“So much cheaper than my previous software whilst also offering far more insight into my issues and industry keywords. Highly recommended.”
UtilitySEO vs Semrush
An honest comparison — including the things Semrush still does better.
Semrush pricing and features as published at the time of writing. We keep this current — tell us if anything looks out of date.
Who should switch from Semrush — and who shouldn't
Semrush is a genuinely excellent platform. If you run an agency, manage dozens of clients, or live inside features like log-file analysis, bulk competitive research and the deepest backlink index on the market, it earns its price.
Switch to UtilitySEO if…
- You're a founder or small team and want to know what to fix next, not wade through a 400-row export
- $1,600+ a year is hard to justify for features you don't touch
- You want AI-prioritised fixes and brand tracking across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Grok in the same tool
- You'd rather be up and running in 30 seconds than spend a weekend learning the interface
Stay on Semrush if…
- You need the largest backlink and keyword databases available
- You're an agency that bills for advanced competitive and PPC research
- Your team already knows the tool inside out
We'd rather you pick the right tool than the wrong one — that's why the comparison above is honest about where Semrush still wins.
