Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.0
GPA, above 4 of the 64 other SEO tools we grade
Clicks.so is a web-based SEO tool aimed at beginners and small agencies that want the core research tools at a lower price. Plans include keyword research, site traffic estimates, backlink analysis, site audits and rank tracking, each with a monthly report allowance, and the company also describes tracking of brand visibility in AI chat answers.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Clicks.so, taken from its own pages and our grades.
It's aimed at beginners, but reports, audits and rank tracking each run on their own monthly allowance or credits.
- 1
Best for low-cost keyword, backlink and audit reports
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.

Paid plans start at $15 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $15 per month, billed annually ($25 billed monthly).
- 3
You can try it first
7-day free trial with full access; the chosen plan starts automatically when it ends

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.
- 7
Backlink analysis
Backlink, top-page and anchor reports for any domain, plus the domains that link to competitors.
- 8
A 2.0 GPA, above 4 of 64
That is against the other SEO tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
Keep it
To replace Clicks.so 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.

The report card
Best for low-cost keyword, backlink and audit reports
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Clicks.so is for
- Fits if the big SEO suites cost more than you want to pay
- Works for freelancers checking keywords and backlinks for a handful of client sites
Who it is not for
- Watch out: the 7-day trial rolls into the plan you chose automatically, so cancel in time if you don't want it
- Skip it if you need daily rankings, as positions refresh every 48 hours
- Tight if you track a lot, since rank tracking runs on 50 credits a month on Solo and 250 on Agency
- Watch out: the pricing page promises a 100% money-back guarantee, but the refund policy only allows requests within 48 hours
- Watch out: the AI page still shows a beta waitlist, so how much AI tracking is live isn't clear
Good to know
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.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Clicks.so 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: 45 of the 64 other SEO tools grade higher. It costs $180 a year.
What you could not
- Search volumes for millions of keywords, gathered and kept up to date.
- An index of the links between billions of web pages.
- A crawler that checks every page of a site.
- Daily checks of where your pages rank in search results.
- The same prompts asked of ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI answers every day, and the answers kept.
What this rests on. Clicks.so’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
