What is Haloscan?

Haloscan is an SEO tool operated by ARCHI301, a company based in Nice (Haloscan legal notice). It is used for keyword research and website analysis. Support is available in French and English, five days a week (haloscan.com).

Something to know if you are in Belgium: according to the provider's FAQ, its data currently focuses on the French market, and on France only. The volumes and rankings it shows therefore offer an indication for French-speaking audiences, rather than a measurement of Google in Belgium.

What does Haloscan do?

The provider's website presents these tools:

• Keyword Explorer: search volume, cost per click, competition, difficulty, search intent and results-page features for each keyword.
• Site Explorer: see which keywords a domain ranks for, whether yours or a competitor's.
• Projects and rank tracking: track your pages' rankings over time for the keywords that matter to you.
• Ranking expired domains: identify expired domain names that have retained rankings.

Its homepage also advertises an “API available at no extra cost”, particularly useful for agencies automating reports.

How much does Haloscan cost in 2026?

The Haloscan pricing page lists four plans, with prices excluding VAT:

• Free: €0/month, with 50 searches per month in Keyword Explorer, 25 in Site Explorer, up to 100 results per search and one user.
• Starter: €59/month.
• Agency: €179/month.
• Guru: €449/month.

With annual payment, the provider gives you two months free. API access is listed in the plan comparison: check which plans include it before choosing.

Does Haloscan replace Google Search Console?

No. A tool such as Haloscan estimates rankings and volumes from its own database. Your website's actual Google figures, meaning clicks, impressions, click-through rate and average position, are in the Google Search Console performance report (Search Console help).

The two complement each other: Search Console shows what your website already achieves, while Haloscan helps you find keywords where you are not yet visible and those your competitors rank for.

Who is Haloscan for?

For self-employed professionals or small businesses wanting to work on their own SEO in French: find the questions customers ask, choose subjects for website pages and blog posts, and monitor competitors. The free plan is enough to try a few searches each month; regular monitoring requires a paid plan.

Does your website also have a Dutch version? Haloscan will not help with that version: its data covers France only. And for your actual rankings in Belgium, Search Console remains the reference.

Key points
