Easy to self-host and extend, but we have a managed version too:

### 1) Rank tracking
|
||||
|
||||
- Uses the SERP Task API with `depth: 100` + `stop_crawl_on_match` (stops early when your domain is found).
|
||||
- Cost per keyword per device: `$0.0006` (ranks top 10) to `$0.00465` (not ranking).
|
||||
- Typical cost per keyword (both devices): `~$0.002` assuming most keywords rank in the top 20.
|
||||
- Planning examples:
|
||||
- 100 keywords, both devices, weekly: `~$0.80/month`
|
||||
- 500 keywords, both devices, weekly: `~$4.00/month`
|
||||
There are in-app estimates for this since its dependent on the settings you select.
|
||||
|
||||
$2/month example:
|
||||
|
||||
- 50 keywords
|
||||
- 1 device (Mobile or Desktop)
|
||||
- Search 5 pages deep.
|
||||
|
||||
Searching ten pages deep costs 8x more than one page. Tracking both devices costs 2x more.

- Backlinks search costs about `$0.06` for a domain or `$0.04` for a page.
|

- Opening extra tabs like `Referring Domains` or `Top Pages` adds about `+$0.02` each.
|
||||
- Exact cost can vary slightly based on returned rows and DataForSEO pricing.
