The verdict
SE Ranking is what you get when someone builds a Semrush competitor and prices it for freelancers instead of enterprises. The Pro plan at $95/mo is the sweet spot — 3 user seats, 30 projects, content marketing, and historical data. That’s roughly what Semrush charges for a single-user Pro plan with half the features. The catch? The backlink data isn’t as deep, and the price keeps creeping up. But for small agencies and freelancers who need more than Mangools but can’t justify Semrush, this is the best option in the middle. For the full all-in-one experience: Semrush review.
