Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.6
GPA, above 1 of the 87 other SEO content tools we grade
RankIQ is a web-based SEO toolset made for bloggers. It offers hand-picked libraries of low-competition keywords for common blog niches, a title analysis of the top 30 results and a content optimizer that grades a post against page one. Its maker says RankIQ has evolved into Aided, and new sign-ups get RankIQ together with Aided's AI writing apps for one monthly price.
To get you started, here are 8 things to know about RankIQ, taken from its own pages and our grades.
It's built for bloggers, but there's a keyword library, an optimizer and Aided's separate apps to learn.
- 1
Best for bloggers picking low-competition keywords
There's no free plan or trial, and no integrations, team seats or API.
- 2
Paid plans start at $49 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $49 per month, billed monthly.
- 3
It runs on Web

- 4
Niche keyword libraries

A 1.6 GPA, above 1 of 87
That is against the other SEO content tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 8
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.

The report card
Best for bloggers picking low-competition keywords
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
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.

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 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.
What you could make
- Long-form writing: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Search volumes for millions of keywords, gathered and kept up to date.
- A score built from what the top results for each keyword cover.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. RankIQ’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.
