An honest comparison
Price isn’t everything. Here’s where each side is stronger, so you can pick the right tool.
What you get with Serpint
- Your team is included: Pro has 3 users, Agency 10, and more cost $20 each
- The content tools are in every plan: briefs, AI grades with a fact-check, refreshes and articles written from your expert
- Grades judge what a page adds and whether it meets the searcher’s need, not how many topics it repeats
- Repeat a lookup soon after and it isn’t counted again; failed lookups give the credit back
- Search Console and GA4 with 16 months of history, and Google updates measured on each site, on every plan
Where Ahrefs and Semrush give you more
- Their own web crawlers and much larger link and keyword indexes
- More tracked keywords on their bigger plans, and more lookups each month
- Brand-level tracking across AI assistants, as a paid add-on
- Years of extra tools: ads and social research, local listings, integrations
If you need the biggest backlink index or thousands of daily keywords, they’re worth it. If your team needs solid data, tracking and better content without paying for every seat, Serpint costs a fraction.
