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.

2.4GPASerpfox
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.

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.
