Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.2
GPA, above 9 of the 39 other rank trackers we grade
RankChecker.io checks and tracks where a site ranks on Google. A free checker looks up positions for up to 10 keywords at once in a chosen country or city, on desktop or mobile, with no sign-up. An account adds daily or weekly tracking with full history, competitor positions, alerts and AI Overview citations, and paid plans are monthly allowances of credits spent on Google searches.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about RankChecker.io, taken from its own pages and our grades.
The credit maths is published, but you still work out depth, schedule and keyword count before you know which plan fits.
- 1
Best for daily Google tracking where you see the cost
Credits don't roll over, there's no yearly plan, and PayPal is the only way to pay.
- 2
Paid plans start at $21 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $21 per month for 30,000 credits (about 333 keywords checked daily).
- 3
There is a free plan
5 keywords on 1 site checked daily down to the top 30, with 2 competitors, history charts and email alerts; 50 keywords if you show a RankChecker.io badge on your site.
- 4
It runs on Web
Web.
- 5
Free rank checker
Look up up to 10 keywords at once, down to position 100, in any of about 50 countries or a chosen city, on desktop or mobile, without an account.
- 6
Daily or weekly tracking
Set the schedule and the depth (top 10, 20, 30, 50 or 100) per site or per keyword. Each check stores the full results page.
- 7
Competitors from the same search
Rival domains are read from the searches already run for your site, so comparing 2, 5 or 10 competitors per site costs no extra credits.
- 8
A 2.2 GPA, above 9 of 39
That is against the other rank trackers we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.

Nothing RankChecker.io does is plain enough to make in a weekend. The 3 things listed below take a company.

The report card
Best for daily Google tracking where you see the cost
RankChecker.io is a web Google rank tracker where credits buy Google searches at a published rate, from $21 a month, and a free plan tracks 5 keywords daily, or 50 if you show its badge. It's Google only. Depth costs credits: the top 100 instead of the top 10 cuts your keyword count tenfold. Credits don't roll over, there's no yearly plan, and PayPal is the only way to pay.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Starter is $21 a month for 30,000 credits: about 333 keywords daily in the top 10, or 33 in the top 100. That's about the category's middle. It includes the API and webhooks, but there's no yearly plan to save on. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A free plan for good, with no card: 5 keywords on 1 site, daily to the top 30, with 2 competitors and alerts. It goes to 50 keywords if you put its badge and a link on your site, which not everyone will want. |
| Features | C | Daily or weekly Google tracking at the depth you choose, full results pages saved, competitors at no extra credits, AI Overview citations, alerts by email or webhook and an API. It's Google only, though, and depth eats credits fast. |
| Ease of use | C | No rating on record. The credit maths is published, but you still work out depth, schedule and keyword count before you know which plan fits. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web only, with no desktop or phone app and no named integrations, but paid plans get an API at 120 requests a minute and webhooks for alerts. |
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 RankChecker.io is for
- Fits if you want a few Google keywords tracked daily at no cost
- Works for developers pulling Google rankings into their own reports through the API
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you'd rather not pay through PayPal, as it's the only way to pay
- Tight if you need the top 100, as Starter then covers just 33 keywords a day
- Not for you if you track Bing or anything beyond Google
- Watch out: credits don't roll over, and scheduled checks pause when they run out until the next period
- Watch out: the free plan's 50 keywords need a visible badge and link on your site, checked weekly
Good to know
Good for
- Small sites that need a handful of Google keywords tracked daily at no cost
- Buyers who want to see exactly how their tracking budget is spent
- Developers pulling Google rankings into their own reports
Worth knowing
- Credits do not roll over; when they run out, scheduled checks pause until the next billing period or an upgrade.
- Deeper checks cost more, since each 10 results is billed: Starter covers 333 keywords daily in the top 10 but 33 in the top 100.
- Payment is through PayPal only, by balance, bank account or card, and no yearly plan is listed.
- The free plan's 50 keywords need a visible badge linking to RankChecker.io, which it checks weekly.

Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
Nothing RankChecker.io does is plain enough to make in a weekend. The 3 things listed below take a company.
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 $252 a year.
What you could not
- 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.
- An API that other software can build on.
What this rests on. RankChecker.io’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.
