Source: https://www.clicks.so/pricing ## Key features - **Keyword research:** Each report returns up to 500 to 1,000 related and phrase-match keywords by plan, with the competitors ranking for each and AI keyword suggestions. - **Site stats:** Estimate any site's top keywords and top pages and see its competing domains, with up to 1,000 rows per report on the Agency plan. - **Backlink analysis:** Backlink, top-page and anchor reports for any domain, plus the domains that link to competitors. - **Site audits:** 10 to 40 audits a month depending on plan, crawling up to 1,000, 4,000 or 6,000 pages each. - **Rank tracking:** Rankings refresh every 48 hours, with bulk keyword import, suggested keywords to track and position history. - **AI visibility:** Scores how likely ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and others are to recommend a site, and tracks prompts and citations with a checklist of fixes. ## Good for - Beginners and site owners who find the large SEO suites too costly - Freelancers managing a handful of client sites - Occasional keyword and backlink lookups on a small budget ## Worth knowing - There is no free plan: the free option is the 7-day trial, after which the chosen plan is charged automatically. - Rankings update every 48 hours rather than daily, and tracking is capped by monthly credits: 50 on Solo up to 250 on Agency. - The pricing page shows a 100% money-back guarantee, but the refund policy limits refunds to requests within 48 hours of ordering. - The AI page still shows a beta waitlist next to the AI visibility features, so how much of that tracking is live is not clear. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 2.0 out of 4**, graded Oct 23, 2026. Clicks.so is a low-cost SEO tool with keyword, site traffic and backlink reports, site audits and rank tracking, from $15 a month on yearly billing. But the 7-day trial turns into a paid plan on its own, rankings update every 48 hours, refunds are limited to 48 hours despite a money-back promise, and it's unclear how much of the AI tracking is live yet. - **Value for money: B.** Solo is $15 a month billed yearly for 5 projects and 100 keyword, site stats and backlink reports a month each, inside this category's cheaper quarter. Monthly billing is $25. - **Free plan and trial: D.** No free plan. The 7-day trial has full access, but the plan you picked starts and is charged automatically when it ends, so it's a trial you have to remember to cancel. - **Features: C.** Keyword research, site traffic estimates, backlink reports, site audits and rank tracking, with AI visibility scoring. The gaps the listing names: rankings refresh every 48 hours, not daily, and the AI page still shows a beta waitlist. - **Ease of use: C.** No rating on record. It's aimed at beginners, but reports, audits and rank tracking each run on their own monthly allowance or credits. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web only, with no integrations or API on record, and no desktop or phone app. These are ToolGPA's own grades.

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: 45 of the 64 other SEO tools grade higher. It costs $180 a year. - 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: A crawler that checks every page of a site. - 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.
