## Key features

- **Google and Bing rank tracking:** Scheduled checks to depth 100 on desktop and mobile in 190+ countries, down to a city or postcode, with the full SERP kept for each position.
- **Google Maps grid scans:** Scans a grid from 3×3 to 21×21 around a business and reports ARP, ATRP and share of local voice; a scan costs 3 to 57 credits.
- **YouTube rank tracking:** Tracks a single video or a whole channel against a keyword list, by country and language, at 1 credit per check.
- **AI answer tracking:** Runs your prompts in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude on a schedule and scores mentions, citations and prominence; each answer costs 1 credit, 3 on Claude.
- **Site and page audits:** Crawls up to 1,000 pages at 1 credit per 20 pages, grades a single page on 63 checks, and maps internal links and orphan pages.
- **Keyword research and competitor pages:** A keyword tool with volume, difficulty, CPC and intent, and a side-by-side check of your page against the top 10 for a tracked keyword.

## Good for

- People who want to track a handful of keywords for free
- Small sites tracking Google, Bing and YouTube on one balance
- Local businesses that want Maps grid scans alongside rank tracking

## Worth knowing

- Tracking one keyword daily uses about 30 credits a month, so the free plan covers roughly 3 keywords and Starter about 66.
- Plans are billed monthly only. Extra credits are one-off top-ups from $19 for 1,000 to $199 for 15,000, and they last a year.
- Refunds cover 7 days from a first purchase; monthly renewals are not refundable once the cycle starts, nor are top-up credits.
- Several seats on one balance and white-labelled reports are only offered as a custom arrangement.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.4 out of 4**, graded Oct 23, 2026. FreeSERP runs Google and Bing tracking, Maps grid scans, YouTube rankings, AI answer checks and audits from one monthly pot of credits, with a free plan of 100 a month. One keyword checked daily uses about 30 credits a month, so free covers about 3 keywords and the $19 Starter about 66. Plans are monthly only, and seats and white-label reports are a custom deal.

- **Value for money: C.** Starter is $19 a month for 2,000 credits, about 66 keywords checked daily, just under this category's middle ($19.99). There's no yearly billing, and extra credits are one-off packs from $19 for 1,000 to $199 for 15,000.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** A free plan with no card: 100 credits refilled every month, every tool unlocked. That's about 3 keywords checked daily, with 10 keywords per project and 100 rows per keyword search, so you'll hit the cap.
- **Features: B.** Google and Bing to depth 100 in 190+ countries down to a postcode, Maps grids up to 21×21, YouTube, AI answers in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude, audits and keyword research. It covers the whole job; several seats and white-label reports are custom only.
- **Ease of use: C.** No rating on record. Nothing to install, but every tool spends the same credits at different rates, from 1 to 57 a time, so there are sums to do before you know what a month covers.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web only, with no desktop or phone app. It links to Search Console and Google Analytics 4, and no API or other integrations are on record.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace FreeSERP 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. It costs $228 a year.

- You could make: Internal linking: an app builder makes this well.
- You could not: Search volumes for millions of keywords, gathered and kept up to date.
- 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: A crawler that checks every page of a site.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
