This is an interesting thread.

I'm having a tough time deciding between vBSEO & Zoints.

Zoints negatives:

I heard it was buggy
I don't understand the motive. Is this a tool to boost the Zoint Network? If so, what are the disavantages to my website?
Why lesser GPL, not just the GPL?

VBSEO negatives:

I don't like their license agreement. Even if it's for silly reasons... why's it a white text on black background? What does "(FTD)" mean? What if I don't want to consent to the laws of Puerto Rico? Why hasn't it been updated in so long? What if I wanted to run a pornography forum?
$149 is a lot of money. What happens if a free version does turn out to be better, or if Jelsoft makes SEO part of vBulletin?

Heh... this is not as simple as Wordpress, where SEO is already part of the system. That's the most unfortunate drawback of switching from Wordpress to vBulletin for my content management.
