RankIQ gives bloggers hand-picked lists of low-competition keywords by niche, a title analysis of the top 30 results and a grader for posts. Its maker says it has turned into Aided, and you can only buy the two together, at $49 a month. There's no free plan or trial, and no integrations, team seats or API. - **Value for money: C.** $49 a month for RankIQ plus Aided's writing apps, a little above this category's middle ($45). It's shown as a special against a $398 combined rate, with no end date given. - **Free plan and trial: F.** Nothing free: the site shows no free plan and no free trial. Billing is monthly and you can cancel any time, but you pay before you see it. - **Features: C.** Niche keyword libraries, a content optimizer, title analysis, an old-post refresh workflow and Aided's AI writing and social posts. The listing's gaps keep it here: no team seats, integrations or API, and keywords come from pre-picked niche lists. - **Ease of use: C.** No rating on record. It's built for bloggers, but there's a keyword library, an optimizer and Aided's separate apps to learn. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web only, with no integrations listed and no API. Nothing for a desktop or a phone. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from RankIQ's own pages on 23 October 2026.

The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/seo-content ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** To replace RankIQ 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: 85 of the 87 other SEO content tools grade higher. It costs $588 a year. - You could make: Long-form writing: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: Search volumes for millions of keywords, gathered and kept up to date. - You could not: A score built from what the top results for each keyword cover. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
