Which one is for you

Pick Marketgoo if

  • Fits if you own a small business site and want a list of what to fix next
  • Works for web hosts adding a white-label SEO tool to their plans

Look elsewhere if

  • Not for you if you want to try it first, as there's no free plan or trial, and refunds last 5 days
  • Too light for anyone tracking more than 20 keywords or 4 competitors
  • Tight if you run several sites, since each one is its own subscription
  • Watch out: if you bought through a host, that host bills and supports you, not marketgoo
  • Watch out: the site markets only to resellers, and canceling needs 5 days' notice before renewal

Pick Semrush if

  • Fits if you want research, rank tracking and audits in one account and can pay $117.33 a month or more
  • Works for agencies that need keyword data for many countries and compare client sites with competitors

Look elsewhere if

  • Pricey if you're one person with one site, at $117.33 a month even yearly, and the trial checks your card with a small charge
  • Tight if your team is more than just you, since every extra user is from $45 a month
  • Skip it if AI answer tracking is the point, as the SEO plan leaves it out and Starter is $165.17 a month
  • Watch out: the API and share of voice need the custom-priced Advanced plan, and scheduled PDF reports are $10 to $20 a month extra
  • Watch out: local, content, social and ad tools are separate toolkits with their own prices, and the free plan allows 10 reports a day

How we grade them

2.0GPAMarketgooFair2.2GPASemrushFair
Value for money
BPro is $23.96 a month per website billed yearly ($29.97 monthly), inside this category's cheapest quarter. The limits are small for the money, though: 20 keywords, 4 competitors and 20 AI page optimizations a month, and each site is a separate subscription.
DThe SEO plan, the one Semrush aims at freelancers and small businesses, is $117.33 a month billed yearly ($139 monthly). That's in this category's dearest tenth, for one user. AI search tracking needs Starter at $165.17, and each extra person is from $45 a month.
Free plan and trial
FNothing free on record: no free plan and no trial. Refunds cover 5 days after a first purchase or first renewal, and that's not a trial.
CA free account with no card: 1 project, 10 reports a day and 10 tracked keywords. Fine for a look around, but you'll hit the wall in an afternoon. The 7-day trial of the paid plans checks your card with a small charge that's refunded at once.
Features
CAn audit turned into tasks with instructions, AI title and description suggestions, 20 tracked keywords against 4 competitors, backlink monitoring and PDF reports. The basics for a small site; the gap the listing names is those 20 keywords and 4 competitors.
BKeyword research from a database it puts at 29 billion keywords across 142 countries, competitor and backlink analysis, daily rank tracking and Site Audit. It covers the whole job, though the SEO plan only gets the basic research tools and no AI visibility.
Ease of use
CNo rating on record. It's written for beginners, with each task explained step by step, but you're doing the tasks yourself, and traffic figures need Google Analytics connected.
CNo rating on record. It's a big suite with a lot of reports, and there are projects to set up and plenty to learn before it all makes sense.
Platforms and integrations
BWeb only, connected to Google Analytics, WordPress and Weebly, and sold through WHMCS by web hosts. There's no API on record and no desktop or phone app.
BWeb only, with no desktop or phone app. It connects to Google Analytics, Search Console, Wix, Yoast, AIOSEO, Supermetrics and Monday.com, has MCP from Starter, and the API comes with the custom-priced Advanced plan.

Worth knowing

  • Customers who bought through a host or registrar are billed and supported by that partner, not by marketgoo.
  • Refunds cover 5 days after a first purchase or first renewal, and canceling needs 5 days' notice before renewal.

Semrush

  • Each plan includes one user; extra users start at $45 a month each, priced by plan level.
  • Scheduled PDF reports are an add-on at $10 a month, or $20 with white-labeling; Advanced includes reporting.
  • API access and share of voice come only with the custom-priced Advanced plan.
  • Local, content, social, advertising, AI PR and traffic tools are separate toolkits with their own prices.

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.
