Which one is for you
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
Pick Search Rank Tracker if
- Fits if you check rankings now and then and don't want a monthly bill
- Works for tracking YouTube, Amazon or app store rankings as well as Google
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you check thousands of keywords every day, as its own pricing page says a subscription can work out cheaper
- Skip it if you're on Android, as there's only an iPhone app, listed on the Australian App Store
- Tight if you run big map grids, since every pin on every run costs a credit
- Watch out: the 100 free credits are a one-time grant, so after that every check comes from a paid pack
- Watch out: audits cost 1 credit per page, and AI click-through ideas 1 credit each

Worth knowing

- API access, on-demand updates and unlimited users start at Agency; Pro allows 10 users.
- Payment is upfront for a month or a year, with no prorated refunds on cancelling or downgrading.
- Accounts can only be created on the website; the mobile apps do not allow sign-up.
Search Rank Tracker

More comparisons
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.
