Conductor alternative
This page compares Conductor and Stillindexed on price, check cadence and alerts. We make one of these two, so here is the short version before anything else: if you are an in-house enterprise team, Conductor is the more capable product. They crawl the whole site continuously, and their feature set is much deeper than ours. We are a cheaper, published-price, self-serve monitor that watches a list of URLs you choose. Those are different products, and this page says which one you should pick.
What each one is
Conductor Monitoring, formerly ContentKing, is an enterprise real-time SEO monitoring product. It continuously crawls the entire site, and its feature set covers integrations, segments, and an enterprise support model. It is the more capable product, and it is sold through a self-serve 21-day trial and a sales conversation, with plan descriptions published and the price figures not.
stillindexed is a different product, not a smaller version of theirs. We watch a list of URLs you choose for a specific set of directive changes: a page stops being indexable, a status becomes an error, a canonical changes, a title changes, an H1 changes or disappears, a redirect chain changes, a meta description changes. That is the whole job, and we publish every price.

Choose Conductor if
- You are an in-house enterprise team. Procurement, budget, a contract, an account manager, and a sales call are part of how you buy software.
- You need to monitor the whole site continuously. A full-site crawl with a deep feature set is what Conductor is for, and it is genuinely better at it than we are.
- You want integrations, segments, and an enterprise support model. Those are real capabilities we do not offer.
Choose stillindexed if
- You are a freelancer or a small agency. You want to know within 15 to 30 minutes when a specific client page stops being indexable, and you want the alert to land in Telegram.
- You do not want a sales call to find out the price. Our prices are on this page, on the pricing page, and at checkout. There is no "contact us".
- You watch a chosen list of URLs, not a whole site. If the set of pages that matter to you is a list, the list is what we watch, and the list is the price.
The honest difference
Conductor is the more capable product. It crawls a whole site, has a deeper feature set, and sells to teams that need enterprise buying. That is real, and if you are that team, you should buy it.
We are not trying to be a smaller Conductor. We watch a list of URLs for a specific set of directive changes, we publish every price, and we alert fast. For a freelancer who manages client sites and wants to know the moment a page stops being indexable, without a sales call, that is the honest match.
Questions
- Is Conductor Monitoring better than stillindexed.com?
- In raw capability, yes. Conductor Monitoring, formerly ContentKing, is an enterprise product that continuously crawls your whole site. stillindexed.com watches a list of URLs you choose for a specific set of directive changes. They are different products, not a larger and a smaller version of the same one.
- How much does Conductor Monitoring cost?
- No price figure is published. Conductor does publish plan descriptions, and the old ContentKing pricing URL redirects to a direct 21-day trial you can start without talking to anyone. stillindexed.com publishes every price: $${starter.monthly} a month for Starter and $${agency.monthly} a month for Agency.
- What does Conductor Monitoring monitor?
- It continuously crawls the whole site, not just chosen URLs. Its documentation covers noindex, status errors, missing pages, broken links, schema and content changes, plus custom elements, alongside integrations, segments and an enterprise support model. The paid price figures are the part that is not public. It is a genuinely more capable product at the site-crawl level.
- Can a freelancer use Conductor Monitoring?
- It is built for in-house enterprise teams with a procurement process, a budget, and a need to monitor the whole site continuously. The 21-day trial is self-serve, so a freelancer can evaluate it, but the unpublished price figures and the enterprise contract model are aimed at a different buyer.
- Is there a free trial of Conductor Monitoring?
- Yes, 21 days, and contentkingapp.com/pricing redirects to conductor.com/free-trial/monitoring/start, so the trial is self-serve. We do not offer one, which is a real advantage for them if you want to test before paying. Our answer is different rather than better: every check the product runs is available as a free ungated tool with no account, and paid plans carry a 30 day refund.
- What do we actually check on a URL?
- A specific set of directive changes: whether a page stops being indexable, an HTTP status turning into an error, the redirect target domain changing, the canonical changing, the title changing, the H1 changing or being removed, the redirect chain changing, and the meta description changing. Each URL is fetched on a schedule and compared against its previous fetch.

Check it yourself before believing any of this
We make one of the products being compared, so the useful thing we can offer is not another claim. These run one check against any URL, free, with no account and no email.
If a result surprises you on a client site, that is the thing this category exists to catch. Six checks when a site disappears from Google walks the same ground by hand.
