Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.4
GPA, above 42 of the 64 other SEO tools we grade
PR-CY is a web-based SEO platform that runs a quick analysis of any domain, tracks rankings in Google and Yandex, audits a site's pages daily and adds an AI assistant to each project. It also has a catalog of 149 AI-based apps for pages, links, keywords and text. Plans are sold as monthly pools of limits shared by rank checks and tool use.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about PR-CY, taken from its own pages and our grades.
A domain check needs no account, but rank checks and tools draw on one shared pool of limits, which takes some working out.
- 1
Best for rank tracking in Google and Yandex
PR-CY checks any domain in seconds, tracks rankings in Google and Yandex, audits pages daily and adds an AI assistant and a catalog of 149 AI tools.
- 2
Paid plans start at $15 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $15 per month for 1,500 limits (15,000 keyword checks), billed monthly.
- 3
There is a free plan
1 project, 10 limits a day (about 100 keyword position checks), express site analysis and an audit of 10 pages.

Web.
- 5
Rank tracking in Google and Yandex
Automatic daily position checks, results for other locations, position history, summaries by group and alerts when the ranking URL changes.
- 6
Site audit
Checks a whole site for duplicate H1s, server response codes, speed and meta tags, sorts errors by priority and exports the report.
- 7
Express domain analysis
Enter any domain, without signing up, for a quick list of passed tests, warnings and errors, each with advice on how to fix it.
- 8
A 2.4 GPA, above 42 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 PR-CY 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 rank tracking in Google and Yandex
PR-CY checks any domain in seconds, tracks rankings in Google and Yandex, audits pages daily and adds an AI assistant and a catalog of 149 AI tools. Basic is $15 a month, and there's a free plan. But it covers Google and Yandex only, rank checks and tools share one pool of limits, and the Pro trial needs a card and turns into a paid plan.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | A | Basic is $15 a month for 2 projects and about 500 keyword checks a day, or 12 months for the price of 10 on yearly billing, about $12.50 a month. That's under 60% of this category's cheaper quarter. The API waits for Pro at $35. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A free plan: 1 project, 10 limits a day, about 100 keyword checks, and a 10-page audit. You'll hit that fast. The Pro trial lasts 7 days but needs a bank card and becomes a paid plan. |
| Features | C | Daily rank tracking with position history and URL change alerts, a site audit, instant domain checks, PDF reports, an AI assistant and a site analysis API. The gap the listing names: rankings cover Google and Yandex only. |
| Ease of use | C | No rating on record. A domain check needs no account, but rank checks and tools draw on one shared pool of limits, which takes some working out. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only, with no integrations on record. The one link out is a site analysis API on Pro and Agency, and there's 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 PR-CY is for
- Fits if your sites need rankings in Yandex as well as Google
- Works for quick checks of a domain without making an account
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you need Bing or any engine besides Google and Yandex, as no others are named
- Watch out: the Pro trial needs a bank card and turns into a paid plan after 7 days, with refunds asked within 48 hours
- Tight if you track a lot, as rank checks and tools share one pool, at 0.1 limit per keyword, engine and region
- Pricey if you need the API or a team, as the API starts on Pro at $35 and team access only comes with Agency at $140
- Tight if you stay free, with 1 project, about 100 keyword checks a day and a 10-page audit
Good to know
Good for
- Sites that need rankings in Yandex as well as Google
- Small budgets: paid plans start at $15 a month
- Quick one-off checks of a domain or page without an account
Worth knowing
- Rank checks and tools share one pool of limits: one keyword checked in one search engine and region uses 0.1 limit.
- The Pro trial needs a bank card and becomes a paid plan after 7 days; the FAQ allows a refund request within 48 hours of that charge.
- API access starts with Pro; team access for up to 10 users comes only with Agency.
- Rank tracking covers Google and Yandex only; the site names no other search engines.

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 PR-CY 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 $180 a year.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Search volumes for millions of keywords, gathered and kept up to date.
- Daily checks of where your pages rank in search results.
- A crawler that checks every page of a site.
- An API that other software can build on.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. PR-CY’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.
