Monthly billing. Semrush and Mangools show prices in the visitor's local currency; these are the EUR figures they showed us. Ahrefs daily updates are a paid add-on with no published price. Ahrefs and KeyRank count a tracked keyword once per location; Semrush and AccuRanker also multiply by device, and AccuRanker by search engine.

Which page to read

  • You pay for an SEO suite and open one tab. Read the Ahrefs comparison. The question there is whether weekly updates and a $129 bill are worth it for the one feature you use.
  • You track a few hundred keywords and were quoted agency pricing. Read the AccuRanker comparison. Nothing there is sold under 2,000 keywords, so the page is about what the $224 floor buys and whether you need it.
  • You pay for Semrush and open Position Tracking. Read the Semrush comparison. It checks daily like KeyRank does, so the question is the 500-keyword minimum and the suite price.
  • You have Mangools and the weekly updates bother you. Read the SERPWatcher comparison. Daily updates there cost the Agency tier; on KeyRank they start at $9.
  • You run an agency. Every page will tell you to stay put. AccuRanker for scale and reporting, Ahrefs and Semrush for the rest of the suite. KeyRank tops out at 1,000 keywords and has no API.

How these comparisons are made

  • Prices come from the other tool's own pages, checked on the date shown on each page and linked as sources. If a number isn't published, the page says so instead of guessing.
  • Rank tracking only. KeyRank has no backlink index, site audit, or content tools, so the tables don't pretend to compare those. They list them as things the other tool has.
  • Every page has a "stay where you are" section. Some readers should. Saying so is cheaper than a refund.
  • No affiliate links. Pointers to other tools are there because they answer the reader's question.
