Serpnest review (2026): is it worth $9 a month?
Daily rank tracker priced by keywords, with API on every plan
Serpnest report card
Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 23, 2026
Best for daily rank tracking with an API on every plan
Serpnest is a web rank tracker that checks keywords daily, and every plan has the same features, API and white-label reports included, so you only pick a keyword count, from $9 a month for 100. But its own pages disagree on which search engines it covers, desktop plus mobile counts each keyword twice, and the current billing period is never refunded.
Who Serpnest is for
- Fits if you want an API for your own reports on a $9 plan
- Works for freelancers tracking a few hundred keywords across lots of small sites
Who Serpnest is not for
- Skip it if you need rankings outside Google, as the FAQ names only Google while the features page adds Bing, Yahoo, Baidu and YouTube
- Tight if you track desktop and mobile, since each keyword then counts twice and halves the plan
- Not for you if you want refunds, as the current billing period isn't refunded
- Not for you if you want a desktop or phone app, as it's web only with no named integrations
- Pricey if you go past 5,000 keywords, as the custom builder runs up to $2,050 a month for 50,000
Why Serpnest gets a 2.4
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- BValue for moneyStarter is $9 a month for 100 daily keywords, or $90 a year, inside the cheapest quarter of rank trackers, with the API and white-label reports included. Desktop plus mobile counts as two keywords.
- CFree plan and trialNo free plan, but a 14-day trial with no card needed. Once you pay, the terms say there are no refunds for the current billing period.
- CFeaturesDaily checks with on-demand refreshes, precise locations, competitors, white-label reports, alerts and folders. But the FAQ names only Google and Google My Business while the features page adds Bing, Yahoo, Baidu and YouTube, so you can't be sure what's covered.
- CEase of useNo rating on record. Nothing unusual to learn, but you still add domains, keywords, places and competitors before the graphs fill in.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with no desktop or phone app and no named integrations. The API is included on every plan, from the $9 one up.

Keep Serpnest, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Serpnest you could make: reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It costs $108 a year.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Daily checks of where your pages rank in search results.
- An API that other software can build on.
- Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
What this rests on. Serpnest’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.
What is Serpnest?
Serpnest is a web-based rank tracker that updates keyword positions once a day and lets users run an on-demand check at any time. Every plan has the same features, from competitor tracking and white-label email reports to alerts, shareable report links and an API, so the plans differ only in how many keywords they track. Tracking a keyword on both desktop and mobile uses two of the plan's keywords.
Worth knowing
- Its pages disagree on coverage: the FAQ names Google and Google My Business only, while the features page also lists Bing, Yahoo, Baidu and YouTube.
- Tracking a keyword on desktop and mobile uses two keyword credits, which halves a plan's count.
- The cancellation policy says there are no refunds for the current billing period.
- Plans above 5,000 keywords come from a custom plan builder that stops at 50,000 keywords ($2,050 a month).
Key features
- Daily and on-demand checks
- Positions update every 24 hours, and a one-click check fetches a keyword's current position whenever you need it.
- Location and device tracking
- Track rankings for a precise location on desktop, mobile or both; tracking both counts as two keywords.
- Competitor tracking
- Follow competitors' positions on the same keywords, with graphs comparing them against your own site.
- White-label and email reports
- Reports carry your own branding and can be emailed to anyone on a schedule you set, or shared as a live link.
- Trigger-based alerts
- Set conditions for ranking changes and get an email or dashboard notification when they are met.
- Project folders
- Group many domains into folders, and share projects in bulk through one link.
