PR-CY vs SE Ranking (2026): which should you pick?

Pick PR-CY if

• Fits if your sites need rankings in Yandex as well as Google
• Works for quick checks of a domain without making an account

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you need Bing or any engine besides Google and Yandex, as no others are named
• Watch out: the Pro trial needs a bank card and turns into a paid plan after 7 days, with refunds asked within 48 hours
• Tight if you track a lot, as rank checks and tools share one pool, at 0.1 limit per keyword, engine and region
• Pricey if you need the API or a team, as the API starts on Pro at $35 and team access only comes with Agency at $140
• Tight if you stay free, with 1 project, about 100 keyword checks a day and a 10-page audit

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

PR-CY

• Rank checks and tools share one pool of limits: one keyword checked in one search engine and region uses 0.1 limit.
• The Pro trial needs a bank card and becomes a paid plan after 7 days; the FAQ allows a refund request within 48 hours of that charge.
• API access starts with Pro; team access for up to 10 users comes only with Agency.
• Rank tracking covers Google and Yandex only; the site names no other search engines.

SE Ranking

• Core keeps only 6 months of historical data and includes 1 manager seat; extra seats start at $16 a month.
• White-label reports need the Agency Pack, $69 a month and sold on annual billing only.
• Deeper AI search tracking is an add-on at $71.20 a month billed annually ($89 billed monthly).
• Payments are non-refundable except where the service was not delivered as promised.
