- Daily keywords are counted as targets: keyword times search engine. SE Ranking's example: 30 keywords in 2 engines is 60 targets.
- The yearly price is billed up front for the year. Free assisted migration comes with an annual subscription.
- A login allows one active session at a time. For shared access you add paid seats, or use guest links where view-only is enough.

Is SE Ranking worth it for a startup or small business?
Our read: A sensible suite if you want rank tracking, research and audits in one login without paying Semrush prices. Core ($129) is the plan to compare for a startup or small business; Growth is for agencies.
Worth paying for if
- You want daily rank tracking of a few thousand keywords. Core tracks 2,000 a day, against 500 a day on Semrush's SEO plan ($139) and 750 keywords updated weekly on Ahrefs Lite ($129).
- You want AI-prompt tracking included in the base price: Core has 100 prompts a day.
- You want to try it first without a card: 14 days, no card needed.
- You run a local business: both plans include 3 locations with local and map rank tracking.
Skip it, or wait, if
- More than one person needs full access to Core. It has one manager seat, and extra seats are paid.
- You can't commit to a year. The 20% saving needs a yearly payment, and payments are non-refundable.
- You only need occasional lookups. Search Console and free tools cover a new site's first months.
What it costs in practice: Core costs $1,548 over a year on monthly billing, or $1,238.40 billed yearly ($103.20 a month). A second manager seat adds from $16.
Cheaper options and alternatives to SE Ranking
Free ways to get part of the answer
Our free tools, and a guide where there’s no tool, with what each does and doesn’t replace.
Keyword rank checkerFree tool
Your live Google position for up to 5 keywords, and who is #1. SE Ranking tracks thousands daily and keeps the history.
SERP checkerFree tool
Live Google results for any keyword, with the AI Overview, People Also Ask and other features around them.
Keyword difficulty checkerFree tool
Difficulty, searches, CPC and intent for up to 20 keywords by country. A lookup, not a keyword database.
Website SEO checkerFree tool
A 16-check on-page score for one URL. SE Ranking's audits crawl up to 250k pages a month on Core.
AI visibility checkerFree tool
Puts 4 buyer questions to ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini and shows whether they name you. One check, not daily tracking.
Other plans to price it against
Vendor prices read on the same day, from each vendor’s own pages.
$99/mo ($79 billed yearly), but 1 user, 3 sites, 300 keywords and 150 AI prompts checked weekly. Moz Starter is $49/mo for one site.
Ahrefs Starter is $29/mo for light use, and Ahrefs Free covers sites you own. Ahrefs Lite is $129/mo, like Core.
Costs more: $139/mo with 500 keywords tracked daily and no AI prompts. Starter, at $199/mo, adds 50 prompts a day.
Rank trackers on their own, if tracking is all you need.
Where LaunchRanked fits
Autopilot ($49/mo at the founding price for the first 100 customers, then $99/mo) isn't a rank tracker or research suite. It works from your Search Console positions rather than tracking 2,000 keywords a day, and it checks 25 AI prompts, so it doesn't replace SE Ranking's tracking. It covers work SE Ranking doesn't:
- Writes and publishes up to 30 checked articles a month to your CMS, at a pace set by your domain's age.
- Rewrites titles and snippets on pages already ranking on page 1–2 that people don't click, applied after you approve.
- Tracks 25 prompts across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude (not Google AI Overviews).
- Emails a results report every Monday.
If rank tracking isn't your bottleneck and publishing is, that's the cheaper first purchase, with a 7-day free trial. We sell Autopilot, so weigh this section accordingly.

Read from seranking.com/subscription.html on 8 October 2026. The page showed yearly billing by default, with the monthly price beside it. Its plan table shows Core's historical data as '6/mo', which we read as six months. Extra seats, keywords, articles and locations are shown as 'from' prices without a billing period. Yearly totals on this page are 12 times the per-month price, rounded.
