Rankora vs SE Ranking

Rankora

Rankora packs keyword research, rank tracking, backlink analysis, technical audits, and AI-visibility tracking into one dashboard for $29 a month at the entry paid tier, a wide feature set for that price. The company gives no headquarters or legal name beyond 'remote, worldwide,' worth noting if vendor accountability matters to you.

Pros

• +Combines eight separate SEO functions in a single subscription
• +Free Client tier lets you run a real audit before paying anything
• +Site crawler scales to 100,000 pages even on paid tiers
• +Includes AI-visibility tracking alongside traditional rank tracking

Cons

• −No company name or headquarters disclosed anywhere on the site
• −Steep jump between the $29/month entry tier and the $149/month next tier

SE Ranking

SE Ranking is the mid-market pick for agencies that need rank tracking, audits and client reports without paying Semrush or Ahrefs prices, and in 2026 it is one of the few suites where AI-answer visibility is tracked in the same project as organic rankings. Solo site owners will find the Core plan generous but still a three-figure monthly bill, and the keyword and backlink databases are smaller than the two market leaders'.

Pros

• +Daily rank tracking with Google top-100 and share-of-voice reporting is included on the entry plan, not an upsell
• +AI-visibility tracking across AI Overviews, AI Mode, ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity is built into the same projects as keyword tracking
• +Every plan includes API credits and an MCP server, so reporting can be automated without a separate data subscription
• +The 14-day trial runs the full product with no card, and annual billing takes 20 percent off
• +Agency Pack adds white-label platform and reports, client seats and a lead generator for a flat add-on rather than a plan jump

Cons

• −The pricing page quoted euros only from our location, so the USD cost could not be read without starting a trial
• −The Core plan has a single manager seat; extra seats and extra keywords are each billed on top
• −Most add-ons (Agency Pack, API) are annual-only, so the real commitment is a year's prepayment
• −The Core plan keeps only six months of history; lifetime history needs Growth
