Free AccuRanker Alternative: 6 Best Tools in 2026
Paul VengeonsCo-Founder & SEO ConsultantIn short
AccuRanker has no free plan and starts at $224 a month for 2,000 keywords. Google Search Console tracks every query of your own site for free over 16 months, the free edition of Rank Tracker checks unlimited keywords without saving history, Seobility follows 10 keywords, and SERPROBOT checks any domain on demand.
A rank tracker shows a position, not how to change it. ChatSEO finds your pages stuck in positions 5 to 20 and tells you how to move them up.

Answer 5 questions to find your rank tracker
π¬ How I picked these free AccuRanker alternatives
I only kept tools that show keyword positions for $0, with no card and no time limit. ChatSEO is the one exception: it is a paid tool with a free trial, and I flag it because I co-founded it.
Every free limit and price below was checked on the vendors' official pages on October 11, 2026. I scored each tool on four things: how free it really is, how many keywords it follows for free, whether it keeps a history, and whether it tells you what to do with a position.
My take after years of watching rankings for clients: a daily rank tracker is mostly a stress machine. Google holds a page in a transition of about 90 days after a real change, so a position that moves from 7 to 9 on a Tuesday tells you nothing. Once a week is plenty, and daily data is only worth paying for when a client contract requires it.

π The 6 best free AccuRanker alternatives
1. Google Search Console: the best free rank tracker for your own site
Google Search Console is the free rank tracker most people already have: it shows the position of your site for every query it appeared on, with no keyword limit, over 16 months. No scraper is involved. The data comes from Google itself, with a delay of 2 to 3 days.
The trap is the average position. It only says where you rank when you filter on one exact page and one exact query. Without the filter, an impression at position 85 is averaged with your real rankings and the number means nothing. It also never shows your competitors.
2. Rank Tracker by SEO PowerSuite: unlimited keywords for free, without history
Rank Tracker is a desktop app for Windows, Mac and Linux whose free edition checks an unlimited number of keywords, on desktop and mobile, with one competitor per project. It is the only free option here that runs real SERP checks at volume.
The limit is memory: the free edition does not save your projects, so there is no ranking history from one session to the next. It works for a one-off check of 300 keywords before a migration. For week-over-week tracking you need a paid licence.
3. Bing Webmaster Tools: free positions on Bing
Bing Webmaster Tools gives the same kind of report as Search Console, for Bing: clicks, impressions and average position per query, for free. You can import your verified sites from Google Search Console in a few clicks.
It matters more than its market share suggests, because Bing's index feeds Microsoft Copilot and other AI assistants. A page that ranks on Bing is a page those assistants can cite. Check it once a month, not every day.
4. Seobility: 10 keywords tracked for free in the cloud
Seobility's free Basic plan tracks 10 keywords on 1 project, in the cloud, with history and no card. It also audits 100 pages per crawl, which our free Screaming Frog alternative guide covers.
Ten keywords is enough for a plumber or a restaurant, where three services and a city are the whole game. Beyond that, the first paid plan costs β¬59.90/month.
5. SERPROBOT: the free check on any domain
SERPROBOT runs a free on-demand SERP checker with no account: type a domain and a few keywords, and it returns the positions. Unlike Search Console, it works on a competitor's domain.
Nothing is saved in the free checker, so it answers one question: where does this site rank today? If you want it stored, each paid bot costs $4.99/month for 75 keyword updates per day, the cheapest paid tracking I know.
6. 
ChatSEO: best for moving the positions you track
ChatSEO is the tool I co-founded, and it is not free: the onboarding and your first message cost nothing, then it is a 7-day trial with 30 credits (card required, nothing charged before day 7). After the trial, plans start at β¬29/month, or β¬23.20/month billed annually.
It reads your Search Console data and looks for the pages sitting in positions 5 to 20 with impressions, the quick wins, then tells you what to change on each one. It is not a daily SERP tracker: positions come from Search Console, so they are yours only and 2 to 3 days old. Do not pick it to follow 2,000 keywords across competitors every morning: that is AccuRanker's job.

πΈ What AccuRanker costs, and what free trackers leave out
AccuRanker has no free plan: its Professional plan starts at $224 a month for 2,000 keywords, with daily updates and a 10% discount on annual billing. The Expert plan starts at $764 a month for 10,000 keywords.
That price buys daily, on-demand positions for thousands of keywords, competitors included. A freelancer following 50 keywords pays for 1,950 unused slots. And whatever the tracker, paid or free, it stops at the number: none of them says why a page is stuck at position 8.

βοΈ Which free AccuRanker alternative should you choose?
Pick from whose positions you need and how often.
- β You track your own site β Google Search Console
- β You need hundreds of keywords checked once β Rank Tracker free edition
- β You want your positions on Bing β Bing Webmaster Tools
- β You follow 10 local keywords β Seobility free plan
- β You want a quick look at a competitor β SERPROBOT
- β You want to know how to move a page up β ChatSEO trial
Do not judge a page on a daily position. After a real change, give it three months before you decide. Re-editing a page every time it drops two places restarts the clock.
β Frequently asked questions
What is the best free alternative to AccuRanker?
For your own site, Google Search Console is the best free alternative: positions for every query, no keyword limit, 16 months of history. For competitor positions, the free edition of Rank Tracker checks unlimited keywords but saves nothing.
Is AccuRanker free?
No. AccuRanker has no free plan. Its Professional plan starts at $224 a month for 2,000 keywords, with a 10% discount on annual billing.
Can Google Search Console replace a rank tracker?
Yes for your own site, if you filter on one exact page and one exact query. It does not show competitors, and its data is 2 to 3 days late.
Is there a free rank tracker with unlimited keywords?
Yes: the free edition of Rank Tracker by SEO PowerSuite checks unlimited keywords. The catch is that it does not save projects, so you get no history.
Is ChatSEO free?
No. The onboarding and the first message are free, then ChatSEO is a 7-day trial with 30 credits, then from β¬29/month or β¬23.20/month billed annually. It is the option for acting on your positions, not for tracking thousands of them.
π Final verdict
For $0 rank tracking, use Google Search Console for your own site, with the exact page and query filter, and SERPROBOT or the free Rank Tracker when you need a competitor's positions. That covers most freelancers and small businesses.
Who should just pay for AccuRanker: agencies and large sites that report daily positions on 2,000 keywords or more, with tags and client dashboards. At that scale, $224 a month is the cost of doing the job. When the problem is no longer knowing the position but changing it, the ChatSEO trial is the shortcut.
