Which one is for you
Pick MST SERP Counter if
- Fits if you now and then check where a page sits for a keyword in live Google results
- Works for reading positions down a long results page without counting by hand
Look elsewhere if
- Too light for rank tracking, as it keeps no history and positions are read live each time
- Skip it if you need Bing or another engine, as only Google is named
- Watch out: it's Chrome only, and the last update was version 1.0.8 in February 2024
- Watch out: the developer hasn't identified itself as a trader, so EU consumer rights don't apply
Pick Whatsmyserp if
- Fits if you refresh rankings by hand a lot and don't want to pay per refresh
- Works for local businesses that need map pack and city-level Google results
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you want to try it first, as there's no free plan or trial, just a 30-day money-back guarantee
- Skip it if you track Bing or Yahoo, since it covers only Google and those are still on the roadmap
- Too light for agencies past 1,000 keywords, where you have to ask for a custom tier
- Watch out: the homepage describes an API, but the pricing page lists it as coming soon on every plan
- Tight if you need keyword research too, as plans include just 100 to 300 lookups a month
How we grade them
| 2.8GPAMST SERP CounterGood | 1.6GPAWhatsmyserpWeak | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | AFree from the Chrome Web Store, which lists no in-app purchases, and there's no paid version anywhere. | CStarter is $19.99 a month for 200 daily keywords, right at the category's middle, with unlimited domains and refreshes, white-label reports and some backlink rows. 500 keywords is $29.99. Plans are billed monthly only. |
| Free plan and trial | AFree outright: position numbers on every Google results page, with no account and nothing to upgrade to. | FNothing free on the tracker itself: no free plan and no trial, just a 30-day money-back guarantee, which isn't the same. There's a free SERP checker and a Chrome extension, but neither keeps a history of your rankings. |
| Features | DOne narrow function: a number beside each Google result for the search in front of you. No rank history, no saved keywords, no other search engine and no page checks. | CDaily tracking with unlimited manual refreshes, city-level and map pack results, white-label reports, alerts, backlink rows and keyword lookups. The gaps are on the listing: Google only, with Bing and Yahoo on the roadmap, and plans stop at 1,000 keywords. |
| Ease of use | BNo rating on record, but nothing to set up: install it and the numbers appear on your next Google search. | CNo rating on record. There's little to configure, but you still add domains, keywords and locations before it tells you anything. |
| Platforms and integrations | CChrome only, so computers only, working on Google Search alone with no integrations. | CWeb plus a Chrome extension, linked only to Google Analytics. The homepage talks about an API, but the pricing page lists it as coming soon on every plan, so there's little to connect it to. |

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.
