SE Ranking costs $129 a month for Core or $279 for Growth, falling to $103.20 and $223.20 a month on annual billing, with Enterprise priced by sales. Both plans now include daily AI prompt tracking, so SE Ranking is the cheapest way to get rankings, audits, backlinks and a basic AI visibility report in one login. If AI search is the main job, though, Mentionova is our pick: it starts at $99 a month billed annually, covers Perplexity, Claude and Reddit, which SE Ranking does not list, and its agents draft the fixes instead of just reporting the gaps.
| Plan | Annual | Monthly |
|---|---|---|
| Core | $103.20/mo | $129/mo |
| Growth | $223.20/mo | $279/mo |
| Enterprise | Custom | Custom |

What does each SE Ranking plan include?
Core ($129/mo, or $103.20 billed annually).

Rank tracking across major search engines, unlimited keyword, competitor and backlink research, website and on-page audits, and Data Studio, Matomo, GA and GSC integrations are all included.

Listing management covers 100+ worldwide directories on both plans, and both include Google Business Profile posts, MCP and the Projects API.
What does SE Ranking charge for extras?
The plan price is the floor, not the bill. SE Ranking’s FAQ says you cannot buy features from one plan on another; you upgrade, add an add-on or buy extra limits. The extras listed on the pricing page:
| Extra | Core | Growth |
|---|---|---|
| Extra manager seat | from $16 | from $16 |
| Extra keywords | from $22.40 | from $32 |
| Extra articles | from $39.20 | from $39.20 |
| Extra locations | from $18.40 | from $18.40 |
Source: seranking.com/subscription.html, fetched October 28, 2026.
Seats are the catch for teams. Core has a single manager seat, and SE Ranking’s FAQ says only one active session is allowed per login, so a second person either needs a seat or a view-only guest link (guest links are a Growth feature).
How much do the SE Ranking add-ons cost?
Agency Pack
The Agency Pack is ”+$69.00/mo” on the pricing page, sold with annual billing only, with options at 30, 50 and 100 projects. It lists 30 client seats, white label for the platform and reporting, unlimited scheduled reporting and AI summaries, Agency Catalog placement and the Lead Generator. The separate Agency Pack page we captured the same day still says 10 client seats, so confirm the seat count with sales before you buy. Core plus the Agency Pack works out to $172.20 a month on annual billing, and Growth plus the Agency Pack to $292.20.
AI Search add-on
The AI Search add-on is $71.20 a month billed annually or $89 monthly, with tiers listed at 200, 450 and 1,000 prompts. The base card lists “5 AI engines to track: AI Overviews, AI Mode, Gemini, ChatGPT, Copilot (coming soon)”, 75 prompts tracked daily, 5 projects, unlimited users and unlimited competitor research. Core plus AI Search is $174.40 a month, or $2,092.80 a year, on annual billing.
API
SE Ranking sells API capacity two ways: an API add-on on top of a plan, sold with annual billing only, and a standalone API plan from $179 a month, also annual only, which it says covers 12M backlinks, 120K domains and 15K AI Search queries. The add-on’s starting price differed between SE Ranking’s own pages on the day we checked, so get a quote if API volume matters.
What is SE Visible and how much does it cost?
SE Visible is SE Ranking’s standalone AI visibility tool, sold separately from the SEO platform at visible.seranking.com. It collects real AI answers through a browser rather than an API, tracks markets in the US, UK, Canada, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Spain, and offers a 10-day free trial.
| SE Visible plan | Annual | Monthly |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | $71/mo | $89/mo |
| Core | $151/mo | $189/mo |
| Agency | $319/mo | $399/mo |
Source: visible.seranking.com, fetched October 28, 2026.
Basic covers 75 prompts tracked daily (about 11,250 answers a month) and 5 projects. Core covers 200 prompts (about 30,000 answers) and 10 projects. Agency covers 1,000 prompts (about 180,000 answers) and 30 projects. Every plan tracks the same four engines: ChatGPT, Gemini, AI Mode and AI Overview. SE Visible’s FAQ says Claude “will be added soon.” Perplexity is not listed. A year of Basic is $852 billed annually, Core $1,812 and Agency $3,828.
How much does a year of SE Ranking cost?
| Setup | Per year |
|---|---|
| Core, annual | $1,238.40 |
| Core, monthly | $1,548 |
| Growth, annual | $2,678.40 |
| Growth, monthly | $3,348 |
| Core + AI Search, annual | $2,092.80 |
Calculated from SE Ranking’s pricing page, October 28, 2026.
Annual plans are billed upfront. SE Ranking’s FAQ says you can ask sales about options such as a quarterly payment schedule with an annual commitment. Payments are non-refundable except where the service was not delivered as promised, so use the trial before you commit to a year.
On AI prompts alone, Core works out to about $1.03 per daily prompt and Growth to about $0.89 on annual billing. That is cheap tracking, but it is tracking only: SE Ranking reports what four Google and OpenAI engines say about you, and the content work to change the answers is still yours.
What does the SE Ranking free trial include?
The free 14-day trial is fully functional, needs no credit card, and includes starter usage: up to 10 projects, 750 tracked keywords a day, 20 AI prompts a day and AI competitive research for up to 3 domains with unlimited reports. You can cancel anytime. SE Ranking also runs several free tools on its website that do not need an account.
How does SE Ranking pricing compare with Mentionova and others?
| Tool | Entry price | Engines at entry |
|---|---|---|
| Mentionova | $99/mo annual | 3 |
| SE Ranking | $103.20/mo annual | 5 LLMs |
| Peec AI | $95/mo | 3 |
| Otterly.AI | $29/mo | 4 |

Mentionova is our pick over SE Ranking when AI visibility is the goal. Starter is $99 a month billed annually ($125 monthly, $1,188 a year) for 25 tracked prompts, 3 answer engines and 100 agentic tasks a month. Scale is $320 a month billed annually ($400 monthly, $3,840 a year) for 100 prompts across six engines: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Google AI and Reddit. SE Ranking gives you far more prompts per dollar and a full SEO suite, but it does not list Perplexity or Claude, and it stops at the report. Mentionova’s agents turn each citation gap into a brief, a draft or a Reddit reply for you to approve.
Peec AI Starter is $95 a month for 50 prompts and 3 models, and Otterly.AI Lite is $29 a month for 15 prompts across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Microsoft Copilot. See Peec AI pricing, Otterly.AI pricing and Semrush pricing for the details, and SE Ranking alternatives for the full field.
Is SE Ranking worth paying for?
Pick SE Ranking Core if you need rank tracking, audits and backlink research on a budget and a light AI visibility report on the side. Pick Growth if you run several clients and need more seats, all-time history and guest links, and add the Agency Pack for white-label reports. Skip SE Ranking if AI search is the main job: you need Perplexity or Claude coverage, or you want the tool to draft the content that earns citations. Mentionova starts at $99 a month billed annually and covers six engines on Scale.
