Part 02 · Top three

Our top three

The three we'd look at first, and who each one suits

The three rank trackers we'd look at first. First place suits the most people; second and third are the best picks for the people it leaves out. Each has an Insider's Guide of its own.

  1. 1st

    2.8GPA

    Monitorank

    Free plan · from €40/mo

    For: Most people tracking their site's rankings

    Monitorank checks Google, Google Maps, YouTube, Bing, Yandex and Baidu daily on desktop and mobile, with competitors, SERP feature filters, Google AI Overview mentions, white-label exports, an API and a Looker Studio connector in its one offer. It works out at about €4.75 a month for 100 keywords and €40 for 1,000, before VAT, with unlimited users, and 10 keywords stay free for life. Know the limits: results stop at the top 50 unless you pay 30% more, AI tracking covers Google AI Overviews only, prices are in euros before VAT, and there is no iPhone or Mac app.

  2. 2nd

    2.4GPA

    Serpfox

    Free plan · from $10/mo

    For: Anyone who wants AI assistant answers tracked beside Google

    Serpfox checks Google daily by city or country on desktop and mobile, and every plan also asks ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini set prompts and records whether your brand is named or your site cited. The free plan keeps 10 keywords checked daily and 3 prompts checked weekly, and Starter is $10 a month for 100 keywords billed annually ($12 monthly). It is second because it tracks Google only, desktop and mobile count as two keywords, Starter checks prompts only weekly, and 1,000 keywords cost $50 a month billed annually against Monitorank's €40.

  3. 3rd

    2.4GPA

Starter is $89 a month for 1,000 terms billed annually ($99 monthly), after a 7-day trial with no card. It is third on cost: $89 against Monitorank's €40 for a similar count, each place and device is another term and each AI prompt two, the API waits on Agency at $179, payment is upfront with no prorated refunds, and you can only sign up on the website.

Part 05 · Keep or make

Keep or make?

Which are worth paying for, and which you could make yourself

0

Simple enough to make yourself, of 40

Some software does something you couldn’t reasonably build yourself. Some is simple enough that an AI app builder could make the core of it in an afternoon. Here’s where rank trackers land, by the same rules for every tool.

  • 37

    Keep it

    It does something you could not reasonably make for yourself, or it costs nothing.

  • 3

    Your call

    You could make the core of it, and you would give something up.

  • 0

    You could make this

    What it does is the kind of thing an AI app builder makes well, and it charges every month.

Worth keeping

  • Algoroo

    Algoroo is free, so making your own would save you nothing.

  • Monitorank

    The plain part of Monitorank you could make: reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 5 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.

  • Keyword.com

    To replace Keyword.com you would be making search volumes for millions of keywords, gathered and kept up to date. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

  • Search Rank Tracker

    The plain part of Search Rank Tracker you could make: reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 6 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
