Mangools Alternatives

SE Ranking is the tool we would point most Mangools users to first, because it fixes the two limits people complain about without jumping to enterprise prices. Rank tracking runs daily, keyword, competitor and backlink research is unlimited on Core, and the same plan crawls 250,000 pages a month in its website audit, a job Mangools leaves to other tools.

Core costs $129 a month on monthly billing, or $103.20 a month when you pay for the year. That plan gives you 10 projects, one manager seat and 2,000 keywords tracked every day. Put that in Mangools terms: Mangools Agency, at $141 a month, tracks 1,500 keywords, and daily updates start on that plan. So SE Ranking Core tracks more keywords, every day, for $12 less a month. Pay yearly and SE Ranking migrates your data for free; on a monthly plan you use its self-serve import. The 14-day trial is fully functional and asks for no credit card, with starter usage of up to 10 projects and 750 tracked keywords a day.

The limit is the bill once you add agency extras. White-label reporting sits in the Agency Pack, at $69 more a month and on annual billing only, and payments are non-refundable except when the service was not delivered as promised. If SE Ranking is already your current tool, our SE Ranking alternatives page covers the other direction.

Semrush is where many Mangools users land when the questions get bigger than one keyword at a time. Where KWFinder answers "how hard is this keyword?", Semrush also tells you which keywords a competitor ranks for, how its traffic moves, and how your brand shows up in AI search. Its Free plan gives 10 reports a day across the main tools, which is enough to check whether the data suits your niche before you pay.

The SEO plan costs $139.95 a month on monthly billing, or $117.33 a month billed annually, and covers 5 websites and 500 keywords tracked daily, with Position Tracking and Site Audit included. The SEO + AI Search Starter plan, at $199 a month, adds 50 tracked AI prompts and MCP access. Extra users start at $45 a month each, so a team of three on the SEO plan pays at least $229.95 a month, where Mangools Premium includes 3 extra seats for $81.

The limit is price and density. You pay for a suite with dozens of tools, and freelancers who only need keyword difficulty and a weekly rank report will use a fraction of it. Read our Semrush review for the full scorecard, and our Semrush vs Ubersuggest comparison if budget is the deciding factor. If you already pay for Semrush and want out, our Semrush alternatives list the other suites.

Ahrefs is the answer when LinkMiner is the part of Mangools you outgrew. Its Site Explorer, Keywords Explorer, Rank Tracker and Site Audit sit in one plan, and history goes back 6 months on Lite, 2 years on Standard and 5 years on Advanced. For a site you own, Ahrefs Free gives you Ahrefs data on your own pages at no cost once you verify the site.

Lite costs $129 a month on monthly billing, or $108 a month when you pay $1,290 for the year. It includes 750 tracked keywords, 5 non-verified projects and API and MCP access. The detail to read twice is usage: Lite gives 1,000 credits per user, and one user is included, with 2 more at $40 a month each. Standard, at $249 a month, removes the credit cap with unlimited credits per user. Starter, at $29 a month, is a lighter plan for seeing what people search and checking competitors. Ahrefs never runs discounts and does not issue refunds in general, so use Ahrefs Free on your own site before you pay.

Rank Tracker updates positions weekly on every plan, Lite to Enterprise, so Ahrefs does not fix the first reason people leave Mangools. The other limit is the pricing curve for heavy research on Lite. If you run dozens of lookups a day, the way Mangools Premium lets you run 500, budget for Standard. Our Ahrefs review details each tool, our guide to switch from Ahrefs covers the way out, and our Ahrefs alternatives list helps if that price is too steep. Torn between the two big suites?

Ubersuggest is the closest match to what drew people to Mangools in the first place: type a keyword or a domain and read everything on one screen. It covers keyword ideas, domain overview, site audit, backlinks and rank tracking, plus AI search visibility for ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overview. For a single site, its $192 yearly plan is the smallest paid yearly bill in this list.

