Claude“Google Search Console + Bing Webmaster Tools — not crawlers, but essential and free”

Perplexity“The best alternative depends on what you want to replace: Bing Webmaster Tools is the closest free counterpart, while Semrush and Ahrefs are stronger for competitor research, keyword discovery, backlinks, and broader SEO analysis.”
