Which one is for you
Pick RankChecker.io if
- Fits if you want a few Google keywords tracked daily at no cost
- Works for developers pulling Google rankings into their own reports through the API
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you'd rather not pay through PayPal, as it's the only way to pay
- Tight if you need the top 100, as Starter then covers just 33 keywords a day
- Not for you if you track Bing or anything beyond Google
- Watch out: credits don't roll over, and scheduled checks pause when they run out until the next period
- Watch out: the free plan's 50 keywords need a visible badge and link on your site, checked weekly
Pick SERPRobot if
- Fits if you're a freelancer tracking a few hundred keywords and want to pay per 75 daily checks
- Works for you if you need Bing, Yahoo or YouTube positions next to Google
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if AI Overviews or chatbot answers matter to you, as its pages don't mention tracking them
- Tight if you might cancel early, as there are no refunds and a cancelled bot just runs to the end of its period
- Pricey if you check thousands of keywords daily, since every 75 more is another $4.99 bot
- Watch out: paying yearly costs the same as twelve months, with no discount
- Not for you if you want a desktop or phone app, as it's web only with Looker Studio the one integration

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.
