A Note on Honesty
SE Ranking does offer features SERPFall doesn't: backlink checking, on-page SEO analysis, and comprehensive keyword research. If you need those in one tool, SE Ranking is a good choice. But if rank tracking is your priority, you'll get better results and pay less with SERPFall.
Pricing Comparison
Pay only for what you need
| Plan | Keywords | SERPFall | SE Ranking | You Save |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | 500 | $29/mo | $55/mo | 47% |
| Pro | 2,000 | $79/mo | $109/mo | 28% |
| Business | 5,000 | $149/mo | $239/mo | 38% |
The "All-in-One" Tax
With SE Ranking, you pay for backlink checking, keyword research, and on-page SEO whether you use them or not. If you already have:
- Ahrefs or Moz for backlinks
- SEMrush for keyword research
- Screaming Frog for technical SEO
...then you're paying twice for features you don't need.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about SERPFall vs SE Ranking
Is SERPFall better than SE Ranking?
It depends on your needs. SERPFall is better for focused rank tracking with real-time checks, unlimited competitors, and instant alerts at lower cost. SE Ranking is better if you need an all-in-one SEO suite with backlink checking, on-page analysis, and keyword research in one tool.
Why choose a focused rank tracker over an all-in-one tool?
Focused tools do one thing exceptionally well. SERPFall's entire development effort goes into rank tracking, resulting in better accuracy, faster updates, and more advanced alerting. All-in-one tools spread resources across many features, often resulting in "good enough" rather than "best in class" for each function.
Can I use SERPFall alongside SE Ranking?
Yes! Many agencies use SERPFall for rank tracking and SE Ranking (or other tools) for backlinks and on-page SEO. This "best of breed" approach often costs less than paying for features you don't need in an all-in-one solution.
How much can I save switching to SERPFall?
If you primarily use SE Ranking for rank tracking, you can save 28-47% monthly by switching to SERPFall. The Essential plan saves you $26/month ($312/year), while Business users save $90/month ($1,080/year).
Does SERPFall have backlink checking or on-page SEO tools?
No, SERPFall focuses exclusively on rank tracking. We believe in doing one thing exceptionally well. For backlinks, we recommend Ahrefs or Moz. For on-page SEO, Screaming Frog or Sitebulb are excellent choices.
