The developers seem sharp. They have some interesting looking tools, and the science angle is good.
However, it's $250/month, and doesn't explain what it is & what the f*ck it does with a few sentences.
What does it do that looks like it'll save you time ?

If you still have that Cora account share it with me lo,.
But how do you like the keyword analysis on surferseo?

I don't have the Cora account anymore. I cancelled it for Surfer. The kw analysis is decent. Surfer finds comomn words and phrases. It tells you average KW density and gives you good action reports. It's easy for me to share these reports with my staff than the Cora reports. Surfer is free to try I think.

The thing I noticed though is they do this stuff for Poland only which make the software uselles to me and anyone outside Poland.

Cora samples 100 results , I do not believe Surfer samples that many results. Cora in my opinion is a far better choice measuring over 500 different metrics. Surfer is a nice tool but to compare them or to say that Surfer is better than Cora is a significant understatement in my opinion , however to agree ARC the UI is pretty.

I'm not sure what to think of Cora. I haven't used the software itself, but I've had a couple of reports done for me.
It may very well be that I'm missing something, but in the reports, I can see flaws that prevent me from implementing the software's recommendations.
1) It easily biased by sites like Yelp, Angieslist etc that are completely different from my site in nature, and also by outlier data (e.g. some high-ranking site has a ton of keywords in script tags for whatever reason). So it makes ridiculous recommendations like "Add 696 keywords inside body tag", "Add 76 email addresses" or, my favourite, "Add 94 Moz DA".
2) It seems to lack a concept of over-optimisation. It only talks about "deficit" and only ever recommends "adding" stuff (I haven't yet seen a counterexample). It seems if I add 1000 H1 and H2 tags to my site and stuff them all with my keywords, Cora will be perfectly happy (again, I don't have the software, so I haven't tried it).
If I start going through the recommendations just deciding whether they're correct or not using my own judgement, then that's as good as not having the software and just using common sense / guesswork for SEO.
I'm not bashing the software, I'm just trying to understand how to effectively use its output. I really like the idea behind it. It would be great if somebody with more experience using it could share some ideas on this.

1. The reports you nought were done wrong. They're supposed to block directory sites like these.
2. Cora isn't a magic bullet. This is why I'm not worried about correlation software hitting the market, it still takes finesse and experience to interpret the results and optimize your content.
