Free Rank Tracker
Start tracking keyword rankings with 100 free credits. No credit card, no trial countdown, and no monthly fee — ever.
Most "free" rank trackers are timed trials for a $99-plus monthly subscription. Search Rank Tracker works differently: sign up free, spend your free credits on real checks, and after that pay only for the keywords you actually track. Your credits never expire and nothing ever converts into a subscription.
What "free" actually means here
Let's be precise, because this is where most tools get slippery. Search Rank Tracker is free to start and pay-as-you-go after — not unlimited free forever. You get 100 free credits when you sign up, each keyword check costs one credit, and when they run out you can buy a one-time pack from $5. That's the whole model. No trial clock, no plan tiers, no monthly bill, and no moment where your data gets locked behind a paywall.
100 free credits
Every new account starts with 100 credits — enough for 100 real keyword checks on live search results.
No card at signup
Create an account with just an email. We only ask for payment details if you choose to top up later.
Credits never expire
Free or purchased, your credits sit in your account until you use them. No use-it-or-lose-it deadlines.
What you can track with your free credits
Your free credits work everywhere in the app. One credit buys one keyword check on one engine, with your choice of location and device, and every result is recorded so you build ranking history from day one.
Google organic
Your exact position in Google results for any country or city, on desktop or mobile.
Bing
Bing ranks pages differently from Google — track it on its own and see the gap.
YouTube
Where your videos rank in YouTube search for the terms you care about.
Amazon
Track product keyword positions in Amazon search results.
App stores
Keyword rankings in Google Play and the Apple App Store for your apps.
Google Shopping
See where your products appear in Google Shopping results.
Local map rankings
Grid-based local tracking — one credit per pin, so a 9-pin map costs 9 credits per run.
History and movement
Every check is saved, so you can watch positions move and prove progress over time.

How our free tier compares to subscription rank trackers
The big SEO suites offer a free trial, then bill $99 to $129 or more every month whether you check one keyword or one thousand. Here is the honest side-by-side.
| What matters | Typical subscription tool | Search Rank Tracker free tier |
|---|---|---|
| Cost to start | Free trial, card details usually required up front | Free account with 100 credits — no card needed |
| After the trial | $99–$129+ every month, or your data is locked behind the paywall | Nothing changes — your credits and history stay; top up from $5 only if you want more |
| Keyword limits | Capped by plan tier; tracking more keywords means a pricier plan | No plan quota — one credit per check, track as many keywords as you fund |
| Engines covered | Usually Google, sometimes Bing | Google, Bing, YouTube, Amazon, Google Shopping, Google Play, Apple App Store, and local maps |
| Contract | Monthly or annual subscription that renews until you cancel | None — one-time credit packs, and credits never expire |
"Typical subscription tool" reflects the common pattern among major rank tracking suites: a time-limited trial followed by a recurring plan. Specific prices and limits vary by vendor and plan.
Pay per check, not per month
One credit equals one keyword check on one search engine. Tracking 10 keywords daily costs 10 credits a day; switch those keywords to weekly and the same credits last seven times longer. You control the spend by choosing how many keywords you track and how often we check them.
When your free credits run out, you buy a one-time pack — there is no subscription to fall into. Every feature is available to every user, so a pack is the only thing you will ever pay for. See the full breakdown on our pricing page.
500 credits
$0.01 per keyword checkEnough for 500 checks — a light monthly routine for a small site.
2,000 credits
$0.0075 per keyword checkThe popular middle pack for steady weekly tracking.
5,000 credits
$0.005 per keyword checkThe best per-check rate for heavier tracking or client work.
Who a free, pay-as-you-go rank tracker is for
Freelancers and consultants
You track a handful of keywords per client and cannot justify a $99 monthly seat for each toolset. Credits scale with your client list — busy months cost a little more, quiet months cost nothing.
Small site owners
You want to know whether your SEO work is moving the needle on 10 to 50 keywords, checked daily or weekly. The free credits cover your first weeks, and a $5 pack covers months of light tracking.
Agencies testing the water
Trial a new tracking stack on one real campaign before committing the whole team. White-label reports and every engine are included from the first credit, so the test reflects the real product.
When a subscription tool is the better deal
We would rather you do the math than be surprised. At our best rate of $0.005 per check, tracking 1,000 keywords every single day works out to roughly $150 a month — at that volume, a flat $99–$129 subscription is genuinely cheaper. If you run very high daily-volume tracking across huge keyword sets, a subscription suite is the right call. For everyone below that line, pay-as-you-go usually means paying a fraction of a flat fee instead of paying for capacity you never use.
Free rank tracker FAQ
It is free to start, and we are upfront about what that means. Every new account gets 100 free credits with no credit card required, and each keyword check costs one credit. When those run out you can buy a one-time credit pack starting at $5 for 500 credits. There is never a monthly fee, but it is not unlimited free tracking forever.
No. You create an account with just an email address and your 100 free credits are added automatically. We only ask for payment details if and when you choose to buy a credit pack.
Each keyword check on one search engine costs one credit, so 100 credits is 100 real checks. You could track 10 keywords daily for 10 days, or 25 keywords weekly for a month, across Google, Bing, YouTube, Amazon, Google Shopping, Google Play, and the Apple App Store. Local map tracking costs one credit per pin in your grid.
Your account stays open and all of your ranking history stays visible. Trackers simply pause until you add more credits. One-time packs start at $5 for 500 credits, and you are never moved onto a subscription.
No, your credits never expire. Use them at your own pace without worrying about time limits, whether that is a burst of checks this week or a slow trickle over the year.
