SE Ranking Pricing in 2026: Core, Growth, Add-Ons, and the Real Agency Cost

SE Ranking pricing explained: Core at $129, Growth at $279, the Agency Pack, AI Search and API add-ons, seats, projects, and what an agency really pays each month.

Key takeaways

  • SE Ranking pricing has two public plans: Core at $129 a month for 10 projects and 2,000 keywords, and Growth at $279 for 30 projects and 5,000 keywords. Enterprise is custom.
  • Annual billing saves 20 percent. White label, client seats, and unlimited reports come from the Agency Pack at $69 a month, annual billing only.
  • AI Search tracking is an add-on from $89 a month. API access is $45 a month on annual billing.
  • A ten client agency on Core with the Agency Pack pays about $172 a month on annual billing. Add AI Search and it passes $240.
  • SE Ranking is worth it for agencies that use the full suite. For tracking and reporting alone, a dedicated tracker costs less.

SE Ranking pricing is easy to read on the surface and easy to underestimate. The plan price covers the suite. The things agencies actually sell, branded reports and client logins, sit in an add-on. AI tracking is another add-on. This guide lists every plan and extra as of September 16, 2026, then works out what a real agency pays.

We build Zutrix, which competes with SE Ranking on rank tracking and agency reporting. We keep our pricing to one marked section. For a direct comparison of the two suites, see SE Ranking vs Semrush.

Both public plans include the full toolset: rank tracker, keyword research, competitor research, backlink checker and monitor, site audit, on-page checker, and the content editor with AI credits.

What each plan includes

Core, $129 a month

Ten projects, 2,000 keywords checked daily, one manager seat, and 25,000 API credits a month. Ten projects means ten client sites. That is the practical cap for a small agency, and the reason many move to Growth before they need 5,000 keywords.

Growth, $279 a month

Thirty projects, 5,000 keywords checked daily, three manager seats, and 100,000 API credits. This is the working plan for an agency with 10 to 30 clients. The extra seats matter as much as the extra keywords.

Enterprise, custom

Custom project and keyword limits, flexible seats, full API, and advanced integrations, with pricing through sales. Aimed at large agencies and in-house teams tracking tens of thousands of keywords. Ask for the per-keyword rate in writing before you sign, since that is the number that decides value at this size.

SE Ranking add-ons on September 16, 2026.

The Agency Pack is the one most buyers miss. Without it there is no white label and no client login. With it, you get 30 client seats and unlimited scheduled reports. It requires annual billing, so the real commitment is a year of Core plus a year of the pack. Our white label SEO reports guide explains what the reports look like.

What an agency really pays

Take a ten client agency that tracks 150 keywords per client, needs white label reports, and wants AI tracking for three clients. On annual billing, Core is $103.20, the Agency Pack is $69, and AI Search is $71.20. That is $243.40 a month, or about $2,920 a year, before the API.

Example totals on annual billing.

Compared with Semrush, these totals are still lower for the same keyword counts. Compared with a dedicated rank tracker, they are higher, because you are paying for research tools every client project may not use. Our seo tools for agencies roundup compares the stacks.

SE Ranking free trial

The SE Ranking free trial runs 14 days on Core and Growth with no card required. That is longer than Semrush's 7 days and more than Ahrefs, which has no trial at all. The trial includes the full toolset, so you can run a real client project through it. Add-ons are not part of the trial, which means you cannot test white label reports before you commit to annual billing for the Agency Pack.

Is SE Ranking worth it?

For an agency that uses keyword research, audits, backlinks, and the content editor across many clients, yes. It is the best value full suite for that job. For an agency that reports rankings and audits and does research elsewhere, the suite is more than you need. For a solo consultant with two clients, Core is fine but the Agency Pack is a big jump for white label.

  • You have 5 to 30 client projects.
  • You use at least three of the tools every week.
  • You can commit to annual billing for white label.
  • One or three manager seats is enough for your team.
  • Your keyword data needs are covered by SE Ranking's database in your market.

How to pay less for SE Ranking

  1. 1

    Choose annual billing

    It saves 20 percent and is required for the Agency Pack and API anyway.

  2. 2

    Start on Core

    Ten projects covers most small agencies. Move to Growth when projects, not keywords, run out.

  3. 3

    Skip AI Search until a client asks

    It is $71.20 a month on annual billing. Add it when you can bill it.

  4. 4

    Use the trial on a real client

    Fourteen days is enough to see whether the keyword database fits your market.

  5. 5

    Compare with a tracker for reporting-only clients

    If half your clients only get a ranking report, a cheaper tracker for those saves money.
