Which one is for you
Pick Serpstat if
- Fits if you want research, tracking and audits in one account from $50 a month on yearly billing
- Works for small agencies that want 3 users and an API on Team at $100 a month
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a free plan or won't hand over a card: the trial takes $1 to check and renews into a paid plan after 7 days
- Not for you if you need the API, AI tools, keyword lists or JavaScript rendering on a single-user plan, as they start on Team
- Tight if you research all day on Individual, with 100 searches a day shared across site, keyword and backlink lookups
- Pricey if you want white-label reports, which are only on Agency at $410 a month
- Not for you if you want a desktop or phone app; it runs on the web with a browser extension
Pick Topvisor if
- Fits if you need Yandex or Seznam rankings alongside Google
- Works for agencies with many projects that want to pay per check rather than per keyword
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if your usage swings, since plan credit you don't spend is lost each month
- Pricey if you track lots of AI prompts, at 6¢ a check at full price
- Not for you if you want one flat monthly price you can predict
- Watch out: with no plan, every check is full price, 0.15¢ per keyword for each results page
- Not for you if you want a desktop or phone app, as it's web only
How we grade them
| 2.0GPASerpstatFair | 2.4GPATopvisorFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CIndividual is $50 a month on yearly billing ($69 monthly), at the top of this category's middle range, for 1 user, 100 searches a day and 10,000 position checks a month. Team, with 3 users and the API, is $100. | CPlan S is $29 a month, all of it credited to your balance for checks, with 10% off each one. That's in the middle of what rank trackers charge. You can also pay full price per check with no plan, but unspent plan credit is lost each month. |
| Free plan and trial | DNo free plan. The 7-day trial of Individual or Team checks your card with a $1 charge that comes back, then renews into a paid plan unless you cancel. | CNo free plan. Instead you get a credit on your balance at sign-up, no card needed, that works on any tool and never expires. Once it's spent, you pay per check. |
| Features | CKeyword and site research with organic and paid rankings, backlinks, daily rank tracking and audits. The gaps are on Individual: no API, AI tools, keyword lists, batch analysis or JavaScript rendering, and one pool of daily searches for everything. | BRankings in Google, Yandex, Bing, Seznam, YouTube, the App Store and Google Play, AI Tracker across seven chatbots, saved results pages with AI Overview texts, keyword research, clustering and a site audit. It covers the whole job. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record. Daily search credits shared across site, keyword and backlink lookups take some planning, and the reports have a learning curve. | CNo rating on record. Pricing runs per check, per results page and per AI prompt, so it takes some working out what a project will cost, and there are a lot of tools beyond the tracker. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb plus a browser extension, with an API and an MCP connection for ChatGPT and Claude from the Team plan. No desktop or phone app. | BWeb only, with no desktop or phone app. It links to Search Console, Google Analytics, Google Sheets, Yandex Metrica, Yandex Webmaster and Key Collector, and the API is free on every plan. |

Worth knowing

- The trial renews into a paid plan automatically after 7 days unless cancelled.
- White-label reports are only on the Agency plan.
- Daily search credits are shared across site, keyword and backlink lookups.
Topvisor
- Without a plan, checks are paid from a topped-up balance at full price: 0.15¢ per keyword for each results page checked (10 results in Google, 100 in Yandex).
- A plan's monthly fee becomes credit that expires at the end of the month, so it pays off only if you spend at least that much on checks.

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.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
