Semdash Reviews

1. When you make changes to the Sort By feature, that setup instantly changes the Sort By order & will charge you 25 credits. All other filter sections allow you to complete your setup and then hit the Apply Filter button to process your request when you are ready.

2. The Exclude Keyword filter should exclude the keywords you have added to that section; however, it does not. 25 credits are charged for almost every output, and this filter has continuously failed. Causing a waste of credits on keywords that should have been excluded from the final output.

3. I have emailed support 3 times. I have not received any response, credit, or assistance.

I've sent support at least 10-15 support emails about activating my appsumo deal account but they all got ignored. It's a shame I have to resort to leaving a bad review just to get someone's attention.

Update: my account is now active. It took several emails but support ultimately resolved it, so I’m happy with the product so far.

Semdash is genuinely a great tool, intuitive and well-structured. The interface is clean, keyword research and backlink tools are solid, and the overall feature set is definitively competitive for the price. Customer support is also very responsive; after sending a question, I received a reply within the hour.
However, there's one significant issue that matters a lot for SEO: Keyword Difficulty scores are systematically underestimated. After comparing the same keywords across Semrush, Ubersuggest, and Keyword Surfer, Semdash consistently scores KD roughly half of what other tools report. On high-competition keywords (KD 77-80 on Semrush), Semdash shows 32-45. That's not a minor discrepancy, as it could lead you to target keywords that are actually out of reach for a new or mid-authority site.
I picked up Tier 5, so I'm committed to giving it a proper evaluation. I'll retest before the 60-day refund window closes and decide from there. Again, there's a lot of potential here, but the KD calibration just needs to be addressed to make this a truly trustworthy tool.

This is a very promising tool that's a great alternative to Semrush (which after the Adobe acquisition has gotten really expensive) I've signed up for the tester's community, so let's see if we can convince the creators to include projects and rank tracking. 5 tacos for now as they've launched with an amazing start. Let's see where this goes. Also please add in the future an MCP so I can use Semdash in my Claude

good interface