Individual costs $29 a month on monthly billing for 1 project and 250 monthly credits. Paid yearly, it is $192, which works out to $16 a month, and the lifetime Individual plan is a one-time $290 with 200 monthly credits. Business ($49 a month) covers 2 to 7 websites, and Enterprise ($99) covers 8 to 15. Compare that with Mangools Basic: $61 monthly, or $452.40 a year. The 7-day free trial applies once, to monthly subscriptions, and lifetime purchases are final and non-refundable.

Daily research is not the limit: Individual counts 150 reports a day on top of its 250 monthly credits, more than Mangools Basic's 100 keyword lookups every 24 hours. Rank tracking is: 125 keywords per project, updated weekly, against 200 on Mangools Basic. Our Ubersuggest review covers the full scorecard, and Ubersuggest alternatives lists where to go next.

Moz Pro suits people who already speak in Domain Authority, the metric Moz created and many clients still ask about. Its Keyword Explorer draws on an index of 1.25 billion keywords, Link Explorer on over 40 trillion links, and the paid plans now add AI features: AI Overviews by keyword, an AI visibility dashboard and tracked prompts on GPT, Gemini and Google AI Mode.

Standard costs $99 a month on monthly billing, or $79 a month when paid yearly ($950 billed for the first year), with 1 user, 3 tracked sites, 300 tracked keywords and 150 tracked prompts. An entry-level plan costs $49 a month for individuals managing a single website. Medium, at $179 a month, adds a second user, 10 tracked sites and 1,500 tracked keywords.

The limit is research volume, and this is where Mangools users get caught. Standard allows 150 keyword queries per month. Mangools Basic allows 100 keyword lookups every 24 hours, which adds up to about 3,000 in a 30-day month. If keyword research is your daily habit, add 10,000 keyword queries for $10 a month, sold on any plan: Standard plus that add-on costs $109 a month, against $179 for Medium and its 5,000 queries. Our Moz Pro alternatives page lists the exits.

SpyFu answers a question Mangools barely touches: what are your competitors paying for in Google Ads, and which organic keywords bring them traffic? Type a domain and you get its paid and organic keywords, with over 10 years of historical data. Pro + AI lists pre-built Google Ads campaigns, a GSC integration and API access.

Basic costs $39 a month on monthly billing, or $29 a month billed annually ($348 a year), and includes 10,000-row search results, 10,000-row exports, 1 site tracking project, 5,000 weekly tracked keyword rankings and a site audit of 50,000 crawled pages a month. Pro + AI costs $59 for the first month, then $119 a month, with unlimited results and exports, 10 tracking projects and 15,000 weekly tracked rankings. Paying annually saves 25%, and every plan comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Cancel within the first 30 days if it does not fit.

The limit is that its keyword difficulty and SERP analysis are less central than in KWFinder and SERPChecker, and rankings update weekly, like Mangools Basic. Watch the Pro + AI price: the $59 is a first-month offer, and the plan renews at $119. If you are already on SpyFu and want out, our SpyFu alternatives page covers the options.

Serpstat is an all-in-one SEO platform that counts research the way Mangools does: in searches per day. That makes it the easiest tool here to size against your current plan. It covers website and keyword analysis, backlinks, rank tracking and site audit, and Team plans add AI Visibility, which checks how ChatGPT, Grok, Gemini and other models mention your brand.

Individual costs $69 a month on monthly billing, or $50 a month on annual billing, paid as $600 upfront, with 100 searches for sites, keywords and links per day and 50,000 export rows a month. Team costs $129 a month on monthly billing, or $100 a month on annual billing, with 500 searches per day, and includes 1,500 AI Visibility checks a month. Agency costs $410 a month with 5,000 searches per day. Starting a free trial charges $1 to verify the card, returned within minutes.

The catch is the default view: the pricing page opens on annual prices paid upfront. On monthly billing, Individual costs $69, $8 more than Mangools Basic's $61; paid yearly, $600 against $452.40. Individual has no AI Visibility checks, and API credits start on Team. Already on Serpstat and leaving? See our Serpstat alternatives.
