## Key features

- **Titles, meta and sitemaps:** Sets titles, meta descriptions, canonicals and robots tags globally or per page, and builds XML, HTML, image and author sitemaps on the free edition.
- **Content analysis:** Checks each post against any number of target keywords in the editor, including in Elementor, Divi, Oxygen and other page builders, on the free edition.

- **AI metadata:** PRO can use OpenAI, DeepSeek, Gemini, Claude or Mistral to write SEO titles, descriptions and image alt text.

## Good for

- WordPress site owners who want a capable free SEO plugin
- Agencies that want one unlimited-site licence at a flat yearly price
- Sites that need white-label SEO settings for clients

## Worth knowing

- It runs only inside WordPress; there is no standalone app.
- Rank and backlink tracking need SEOPress Insights, a separate plugin at $99 a year per site.
- AI credit plans are a separate monthly subscription, from $19 a month for 400,000 credits (about 250 meta titles, by SEOPress's estimate).
- Prices exclude tax; refunds are offered for 14 days, and a cancelled PRO keeps working without updates or support.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 3.0 out of 4**, graded Oct 23, 2026. 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.

- **Value for money: A.** PRO 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.
- **Free plan and trial: B.** SEOPress 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.
- **Features: B.** Meta 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.
- **Ease of use: C.** No 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.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web only, inside WordPress. It connects to Search Console, Google Analytics, Tag Manager and Matomo, and works with WooCommerce, Elementor, WPML and Polylang.

## Keep it, 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.

- You could make: Schema markup and internal linking: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: An index of the links between billions of web pages.
- You could not: A score built from what the top results for each keyword cover.
- You could not: A crawler that checks every page of a site.
- You could not: Daily checks of where your pages rank in search results.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Google Search Console, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager among them.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
