SE Ranking pricing starts at $103.20/mo billed annually (Core). Every figure on this page was checked against SE Ranking’s own pricing page on 2026-09-28, and the date is on the page so you can judge how stale it is. Below: what each plan costs, what the step up actually buys you, and what the headline price leaves out.
SE Ranking has no free tier, so the entry plan is the cheapest way in. Where a trial is offered it is time-limited rather than a free plan you can stay on.
SE Ranking pricing at a glance
| Plan | Price | Per year | What it includes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Core | $129/mo · $103.20/mo billed annually | $1,238.40 * | Keyword research · rank tracking for 2,000 keywords · site audits · backlink analysis · ⭐ AI search visibility · 10 projects · white-label reporting |
| Growth | $223.20/mo billed annually | $2,678.40 * | Everything in Core plus 30 projects, 5,000 daily keyword checks and historical data |
| Retired tiers | ⚠️ No longer available | — | The Essential, Pro and Business structure — reported at $65, $129 and $279 monthly, or $52, $95 and $207 annually — was retired in late 2025 |
Figures marked * in the per-year column are the monthly rate multiplied by twelve, because the vendor states no annual price for that plan. Unmarked figures are the annual price the vendor publishes, which is usually lower than twelve monthly payments.
What each upgrade actually costs
Tier lists tend to hide the only number that matters when you are choosing: the difference between the plan you are on and the next one up, over a year.
Core → Growth costs $120 more a year. What you get for it: Everything in Core plus 30 projects, 5,000 daily keyword checks and historical data
Monthly or annual
The entry tier is quoted at two rates: $129 and $103.2 a month. The lower figure is the annual rate, so committing for a year saves $309.6 over twelve months — about 20% — and the monthly rate is what you pay for the flexibility to leave.
What the headline price leaves out
The Essential, Pro and Business tiers were retired in late 2025, so a large amount of published comparison data describes plans you can no longer buy. The limit that usually forces an upgrade: ⚠️ Tier structure changed in late 2025 — old comparisons are stale.
Recent pricing changes
SE Ranking retired its Essential, Pro and Business tier structure in late 2025 and now offers two plans. Core costs $103.20 a month on annual billing, or $129 a month billed monthly, and covers keyword research, rank tracking for 2,000 keywords, site audits, backlink analysis and AI search visibility, across 10 projects with white-label reporting. Growth costs $223.20 a month on annual billing and adds 30 projects, 5,000 daily keyword checks and historical data. A 14-day free trial is available on both plans with no credit card required. For reference, sources from early 2026 still describe the retired structure at $65, $129 and $279 a month billed monthly, with annual billing reducing those to $52, $95 and $207 respectively — figures that no longer correspond to purchasable plans.
Which plan is right for you
The paid tiers are worth it for SEO teams wanting rank tracking and AI visibility from one suite; Agencies needing white-label reporting on the base plan. For those uses the plan pays for itself in time saved rather than features unlocked.
It is a poor fit for teams on a $39 budget — moz pro starter is cheaper if restrictive; and for technical specialists — screaming frog is deeper for $279 a year. Paying for a tier whose headline feature you will not use is the most common way software budgets leak.
Is SE Ranking worth the money?
Our reviewers rated SE Ranking 4.0/5. AI search visibility included in the base plan. SE Ranking bundles what several vendors sell as a separate product, at no extra cost on Core. The full assessment — what it does well, where it falls down and who should avoid it — is in our SE Ranking review.

How we check pricing
We read the vendor’s own pricing page rather than repeating a third-party summary, record the date, and re-check on a schedule — which is how we catch a tier being renamed or retired. The figures behind this page are published as a machine-readable catalog so that AI assistants quoting them can quote something current.
