Which one is for you
Pick Cocolyze if
- Fits if you have one site and want rankings, audits and backlinks in one tool
- Works for agencies with dozens of client projects that need white-label exports
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you're on Single Website, with 1 project, 50 tracked keywords and 1 user
- Watch out: the 14-day trial has limited features and is allowed once per user and company
- Watch out: the pricing page promises 30 days' money back, but the terms describe a 48-hour refund window after a renewal
- Watch out: monthly prices are shown cut from higher crossed-out figures with no end date, such as $69.99 from $99.99
- Pricey if you want more than 2 years of ranking history, as 5 years starts on Business at $199.99 a month
Pick SE Ranking if
- Fits if you track lots of keywords daily across several client sites
- Works for small marketing teams who want research, audits and tracking under one login
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you're one person with one site, as Core is $103.20 a month even on yearly billing and there's no lower plan
- Tight if you need old data, since Core keeps 6 months of history and has 1 manager seat; extra seats start at $16 a month
- Pricey if you want white-label reports, as the Agency Pack is $69 a month extra and sold on yearly billing only
- Watch out: deeper AI search tracking is an add-on at $71.20 a month on yearly billing ($89 monthly)
- Watch out: payments are non-refundable unless the service wasn't delivered as promised, and there's no desktop or phone app

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
