Best SEO plugin for Craft CMS - SEOmatic vs SEO plugin SEOmatic vs SEO plugin (https://github.com/ethercreative/seo) - which one is better? Ignoring the fact that one is paid and one is free.

I'm creating a blog site and I need to also implement SEO related functionalities.
I have used SEOmatic for years on Craft 2, but since it became a paid plugin on Craft 3 I trialled other SEO plugins.

I realised the extra work needed to make other plugins have a result like SEOmatic's wasn't worth the time over the extra cost to install SEOmatic and be on my way.

I'd recommend SEOmatic, but if you have the time to make a free SEO plugin do what you need it to do, then go for it.
