- Watch out: the $7 trial is shown on Premium and Ultimate but not on Enterprise, and everything is web only
How we grade them
| 2.2GPASEOmonitorFair | 1.6GPASERPedWeak | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CStarter is $73 a month billed yearly ($88 monthly) for 500 keywords on one website. That's dearer than three in four rank trackers, which start at $49 or less, but short of the dearest tenth at $139. Pro, with the API and unlimited sites, is $335 a month. | D$53 a month on yearly billing for Premium ($79 monthly), against a category middle of $19.99 and a dearer quarter starting at $49. For that you get about 83 keywords checked daily, and the client dashboards need an Agency add-on on top. |
| Free plan and trial | CNo free plan, but a 14-day trial with no credit card. It covers Google tracking and AI Search on one campaign of up to 1,000 keywords. | DNo free plan. The way in is a 30-day trial for $7 that rebills at the plan price afterwards, which is a card up front. There's a 30-day money-back guarantee too, but that isn't a trial. |
| Features | CDaily rank checks, a SERP viewer, forecasts for client proposals, traffic by keyword from Analytics and Search Console, and AI answer tracking in four models. The gap: daily checks cover only your own position on the main device; competitors and the second device update weekly. | CRank tracking by country, city and device plus keyword research, backlink and site analysis and white-label reports. The listing itself flags gaps: monthly keyword caps, and client dashboards locked behind the Agency add-on. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record. You set up a campaign per site, connect Google Analytics and Search Console, and pick keywords and devices before the reports tell you much. | CNo store rating on record. It's a web suite with sites, keywords and URLs to set up before it's any use, and a lot of tools to learn. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb only, with no desktop or phone app. It links to Search Console, Analytics, Google Sheets and Looker Studio, has MCP on both plans, and the API comes with Pro. | CWeb only, and the listing names no integrations or API. Everything happens in the browser. |
| Best for | rank tracking and forecasts for SEO agencies | rank tracking bundled with an SEO suite |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
