RankChecker.io vs Wincher (2026): which should you pick?

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 Wincher if

• Fits if you want daily rankings without paying for a full suite
• Works for businesses that track how they rank on Google Maps in a few places

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you want the API, Looker Studio or white-label reports, which start on Standard at $89 a month
• Skip it if you need deep keyword research, as tracking is the point here
• Tight if you track lots of places, as 25 local credits are included and more cost €10 per 500
• Watch out: there's no free plan, only a 7-day trial, and refunds cover 7 days on a first purchase
• Tight if you share it, as Basic has one user, and each plan's price rises with its keyword count

RankChecker.io

• Credits do not roll over; when they run out, scheduled checks pause until the next billing period or an upgrade.

• Payment is through PayPal only, by balance, bank account or card, and no yearly plan is listed.
• The free plan's 50 keywords need a visible badge linking to RankChecker.io, which it checks weekly.

Wincher

• There is no free plan, only the 7-day trial and some free stand-alone tools; refunds cover 7 days on the first purchase.

• Local tracking runs on credits: 25 are included, and extra credits cost €10 per 500.
• Each plan's price rises with its keyword count; above 50,000 keywords is a custom quote.

RankChecker.io

Free rank checker

Look up up to 10 keywords at once, down to position 100, in any of about 50 countries or a chosen city, on desktop or mobile, without an account.

Daily or weekly tracking

Set the schedule and the depth (top 10, 20, 30, 50 or 100) per site or per keyword. Each check stores the full results page.
