At a glance
Search Atlas sits in the AI SEO / white-label SEO lane: research, content ops, and agency portals. YG3 is a marketing workspace your agent provisions for a business — site host, presence, content, then gated spend and send. If your shortlist started on “SEO MCP” or “white-label AI SEO,” Search Atlas is a credible peer. If the job is “Claude owns site + content + SEO + outbound,” YG3 matches the job more completely.
Where Search Atlas fits
Choose Search Atlas when the primary deliverable is AI SEO / white-label SEO (and related agent tooling) for clients under your brand, you already have hosting/CRM elsewhere, and you want an SEO-native MCP. It is a strong SEO suite with a large hosted MCP. It is not trying to be Free forever site hosting plus a claim handoff for the end business under one YG3-style workspace ladder.
Where YG3 is different
YG3 starts from a provisioned workspace the human claims:
- Free sandbox publishes to {slug}.yg3sites.com; Live $20 attaches their domain.
- MCP on mcp.yg3.ai with Bearer token after one POST — built for autonomous agents.
- Software unlocks Google Ads write, outbound email, and LinkedIn on the same workspace.
- Managed ($1,500) runs those channels with a certified partner — not SEO-only WL.
- Hand claim_endpoint, not a second get-started signup.
Pricing shape
Search Atlas publishes SEO-product tiers roughly in the $99–$999/mo band (verify on their site; annual discounts and add-ons apply). YG3 is Free; Live $20/mo; Software $500/mo; Managed $1,500/mo. Ad media stays in the client’s ad account. Compare on job-to-be-done, not feature count alone.
When to run both
Some agencies keep an SEO platform for multi-client WL SEO and use YG3 when a client needs a Free→Live site plus agent-run channels. Solo AI operators usually pick one execution home; start Free on YG3 if the agent must publish and later send.

Common follow-ups.
Is YG3 a Search Atlas alternative?
For AI SEO white-label, Search Atlas is a direct peer. For agent-owned site + marketing channels with Free sandbox and claim handoff, YG3 is the closer fit.
Can my agency use both?
Yes. Use Search Atlas where WL SEO delivery is the product; use YG3 when the client needs a provisioned workspace, hosted site, and channel stack your AI can call.
