Best SEO tool?
Posted by Fun_Training6342 on February 13, 2026 at 3:49 amIs SE Ranking the most affordable and quality SEO tool out there? They just recently raised their prices but it's still slightly lower than ahref and semrush.
I'm not looking for no wanker tools like Neil patel but all in one type with Looker Studio integration for reports

GuestFebruary 13, 2026 at 3:51 amIf you want all-in-one, SE Ranking is solid for the price. Not Ahrefs/Semrush depth, but good enough for most sites.
If budget matters, I’d pick SE Ranking and pair it with GSC + GA4. Most people don’t even max those out anyway.
Just trial all three for a week. You’ll know fast which UI you actually like using.

People will disagree, especially the tool salespeople, but I stick with Google and Bing tools and AWStats

GuestFebruary 13, 2026 at 4:17 amWe were using Semrush before but their prices went up crazy. We switched to LowFruits. It’s affordable plus does the work that we want for our sites like kw analysis, competitor analysis, etc.

GuestFebruary 13, 2026 at 4:30 amI use SERanking, it’s pretty good. Just stay away from SearchAtlas, as their metrics are far from accurate, and the price you have to pay now to even see the LLM data is not worth it. We all know the opposite of engagement rate is the bounce rate. They tried to tell me they were not related at all, and a .1 bounce rate is normal. Most sites have that.

GuestFebruary 13, 2026 at 4:30 amI would love to hear what people say about this. I use SemRush, I don’t have any complaints expect it’s FUCKING EXPENSIVE. Would love to know if there are alternatives that do the same thing for less

GuestFebruary 13, 2026 at 5:33 amSE Ranking is solid and more budget-friendly than SEMrush/Ahrefs
It’s a good all-in-one choice, especially with Looker Studio reporting value-wise it’s hard to beat at that price point.

GuestFebruary 13, 2026 at 5:50 amWhat do you actually need? Does it really need to be an all in one tool?
If it’s something to show SERP tracking like you mention in another comment in this thread you could just get a tool for that. Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools offer first party data for free vs other which are paid third party data, doesn’t get more affordable than that.

GuestFebruary 13, 2026 at 7:17 amI just found a new tool on product hunt called chatseo, it’s basically chatgpt but it’s connected to my google search console and semrush. I used to pay ahrefs 100/month and i’m not going back lol
