Which one is for you
Pick FreeSERP if
- Fits if you track a few dozen keywords and want Google, Bing and Maps checks on one balance
- Works for small local businesses that want Maps grid scans alongside rank tracking
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you're staying free, as 100 credits a month is about 3 keywords checked daily
- Pricey if you track hundreds of keywords daily: 500 takes Agency at $99 a month, billed monthly only
- Watch out: refunds cover 7 days from a first purchase, and monthly renewals and top-up credits aren't refundable
- Not for you if you need several seats or white-label client reports, which are only a custom arrangement
- Watch out: extra credits are one-off packs from $19 for 1,000, and every tool draws on the same balance
Pick Pro Rank Tracker if
- Fits if you send clients ranking reports under your own brand
- Works for local work that means checking Google Maps and the 3-pack every day
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you track many places and devices, since each combination is another term, and AI prompts count twice
- Pricey if you need the API, on-demand updates or unlimited users, as they start at $179 a month
- Skip it if you might cancel early, as payment is upfront with no prorated refunds
- Watch out: Looker Studio and the branded MyRanks client app start at Pro, $134 a month yearly
- Watch out: you can only sign up on the website, as the mobile apps don't allow it

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.
