What SE Ranking does well, and when Queris is enough

SE Ranking is an SEO suite built around a daily rank tracker, with website audits, backlink research, keyword research with a Keyword Manager and AI visibility tracking on top. For agencies juggling several client projects, it is a complete package. The entry plan, Core, costs €109 a month billed monthly or €87.20 a month billed annually according to the pricing page (read on 2 November 2026, prices in euros, no VAT information given). There is no permanent free plan for the suite, only a 14-day trial without a credit card and a free keyword tool limited to three reports a day.

If you never look at ranking positions, a suite still charges you for the tracker at its core. Queris flips that around: the keyword data is the product. Paste your own list, up to 1,000 keywords per query, and get estimated monthly search volume based on Google data, CPC, advertiser competition, the last 12 months of history and keyword difficulty on demand. Eight markets, CSV export, a connector for ChatGPT and Claude. The free plan with 10 queries per month runs without a credit card, paid plans cost €15, €29 or €49 a month including VAT and can be cancelled monthly.

When Queris is enough as an SE Ranking alternative

01

Your keyword lists already exist

From Search Console, your shop system or an old export. All you are missing is the demand behind them: search volume, CPC, competition and a 12-month trend for up to 1,000 keywords per query.

02

Your budget is well under €100 a month

SE Ranking Core costs €109 a month billed monthly according to its pricing page (as of 2 November 2026). With Queris, the 10 free queries a month are often enough, and paid plans start at €15 including VAT with monthly cancellation. No projects or manager seats you never use.

03

You research in a chat or across markets

Through the connector you ask ChatGPT or Claude for search volume and get numbers from Queris instead of invented ones. Check the same list for Germany, Austria, Switzerland and five more markets, with filters and CSV export.

When SE Ranking stays the better choice

01

You need to watch positions every day

The SE Ranking rank tracker checks positions daily on Google, Bing, Yahoo and YouTube, for desktop and mobile, down to city or postcode level according to the product page. Queris has no rank tracking.

02

Website audits, backlinks and AI visibility

Core crawls 250,000 pages a month according to the pricing page, and the suite adds backlink research and AI visibility tracking with 25 prompts a day. Queris offers none of that.

03

Several projects, managers and countries

Core includes 10 projects, one manager seat and 2,000 keywords tracked daily, and the keyword database covers 188 countries according to the product page. Queris covers eight markets and has no project management.

[ THE MATH ]

The yearly math

SE Ranking Core costs €1,308 a year billed monthly or €1,046.40 billed annually (€109 or €87.20 a month, pricing page read on 2 November 2026, prices in euros, no VAT information given). Queris Pro with 100 queries per month, up to 100,000 keywords, costs €348 a year including VAT. If keyword data is what you mainly need, that leaves roughly €700 to €960 a year for other things.

[ FAQ ]

FAQ

Is Queris a free SE Ranking alternative?

For keyword data, yes. The free plan includes 10 queries per month with up to 1,000 keywords each, no credit card and no expiry date. Queris does not replace rank tracking, website audits or backlinks. SE Ranking itself offers a 14-day trial without a credit card and a free keyword tool with three reports a day, but no permanent free plan for the suite, according to its pricing page as of 2 November 2026.

How much does SE Ranking cost?

According to the pricing page, Core costs €109 a month billed monthly or €87.20 a month billed annually, Growth €235 or €188, Enterprise on request (source: seranking.com/pricing.html, read on 2 November 2026, prices in euros, no VAT information given). Queris costs €15 (25 queries), €29 (100 queries) or €49 (250 queries) a month including VAT, and the first 10 queries each month are free.

Can I track rankings with Queris like with SE Ranking?

No. Queris has no rank tracking and no site audit. The domain analysis add-on at €29 a month shows rankings, competitors and a 12-month history for a domain as a snapshot, but it does not replace daily monitoring. For your own positions, the free Google Search Console is often enough; for client reports with daily history, a suite remains the right choice.

Do both deliver keyword data inside ChatGPT and Claude?

Yes, in different ways. SE Ranking provides an MCP server that is included in Core and Growth and runs on the plan's API credits (25,000 a month on Core, 100,000 on Growth) according to its pricing page. Queris has a connector for ChatGPT and Claude, and those requests count against your query quota; in ChatGPT you need a paid ChatGPT plan and developer mode.

Why do SE Ranking and Queris show different search volumes?

Because both estimate, with different data sources and models. SE Ranking says it combines Google data with anonymised clickstream data, Queris shows estimates based on Google data with the last 12 months of history. Nobody knows the true figure, Google does not publish it. Compare within one tool and pay attention to ranking order and trend.
