Bisibility is an open-source app for Google rank tracking, keyword research, backlinks and AI answer tracking, which you host yourself for free or use as Cloud for $3 a month. Neither way includes search data: you pay DataForSEO or SerpApi, or buy credits at their cost plus 30%, and it puts 100 daily keywords at about $12 a month in DataForSEO usage alone. - **Value for money: C.** Cloud is $3 a month, but no search data is included. Bisibility puts 100 keywords checked daily at about $12 a month in DataForSEO usage, so roughly $15 all in, between this category's cheaper quarter ($10) and middle ($19.99). Self-hosting is free but needs a server. - **Free plan and trial: C.** Self-hosting the full app costs nothing, and Cloud has a 7-day trial with no card. But every check still needs paid search data from DataForSEO or SerpApi, or credits bought in $5 to $100 packs. - **Features: C.** Google rankings by location and device with a saved results page per check, AI answer tracking, keyword research, backlinks, a sampled site audit and Search Console history past 16 months. The gaps: rankings are Google only, and most extras need DataForSEO. - **Ease of use: C.** No rating on record. Cloud saves you hosting it, but you still connect a DataForSEO or SerpApi account or buy credits, and lookups are priced one by one, so there's setup before the first check. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web only, with no desktop or phone app. It links to DataForSEO, SerpApi, Search Console, GA4 and Plausible, and has MCP for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and Codex, a REST API, a CLI and SDKs.

The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/rank-trackers ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** To replace Bisibility you would be making search volumes for millions of keywords, gathered and kept up to date. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 17 of the 39 other rank trackers grade higher. It costs $36 a year. Bisibility is open source, so there is a third way: take its code and run it yourself. - You could not: Search volumes for millions of keywords, gathered and kept up to date. - You could not: An index of the links between billions of web pages. - You could not: Daily checks of where your pages rank in search results. - You could not: The same prompts asked of ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI answers every day, and the answers kept. - You could not: It plugs into other products, DataForSEO, SerpApi and Google Search Console among them, and has an API. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool.
