I tried. The price felt wrong for a small site. All we needed was to track where we rank, find keywords to target, and see who was beating us. That is what budgetSEO does, from $9 a month.

I built it with three things in mind:

1. Affordable. Starter is $9 a month for 150 keywords. Pro is $39, with daily checks on 100 keywords. No markup on credits: a cached search is free.
2. What matters, AI included. Rankings in the top 100. Keyword research. Competitor domains. Rank alerts. On Starter and Pro: Google AI Overviews and ChatGPT mention counts. Pro runs your saved prompts in ChatGPT and Gemini.
3. Powerful, but dead simple. Other SEO tools are feature-rich and bloated. budgetSEO does three things and does them well. Add a domain. Watch the rankings move. That is the interface.

Free accounts track 15 keywords. No credit card.

Verify with AI

Ask AI to evaluate budgetSEO.

Let ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini review budgetSEO based on your site. Since Gemini doesn't accept links, copy the prompt to paste into Gemini.

We check Google’s live results for the exact country, language and device you choose, and report your exact organic position anywhere in the top 100.

Credits pay for live searches. A keyword search, a domain overview, backlinks, and AI mentions each cost a fixed number of credits. A result already cached from the last 1-3 days is free. Rank checks do not use credits.

Google AI Overviews, including whether they cite you on tracked keywords and how often they mention your domain. ChatGPT mention counts are for the United States in English. Pro also asks your saved prompts in ChatGPT and Gemini.
