each tool fits.

What Distribb does well

  • Nine CMS integrations, including Webflow, Shopify, Ghost, Notion and Framer, where SEOLadders publishes to WordPress directly and everything else over a webhook.
  • A clearly explained backlink exchange: three-way placement, so no two sites trade links directly, same-niche matching and contextual links only.
  • Founder access on every plan, with calls whenever you want them.
  • A done-for-you tier that also turns articles into videos, carousels and Medium posts.
  • A strong developer surface: a documented REST API, a hosted MCP server and an agent skill.

Why teams choose SEOLadders

  • The work on pages you already have is a finished part of the plan: five rewrites a month of declining or almost-ranking pages, where Distribb's equivalent is in beta and waits on approval.
  • Competing pages are found from your own Search Console data and shown with the page that should own the query, and the plan never schedules two articles for the same search.
  • AI visibility is checked three times a week across six engines, Claude included, on the 30 prompts you choose.
  • Rank tracking sits next to the calendar, so an article is measured rather than counted, and the next one is chosen from evidence.
  • Articles about tools show real screenshots of each product, and every cover is designed for its article.
