Which one is for you

Pick Rank Math if

  • Fits if your site runs on WordPress and you want SEO settings in the editor
  • Works for someone with several sites of their own, since PRO covers unlimited owned sites

Look elsewhere if

  • Skip it if your site isn't on self-hosted WordPress or WordPress.com's Business plan, as it runs nowhere else
  • Not for you if you need keyword, backlink or competitor research, which it doesn't do
  • Tight if you build sites for clients, as PRO excludes them and Business is €27.99 a month at renewal
  • Watch out: prices are in euros before VAT, billed yearly only, with a lower first year, and the 30-day refund skips renewals
  • Pricey if you want AI writing, a separate Rank Math AI subscription from €6.99 a month billed yearly

Pick Schema & Structured Data for WP & AMP if

  • Fits if you publish AMP pages and need schema on them too
  • Works for sites needing less common schema types, from real estate to recipes

Look elsewhere if

  • Too light for your whole SEO setup, as titles, sitemaps and redirects need another plugin
  • Tight if you stay free, as reviews from 75+ platforms, WooCommerce, paywall and email schema need a licence
  • Watch out: yearly licences renew automatically, and the $999 LifeTime licence stops updates after 10 years
  • Skip it if your site isn't on WordPress, as there's no standalone app

BPersonal is $99 a year for one site, $8.25 a month, right on this category's cheaper quarter. Ten sites are $149 a year, and the $999 LifeTime licence covers unlimited sites for 10 years.

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.
