RedirectIQ vs SiteDetour
SiteDetour bundles redirects with Smart QR codes and audience-based personalization, and includes unlimited team members on every plan, including its cheapest. It also holds back dynamic, path-based redirects, the kind most migrations and marketing campaigns actually need, until its second tier. Here is an honest look at where the two differ.
| Feature | RedirectIQ | SiteDetour |
|---|---|---|
| Entry paid plan price | $2/mo (Hobby) | $12/mo (Personal) |
| Entry paid plan, domains | 10 | 5 |
| Wildcard / dynamic redirect rules | Included from $2/mo | Not offered below $45/mo (Professional) |
| Automatic 404 detection + auto-fix suggestions (Autopilot) | ||
| Team members / seats | 1 (single account) | Unlimited (every tier) |
| REST API | ||
| Bulk CSV import | White-glove import (Business+, $175/mo) | |
| QR codes | ||
| Audience-based personalization targeting | ||
| Per-redirect click analytics | ||
| SAML SSO | Business plan ($175/mo)+ | |
| Permanent free plan | Not published (trial only) |
Pricing comparison
Both products price primarily on domain count, but SiteDetour splits static and dynamic redirect capability across two different tiers where RedirectIQ includes both from the first paid plan.
When SiteDetour is the right choice
SiteDetour is the better fit if you want Smart QR codes and audience-based personalization bundled with your redirects, or need multiple team members with access from day one without upgrading.
It's also the stronger choice at larger scale: SSO, white-glove import, and a 100% uptime SLA are available on its Business and Enterprise plans, none of which RedirectIQ offers.
When to use RedirectIQ
RedirectIQ is the better fit when:
- •You need dynamic, path-based redirects and don't want to pay $45/mo just to unlock them: RedirectIQ includes wildcard rules starting at $2/mo.
- •You want broken redirects caught and fixed automatically: Autopilot detects 404s and suggests (or auto-applies) the fix, which SiteDetour doesn't offer.
- •You just need redirects, not a bundled QR-code and audience-personalization product with its own separate capacity to track.
- •You need to bulk import rules via CSV, from a site migration, a GSC export, or an SEO audit.
Migrating from SiteDetour to RedirectIQ
- 1Export your existing domains and redirect rules from the SiteDetour dashboard or API. Leave QR codes and personalization audiences aside, since RedirectIQ doesn't manage those.
- 2Convert to RedirectIQ's CSV format: three columns,
source_path,destination,type. Path-based rules map to RedirectIQ's wildcard/named-param syntax. - 3Connect your domain to RedirectIQ and bulk import the CSV.
- 4Verify each redirect using our free redirect checker.
- 5If your team relied on SiteDetour's multi-seat access, QR codes, or personalization audiences, plan around RedirectIQ's single-account model before cancelling.
