Platinum SEO Pack:

- You don’t have to fear changing permalinks. If you are not satisfied with the current permalink, change it through Settings->Permalinks in your admin panel, without worrying about loss of Page rank or google penalty.Platinum SEO plugin will take care of issuing a 301 redirect to the new location.This is a new essential feature, not present in All in one SEO
- Add index, noindex, follow or nofollow, noodp, noydir, noarchive, nosnippet meta tags to any post/page.These options are not available in All in one SEO Pack.Find out why this option to set post/page level Meta Robots Tag useful?
Functions, features and advantages of both the plugins almost the same. People say that Platinum SEO is a combination of the All In One (AIO) SEO and Headspace2. This plugin is mostly the All-in-one SEO pack with ideas from headspace2. Thus Platinum features more than AIO. Among the features that have by Platinum but is not owned by AIO are:
- Add index, noindex, follow or nofollow, noarchive, nosnippet, noodp, noydir meta tags to any post/page.
- Automatic 301 redirects for any permalink changes. You don’t have to fear changing permalinks
