Search Rank Tracker vs SpySERP (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Search Rank Tracker if

• Fits if you check rankings now and then and don't want a monthly bill
• Works for tracking YouTube, Amazon or app store rankings as well as Google

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you check thousands of keywords every day, as its own pricing page says a subscription can work out cheaper
• Skip it if you're on Android, as there's only an iPhone app, listed on the Australian App Store
• Tight if you run big map grids, since every pin on every run costs a credit
• Watch out: the 100 free credits are a one-time grant, so after that every check comes from a paid pack
• Watch out: audits cost 1 credit per page, and AI click-through ideas 1 credit each

Pick SpySERP if

• Fits if you're a freelancer tracking a few hundred keywords across several engines
• Works for checking volatile terms as often as every 30 minutes

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if a team needs its own seats or custom reports, as both are listed as still in development
• Watch out: checks over the plan are billed automatically, from $1.69 per 1,000 on Pro 5k
• Not for you if you want to trial the full version without handing over a card
• Too light for ongoing use on the free plan, which stops at one project with 5 keywords and 2 engines
• Not for you if you want a desktop or phone app, as it's web only and exports only to Google Drive

Search Rank Tracker

• Every run spends credits: one per keyword per engine, one per map pin and one per audited page, so daily schedules use credits 30 times a month.
• The 100 free credits are a one-time grant; after that every check is paid for from a credit pack.
• There is no Android app; the site links its iPhone app to the Australian App Store.
• The pricing page itself says a flat subscription can work out cheaper for thousands of keywords checked every day.

SpySERP

• Plans count checks, not keywords: each keyword checked once in one search engine uses one check, so daily tracking uses about 30 a month per keyword.
• Going over a plan's checks is billed automatically, from $1.69 per 1,000 on Pro 5k to $0.79 on Pro 1kk.
• Multi-user seats, custom reports and semantics analysis are listed as still in development.
• The free trial asks for a card, and the free plan stops at 5 keywords in one project.
