SEOPress review (2026): is the free plan enough?
WordPress SEO plugin with a free edition and site licences from $49
SEOPress report card
Very good · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 23, 2026
Best for WordPress SEO on a flat yearly licence
SEOPress sets titles, meta, sitemaps and social tags in WordPress for free, and PRO adds schema, redirects, a site audit and local and WooCommerce SEO for $49 a year. But rank tracking is a separate $99 plugin and AI credits a separate monthly plan, so the real bill can run well past $49.
Who SEOPress is for
- Fits if you run a WordPress site and want schema and redirects for $49 a year
- Works for agencies wanting one unlimited-site licence at $149 a year
Who SEOPress is not for
- Tight if you stay free, as schema, redirects, local SEO and the site audit are all PRO
- Watch out: rank and backlink tracking need SEOPress Insights, a separate plugin at $99 a year per site
- Pricey if you lean on AI metadata, as credits are a separate plan from $19 a month
- Watch out: prices exclude tax, refunds last 14 days, and a cancelled PRO keeps working without updates
- Skip it if your site isn't on WordPress, as there's no standalone app
Why SEOPress gets a 3.0
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- AValue for moneyPRO is $49 a year for one site before tax, about $4.08 a month, and renews at the same price. That's under 60% of this category's cheaper quarter. Five sites are $59 a year and unlimited sites $149.
- BFree plan and trialSEOPress Free covers titles, meta, canonicals, robots tags, XML and HTML sitemaps, social tags and content checks for any number of keywords. One site could live on it, but schema and redirects are PRO only.
- BFeaturesMeta and sitemaps, content analysis, schema with conditions, local and WooCommerce SEO, redirects with 404 logs, link suggestions, a site audit and AI metadata. It covers the whole job; rank and backlink tracking sit in a separate plugin.
- CEase of useNo rating on record. It runs inside WordPress, but titles and meta are set site-wide or page by page, and AI metadata needs an AI provider hooked up or a separate credit plan.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, inside WordPress. It connects to Search Console, Google Analytics, Tag Manager and Matomo, and works with WooCommerce, Elementor, WPML and Polylang.

Keep SEOPress, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace SEOPress you would be making an index of the links between billions of web pages. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 3.0 is higher than 67 of the 78 other SEO plugins and apps we grade. It costs $49 a year.
What you could make
- Schema markup and internal linking: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- An index of the links between billions of web pages.
- A score built from what the top results for each keyword cover.
- A crawler that checks every page of a site.
- Daily checks of where your pages rank in search results.
- It plugs into other products, Google Search Console, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager among them.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. SEOPress’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.

- Prices exclude tax; refunds are offered for 14 days, and a cancelled PRO keeps working without updates or support.
