COMPARISON · CHECKED AUGUST 26, 2026
If you already know what a good title tag looks like and want the fastest possible read of a page, install theirs — it is excellent, it is free, and it runs on Firefox too. Install ours if you want the page graded rather than described: a score, a letter, and the specific fixes that would raise it. They are not mutually exclusive, and plenty of people run both.
Written by SEO Bandwagon, who make one of the two extensions on this page. We have tried to make that impossible to forget rather than easy to miss: Detailed SEO Extension's advantages are listed before ours, and every row in the table below is checkable against their own Chrome Web Store listing.
This section comes first on purpose. Detailed SEO Extension is published by Ahrefs Pte. Ltd. and, as of August 26, 2026, its Chrome Web Store listing shows 600,000 users at 4.9 out of 5, from 232 ratings. It runs on Chrome and Firefox, and was last updated 2 June 2026.
Capabilities only — nothing here rates how well either tool does its job. 5 rows go our way, 2 go theirs.
| CAPABILITY | SEO BANDWAGON | DETAILED SEO EXTENSION |
|---|---|---|
| Scores the page and assigns a letter gradeThe difference the whole comparison turns on: one tool reports, the other evaluates. | Yes | No |
| Lists prioritised fixes, ranked by impact | Yes | No |
| Google SERP preview of the title and description | Yes | No |
| Heading structure outline | Yes | Yes |
| Structured data / schema view | Yes | Yes |
| Core Web Vitals, measured on the page | Yes | No |
| Readability scoring | Yes | No |
| Free, with no sign-in required to analyse | Yes | Yes |
| Firefox buildTheirs, not ours. A Firefox port is on our roadmap and is not shipped. | No | Yes |
| Published install count and ratingThey have 600,000 installs and 231 ratings. We are new and have neither. | No | Yes |
Every row above was checked on August 26, 2026 against Detailed SEO Extension's own Chrome Web Store listing and its published changelog, and against our own extension in the same sitting. Install counts and ratings are whatever the Web Store displayed that day.
Products change. A comparison page that is right on the day it ships and never re-checked becomes a false claim about someone else's software, so this one carries its date in the open and gets re-verified before every publish rather than left to age.
If something here is wrong or out of date, tell us and we will fix it.
