Moz’s most famous product is a number. Domain Authority is on every SEO report in the world, and Moz invented it, and everyone knows what it means.
Here is the awkward part. Google does not use it. It is Moz’s estimate of how well a site might rank, which is useful shorthand and is not a task. Nobody has ever raised DA on purpose by doing something DA told them to do. ContextBolt starts from the task instead, for $35 a month, inside the agent that can make the change.
Score chasing versus change making
Watching a score is a comfortable way to feel like you are doing SEO. The number moves, slowly, and you can put it in a slide.
The work that actually moves traffic is narrower and duller. Which queries does this page already show up for. What are the three pages above it answering that it does not. Is the title doing anything. Does the AI answer for the buying question mention us at all.
ContextBolt is built around those questions, and it asks them somewhere unusual. It runs inside Claude, Cursor or Codex, so the answer arrives in the same place you are writing the page. You go from “this page underperforms” to a drafted revision without opening a suite.
What one session looks like
Take a training company with a page for online workshops and another for on-site courses, and no idea which to work on first.
Connect Search Console and ask the agent to compare the two pages over the same window, separating brand searches from people looking for the type of training. That usually settles the argument on its own.
Then look at what currently ranks for the non-branded question. If the results are all course catalogs and your page is an explainer, the page is answering something nobody asked. Run an audit, read it next to that, and ask for one change with a reason attached.
Every one of those lookups saves to your SEO Board automatically. Come back in a fortnight and the evidence is still there, so you are not paying to re-learn what you already found out.
AI answers are in the $35
Moz Standard now includes AI visibility features, so this is not a suite with no AI against one that has it. It is a question of what you pay to get there.
Moz Standard is $99 a month, or $79 billed yearly. ContextBolt is $35 with AI visibility research included. That means historical coverage across Google AI and ChatGPT, and live per-question checks in ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity. You can ask a real buying question, read the answer, and see which sources it leaned on.
That last part is the useful bit. Knowing you are absent from an AI answer is a fact. Knowing which three pages it cited instead is a plan.
The plans, honestly
ContextBolt is $35 a month for 1,000 credits. Different tools cost different amounts, site audits charge per page audited up to 50 a run, and your AI app bills separately.
Moz Starter is $49 a month for one website. Standard is $99, or $79 billed yearly.
So ContextBolt is cheaper than Moz’s entry plan while covering more ground than it. That is the comparison worth making, rather than putting $35 against $99 and looking pleased. Moz’s current plans are worth reading directly, and the SEO tool pricing guide explains how credits, seats and annual billing differ across the category.
Where Moz still fits
Domain Authority, if you report on it. Scheduled project reporting in a format clients recognize, and a suite interface a new team member can be shown around in ten minutes, which is worth more than people admit. If a contract says a rank report lands every Monday, Moz Pro is built for that rhythm.
That is the reporting job, and it is not the job most people arrive here with. If the job is working out why a page underperforms and changing it, ContextBolt runs the research where the fix gets written, keeps every result on your SEO Board, and connects Search Console for daily snapshots of your own numbers, for $35 with a seven-day trial.
Try it on one page
Give it one commercially important page and one question about why it is not doing better.
If you come out with a change you understand and could publish today, that is the product working. Start the 7-day trial with 100 credits. A card is required, and it becomes $35 a month unless you cancel before the trial ends. For the bigger suite question, ContextBolt SEO vs Ahrefs is next.
