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

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

Pick SE Visible if

• Fits if you need ChatGPT, Gemini and Google's AI answers checked daily in the US, UK, Canada or western Europe
• Works for teams that want to pull prompt and citation data into their own scripts through an API

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if Perplexity or Claude matter, as neither is tracked yet
• Not for you if you sell outside its seven countries or work in a language beyond its five
• Too light for agencies wanting white-label, since the Agency Pack doesn't cover SE Visible yet
• Watch out: its pages list sentiment and local tracking as coming soon while also showing sentiment, so ask what's live
• Tight if you run more than 3 projects, as Core with 5 costs $151 a month billed yearly

SE Ranking
