Seomonitor Pricing

I've found SEOmonitor’s pricing fair for high-keyword, low-campaign setups, but awkward if you connect many small campaigns to analytics.

The short verdict

  • Map out your total daily tracked keywords before signing up; the base plan only covers 1,000.
  • Decide how many campaigns need GSC or GA4 integration; each adds €9.99 per month.
  • If your campaigns average fewer than 500 keywords, consider a flat-rate tool instead.
  • Use the 14-day trial to test keyword block scaling before committing.
  • Ignore third-party price listings and refer directly to SEOmonitor’s help centre.

What it's good at

SEOmonitor’s pricing is built around the number of daily tracked keywords, not the number of campaigns. That makes it straightforward if you keep your tracked keyword list tight but run multiple draft campaigns. For example, I run six client campaigns, each tracking around 800 keywords daily. That’s 4,800 keywords total. Under SEOmonitor’s billing model, I pay the base plan of €99 per month plus 5 keyword blocks (5 × €29.90 = €149.50), because the first 1,000 keywords are included in the base. I only connect GSC or GA4 on two of those campaigns, so I add 2 × €9.99 = €19.98. Total: €268.48 per month. For an agency that values granular rank tracking per keyword, that’s reasonable. The platform also offers unlimited draft campaigns, which you can monitor without extra cost as long as you don’t connect external data sources. If you’re like me and prefer to keep campaign numbers high but keyword numbers moderate, the structure works well. The pricing page itself is clear about the rules: billing is based on total daily tracked keywords across the account, not per campaign. That honesty helps when planning budgets.

I used to think the per-campaign fee applied to every campaign, but it only applies when you connect Google Search Console or Google Analytics 4. That distinction matters. If you’re happy with basic rank tracking only, you can avoid the per-campaign charge entirely. This makes SEOmonitor good for agencies that prioritise keyword-level analysis over integrated analytics for every client.

What it's awkward for

The pricing breaks down when your keyword distribution is skewed. If you have twenty campaigns, each tracking only 50 keywords (1,000 total), you’d still pay the base €99 plus 0 extra keyword blocks, but if you connect all twenty campaigns to GSC/GA4, that’s 20 × €9.99 = €199.80 on top of the base. That’s €298.80 for only 1,000 tracked keywords — €0.30 per keyword per month. In contrast, a tool like [Semrush](/semrush/) charges a flat fee per user regardless of campaign count. The awkwardness is compounded by the lack of transparent pricing beyond the base plan. SEOmonitor’s own site doesn’t list higher-tier prices; you have to request a custom quote. Third-party sites like G2 and OMR Reviews show conflicting USD figures — some say $105, others $391 — which only adds confusion. If you’re a freelancer with a handful of low-keyword campaigns, you might be better off with a simpler pricing model. I once recommended SEOmonitor to a friend with 15 small campaigns, and his quote came back nearly double what I pay for fewer campaigns. He chose [Ahrefs](/ahrefs/) instead. The per-keyword block structure also penalises you if your keyword set grows unevenly mid-month. The pricing article notes you pay for the total at the end of the billing period, but you can’t add partial blocks. You pay for each full 1,000 keywords even if you only need 100 extra. That lack of granular scaling is a frustration I’ve felt myself.

Alternatives I'd consider

If SEOmonitor’s pricing feels like a bad fit for your campaign structure, I’d look at three alternatives. First, [Se Ranking](/se-ranking/) offers a similar rank-tracking focus but charges per project rather than per keyword. Their base plan starts around $44 per month for 10 projects, with 750 keywords tracked daily included. That’s cheaper per project if you manage many small keyword sets. Second, [Rank Tracker](/rank-tracker/) is a desktop tool with a one-time payment model, which completely avoids monthly keyword blocks. It’s less integrated — no built-in reporting dashboards — but the pricing is predictable. Third, [Spyfu](/spyfu/) offers keyword research and rank tracking with a flat monthly fee, though their keyword limits are lower. For agencies that need a full suite, Semrush and Ahrefs bundle rank tracking with broader SEO features. I’d pick Semrush if you want a complete tool with flat pricing and no per-keyword surprises. I’d pick SEOmonitor only if your keyword volume is high and your campaign count is low. My rule of thumb: if your average keywords per campaign exceeds 500, SEOmonitor’s per-keyword block is efficient. Below that, the per-campaign add-ons erode the value. I got this wrong in the past and ended up overpaying for six months.

Next step

Quick answers

Does SEOmonitor charge per user or per keyword?

Per keyword. Your account can have multiple users, but pricing is based on the total number of daily tracked keywords across all campaigns. Additional users aren't an extra line item.

Can I try SEOmonitor without paying?

Yes, there's a 14-day free trial, as noted by Digital Agency Network. During the trial, you can track keywords and create campaigns without being charged. After the trial, you need to choose a plan.

What exactly incurs the connected campaign fee?

The €9.99 per month fee applies when you link a campaign to Google Search Console or Google Analytics 4. Without that connection, the campaign only adds to your keyword count, not the campaign surcharge.
