8 Mangools Alternatives in 2026, After the Price Rise

Mangools Basic now costs $61 a month. In March 2026 it was $49.

That's $732 a year on monthly billing, for 100 keyword lookups a day and 200 tracked keywords.

Still a fair deal for some people. But it's a good moment to check what else $732 buys.

We compared 8 Mangools alternatives using vendor pricing pages checked on 4 November 2026. We looked at year-one cost and daily lookup limits.

Mangools alternatives at a glance

*Year one = 12 months on monthly billing, USD, before tax, from pricing pages on 4 November 2026. Serpstat shows its yearly price; it says yearly billing saves $228 on Individual.

What Mangools Does Well, and Why People Look Elsewhere

Mangools is a bundle of simple SEO apps. KWFinder is the best known. The others are SERPChecker, SERPWatcher, LinkMiner, SiteProfiler and AI Search Watcher.

People like it because it's easy. A Trustpilot reviewer wrote in July 2026:

So why switch? The common reasons:

• The price went up. Basic rose from $49 to $61 a month, and the cheapest plan is gone. CostBench snapshots show 4 plans from $29 in March, and 3 plans from $61 in July 2026.
• Daily caps. Basic allows 100 keyword lookups and 100 SERP lookups per 24 hours.
• Weekly rank updates. Basic and Premium update tracked rankings weekly. Only Agency ($141) updates daily.
• One seat. Basic has no extra seats. Premium allows 3 more, Agency 5 more.
• Depth. Bigger sites often want larger audits and a bigger backlink index.

Even fans see room to grow. A 3-star review from July 2026 is titled:

How We Compared the Alternatives

• Prices come from each vendor's pricing page on 4 November 2026, in US dollars, before tax.
• Year one = 12 months on monthly billing. Where a page only shows yearly billing, we say so.
• We compared listed features and limits. We didn't run a data-accuracy test for this article.
• The Mangools price history comes from CostBench, which keeps dated snapshots of the official pricing page.
• Daily limits are the vendors' own numbers. "Lookups" mean different things in different tools, so compare like with like.

Budget Mangools Alternatives

These cost less than Mangools Basic. Some give you more daily lookups, too.

1. seotools.pro: a free counterpart to every Mangools app, plans from $24

Full disclosure: this is our own platform. We've kept to what our pricing page lists.

Each Mangools app has a seotools.pro counterpart. You can try them free, with 3 checks a day per tool and no signup:

• KWFinder → Keyword Research: volume, difficulty, intent, CPC and a 12-month trend.
• SERPChecker → SERP Analyzer: the live Google results for any keyword.
• SERPWatcher → Rank Tracker: where you rank in Google's top 10 (ongoing tracking is on Pro).
• LinkMiner → Backlink Analyzer: where a site's links come from.
• SiteProfiler → Domain Overview: a quick profile of any domain.
• AI Search Watcher → AI Visibility Checker: whether AI answers name your site.

Paid plans: Lite is $24 a month, Pro $49 and Business $99 ($20, $41 and $83 billed yearly). Each starts with a 7-day free trial.

Lite includes 10 projects, a 20,000-keyword allowance and audits of up to 5,000 pages. Pro adds the Rank Tracker and Backlink Analyzer.

Good to know: the 20,000-keyword allowance counts keyword lines, one keyword per line.

2. Keysearch: twice the daily searches for $24

Keysearch Starter costs $24 a month. Its pricing page lists:

• 200 keyword searches a day (Mangools Basic: 100).
• 80 tracked keywords and 2,000 audited pages a month.
• Competitor, backlink and YouTube research, plus a content assistant.

Pro costs $48 a month: 500 searches a day and 200 tracked keywords. Both start with a 7-day free trial.

Watch-out: Starter tracks only 80 keywords, fewer than Mangools Basic (200).

3. Ubersuggest: the beginner pick

Ubersuggest Individual costs $29 a month, or $16 a month billed yearly ($192). It covers 1 project and 1 user.

• 150 searches a day.
• 125 tracked keywords and 1,000 page scans per project.
• Business ($49) raises that to 2 users and 7 projects.

On 4 November its pricing page also showed a limited-time lifetime deal: $290 one-off for Individual.

Good for: one website and an owner who wants plain-English advice.

4. Ahrefs Starter: deep data, small allowance

Ahrefs Starter costs $29 a month. Ahrefs' Starter plan post lists 200 credits a month, which you spend when you open reports in most core tools.

Ahrefs says Starter renews monthly only and you can't buy extra users or credits on it.

Good for: occasional research with a big index behind it. For daily keyword work, the next step up is Lite at $129 a month.

Mid-Range Alternatives

5. Moz Pro: check the keyword quota

Moz Pro has an entry plan for $49 a month, aimed at people managing one website.

Standard costs $99 a month ($79 billed yearly). It includes 1 user, 3 tracked sites and 300 tracked keywords.

Watch-out: Moz's compare table lists 150 keyword queries a month on Standard. Medium ($179) jumps to 5,000.

If you look up keywords every day, that cap matters more than the price.

6. Serpstat: rank tracking and audits at volume

Serpstat Individual costs $50 a month billed yearly ($600 upfront). Its page says that saves $228 against monthly billing.

That implies about $69 a month ($828 a year) on monthly billing.

• 100 searches a day for sites, keywords and links combined.
• 10,000 keyword position checks and 30,000 pages to audit.
• Team ($100 a month, billed yearly) raises that to 500 searches a day and adds AI visibility checks.

Good for: people who also want site analysis and rank tracking in the same plan.

Full SEO Suites

If Mangools started to feel too light, these do far more. They also cost about twice as much ($129–$139 vs $61 a month).

7. SE Ranking: daily tracking and unlimited research

SE Ranking Core costs $129 a month ($103.20 billed yearly). It includes 10 projects, 1 manager seat and 2,000 keywords tracked daily.

• Listed as unlimited keyword, competitor and backlink research.
• 250,000 audited pages a month and AI visibility tracking for 25 prompts a day.
• 14-day free trial, no credit card.

Good for: anyone who outgrew weekly rank updates.

8. Semrush: the deepest all-rounder

Semrush's SEO plan costs $139 a month, or $117.33 a month billed yearly. It covers 5 websites and 500 keywords tracked daily.

A free account gives 10 reports a day. Extra users start at $45 a month.

Watch-out: it's the priciest entry plan in this list. Pay for it if you'll use the depth.

When Mangools Is Still the Right Pick

• You want AI tracking in the bundle. Every plan includes AI Search Watcher PRO with 500 prompts.
• You value simplicity. Reviews keep praising how easy it is.
• You pay yearly. Basic drops to $37.70 a month ($452.40 a year).
• You want to test. Mangools refunds within 48 hours of payment.

How to Switch Without Losing Data

1. Export first. Save your keyword lists and SERPWatcher history before you cancel.
2. List the apps you actually use. If it's only KWFinder, a $24 keyword tool may be enough.
3. Count your daily lookups. Compare with each plan's cap.
4. Check rank update frequency. Weekly vs daily changes what you can report.
5. Test on keywords you know. Compare volumes and positions with your own Google Search Console data.

The Verdict

Decide which Mangools app you really use.

Mostly KWFinder? Keysearch Starter or Ubersuggest Individual give more daily searches for less.

The whole bundle on a budget? seotools.pro has a free counterpart for every app. Lite is $24 a month; Pro, with Rank Tracker and Backlink Analyzer, is $49.

Outgrew it? SE Ranking adds daily tracking. Semrush and Ahrefs go deepest.

If you like Mangools and pay yearly, staying can still make sense.
