## The short answer

- SE Ranking is worth considering for a team whose decision starts with rank monitoring, site audits and client reporting. Count each target and role before assuming a plan fits.
- [Core](https://seranking.com/subscription.html) lists 10 projects, one manager seat, 2,000 daily tracked keywords and 250,000 audit pages per month; Growth raises those limits.

## Read the current offer, not a legacy table

[SE Ranking’s current plan page](https://seranking.com/subscription.html) lists Core with 10 projects, one manager seat, 2,000 daily tracked keywords and 250,000 audit pages monthly. Growth lists 30 projects, three manager seats, 5,000 daily keywords and two million audit pages monthly. The pricing page presents monthly and annual options, while its [billing FAQ](https://help.seranking.com/hc/en-us/articles/16332687136924-Payment-and-billing-details-FAQ) says current plans are billed monthly. Confirm the applicable term, currency, region, tax and full checkout before budgeting.

The billing FAQ identifies Essential, Pro and Business as legacy plans unavailable to new subscribers. Do not assume a historical cadence discount or older plan limit applies to a new purchase. Research history also varies: [SE Ranking](https://help.seranking.com/hc/en-us/articles/16332597568540-Historical-Data) documents six months on Core and full history on Growth, distinct from project-lifetime observations.

## Count keyword and search target pairs

[SE Ranking’s tracking guide](https://help.seranking.com/hc/en-us/articles/20877217235740-Keyword-tracking-use-cases) says each keyword uses a unit for each search engine and region in which it is tracked. Its [settings FAQ](https://help.seranking.com/hc/en-us/articles/16332657221276-Account-and-project-settings-FAQ) also counts another project separately. Thus 200 phrases assigned to two search-engine/region targets use 400 units; repeating them in another project adds units. Verify device configuration and the full target setup before extrapolating.

A plan’s keyword capacity is different from the monthly crawl-page allowance and from backlink or research limits. List each client domain, target search engine and location, number of pages and crawl frequency, then reserve headroom for new work. Compare coverage on a known sample rather than assuming identical data from the same feature names.

## Price managers, client access and reports

Core includes one manager and Growth three. [SE Ranking’s FAQ](https://seranking.com/faq.html) lists extra manager seats from $16 per month; confirm the applicable billing term and price. The [Agency Pack FAQ](https://seranking.com/faq.html) describes white-label platform and reporting, client seats and scheduled reporting as an add-on. A branded file and a client-facing white-label workspace are different requirements.

The [billing FAQ](https://help.seranking.com/hc/en-us/articles/16332687136924-Payment-and-billing-details-FAQ) says the Agency Pack is billed annually with eligible plans; the plan page also presents annual options while the FAQ describes monthly base billing. Obtain a written quote that resolves the term and lists users, report schedules and client access. Test permissions with a non-sensitive sample before inviting clients.

## Separate AI and API allowances

The [plan page](https://seranking.com/subscription.html) lists 25 daily AI prompts across five engines, one SE Visible project and one location on Core and Growth. The [SE Visible FAQ](https://help.seranking.com/hc/en-us/articles/22266372506524-SE-Visible-FAQ) says tracked prompts are pooled across projects and each location counts separately. Each prompt is checked across tracked engines on each check cycle. Confirm which engines and history your account actually receives.

[SE Ranking](https://help.seranking.com/hc/en-us/articles/22120452776476-AI-Search-Add-on) says its former AI Search Add-on is available only to accounts that purchased it before October 29, 2026, directing newer buyers to SE Visible. Do not use a legacy add-on price as a new-customer quote. Its [API documentation](https://help.seranking.com/hc/en-us/articles/28449005578012-SE-Ranking-API-Comparison-Project-API-vs-Data-API) distinguishes Project API actions that consume plan limits from separately metered Data API credits. Verify activation, endpoint and capacity before planning automation.

## Run a representative client fixture

Use one authorized site and a small known list spanning two locations; inspect how the units are charged, the audit output, export and client access. Record the first observation date and ask about export and retention: transferring keywords does not transfer old ranking observations automatically.

Compare [Ahrefs](https://quillwell.com/guides/software/ahrefs/) and [Semrush](https://quillwell.com/guides/software/semrush/) for their own research and monitoring limits; the [AI visibility guide](https://quillwell.com/guides/ai-visibility-software/) covers a separate prompt-sampling decision.

## Common questions

### How are tracked keywords counted?

[SE Ranking](https://help.seranking.com/hc/en-us/articles/20877217235740-Keyword-tracking-use-cases) counts a keyword for each search-engine and region target, and [its FAQ](https://help.seranking.com/hc/en-us/articles/16332657221276-Account-and-project-settings-FAQ) counts another project separately.

### Is the old AI Search Add-on available to a new customer?

[SE Ranking](https://help.seranking.com/hc/en-us/articles/22120452776476-AI-Search-Add-on) limits that add-on to accounts that bought it before October 29, 2026; confirm current SE Visible terms.

### Does a keyword export move historical ranks?

A list of keywords is not a history of observations. Ask the vendor which historical data can be exported and retained.
