TextArray vs SmallSEOTools
Updated July 22, 2026
SmallSEOTools is a huge, well-known suite — 200+ free SEO and text utilities covering plagiarism checking, grammar, word counting, rewriting and more. If you need SEO-specific features like plagiarism detection or backlink analysis, which genuinely require a server, it is a natural stop.
The experience is the trade-off. The free tools are wrapped in heavy advertising, and many of them upload your text to a server to work. TextArray takes the opposite stance: no ads, nothing uploaded, and every tool runs in your own browser.
Where SmallSEOTools is strong
- SEO-specific tools — plagiarism, keyword and backlink checks — that inherently need a server.
- A very broad, long-established free toolset with wide brand recognition.
- Document upload and URL checking for content-analysis tasks.
For the everyday text work the two overlap on — counting words and characters, changing case, removing duplicate lines, find-and-replace — TextArray does it without ads, without an upload, and with a live tally of exactly what changed. Your text never leaves the page, which also makes it safe for anything confidential.
SmallSEOTools reaches into SEO territory TextArray does not try to cover; plagiarism and originality checks are impossible to do locally. Where the job is manipulating your own text quickly and privately, TextArray is the cleaner, faster tool — 590+ of them behind one ⌘K palette, in 18 languages.
