SE Ranking review
SERP Checker tracks Google rankings and AI-search visibility (AEO) in one workspace. SE Ranking is a mature SEO platform with excellent white-label reporting, a very large MCP tool surface and large rank-tracking capacity — but its AI-visibility tracking is sold as a separate product (SE Visible) or a paid add-on, not bundled into the base plans. SERP Checker includes AEO in the same workspace from $19/mo.
At a glance
| SE Ranking | SERP Checker | |
|---|---|---|
| Entry price | ~$52–129/mo | From $19/mo — 7-day trial + free one-off audit at /audit |
| Classic Google rank tracking | Yes | Yes — every plan |
| AI-visibility (AEO) in the same workspace | Paid add-on / separate product (SE Visible) | Yes — same workspace, every paid plan from $19/mo |
| AI engines tracked | ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Mode + AI Overviews | ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, Google AI Overviews — all 6 in the AEO module, no per-engine add-on |
| Multi-client agency workspace | Yes | Yes — 1 client on the $19 Monitor or $39 AI Visibility tier, 3 on Starter, 15 on Pro, 50 on Business |
| MCP server (AI-agent native) | Yes (official, ~160 tools, all paid plans) | Yes — queried with a REST API key, so Business tier |
Where it fits
Good fit when…
- You track thousands of keywords — SE Ranking's daily keyword capacity (2,000–5,000+) is far larger than ours.
- You want the deepest white-label: full UI rebrand, own SMTP, scheduled multi-account reports.
- You want the largest MCP tool surface in the category — SE Ranking exposes 160+ tools.
- AI-visibility is a nice-to-have you're fine paying for separately.
Look elsewhere when…
- You want AEO included in the workspace, not as a separate SE Visible subscription.
- You want a bundled REST API rather than a paid API add-on.
- You serve Ukrainian- or Polish-speaking teams — SE Ranking has a Russian UI but neither of those.
Pricing
SE Ranking's base plans don't fully include AI-visibility — it's SE Visible (~$189/mo) or an add-on, and the API is a separate add-on too. SERP Checker bundles SERP + AEO from $39/mo. Compare current tiers on /pricing.

FAQ
Does SE Ranking include AI-visibility tracking?
Only partially. Beyond a small daily prompt allowance, SE Ranking's AI-visibility is sold as SE Visible (a separate product) or a paid add-on. SERP Checker includes AEO in the base workspace.
What does SERP Checker do that SE Ranking doesn't?
It includes AI-visibility in the base plan instead of charging for SE Visible, bundles the REST API instead of charging an add-on, and offers Ukrainian and Polish interfaces.
Is SE Ranking cheaper?
SE Ranking's entry tier can be lower, but adding AI-visibility and API access raises the real cost. Check /pricing for SERP Checker's bundled tiers.
