SE Ranking vs seobase (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 seobase if

• Fits if you want rankings, keyword ideas and a site audit in one account for one site
• Works for a small agency tracking up to 100 sites and 3,000 keywords on Professional

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you have more than one site, as Basic covers one, in one location, with one competitor
• Not for you if you want refunds, as cancelling ends the plan at once with nothing back
• Skip it if you need to pipe rankings into other tools, as there's no API or integration on record
• Too light for more than 3,000 tracked keywords, where the largest listed plan stops
• Watch out: first-year prices are about half, so Basic goes from $9.99 to $19.99 a month after year one
