SE Ranking review

SE Ranking takes third place by covering most of what the top two offer with a simpler plan structure. Its keyword research sits alongside competitive research on every plan, and Keyword Grouper clusters a list so editors can see which terms belong in one article. The Core plan includes 10 projects, one manager seat and daily tracking for 2,000 keywords, with a keyword database expansion quota and 6 historical data lookups a month, while Growth raises limits to 30 projects, 3 manager seats and all-time history. A Content Marketing add-on with Content Editor and AI Writer lets the same team move from research to drafts. The 14-day trial needs no credit card. From our location the pricing page showed euro prices only, so we have not listed a USD price, and teams with several researchers should check the cost of extra manager seats before buying.

Who it is for

Small content teams and agencies that want broad keyword research at a lower list price than the largest suites.
