Screpy vs SE Ranking (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Screpy if

• Fits if you want audits, rankings and uptime checks for small sites on one plan
• Works for agencies watching many small client sites with shared seats

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if AI answer tracking matters, as it starts on Max at $38 a month
• Too light for big sites on Pro, where crawls stop at 5,000 pages a project
• Watch out: the 7-day trial turns into a paid plan unless you cancel before it ends
• Tight if you track AI answers widely, with 50 prompts a project on Max and only OpenAI, Gemini and Perplexity covered

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

Screpy

• There is no free plan; the 7-day trial turns into a paid subscription unless it is cancelled before it ends.
