About
SEO tools that cost what the data costs
Ranktide is a hosted SEO platform for marketing agencies, freelancers, small businesses and in-house marketers. It covers keyword research, rank tracking, Google Maps grids, site audits, backlinks, AI visibility and client reports in one workspace.
Why usage pricing
Data has a real cost. We price around it.
Every keyword list, results page, backlink profile and AI answer is a paid call to a data provider. Most SEO suites fold that cost into seat prices and monthly caps, so a small team pays for capacity it never uses.
Ranktide charges credits for data at one fixed rate: what the provider charges us plus 28% on subscription plans, with 1,000 credits to the dollar. That margin pays for payment fees, hosting and the product. Reading results you already have, Search Console and GA4 is free.
Each plan includes a month of credits, seats and limits. A quiet month uses fewer credits; a busy one can top up, and top-ups never expire. Agencies that already pay DataForSEO can connect their own key on Agency and Scale.

Three sources, named
DataForSEO
Keyword metrics, search results, backlinks, domain data, Google Maps results and AI answers.
Google APIs
Search Console and Google Analytics 4, read-only, for the properties you connect.
RanktideBot
Our own crawler for site audits. It reads robots.txt and identifies itself on every request.
How we work
Four rules the product follows
Show the cost first
Rank trackers, grids and AI checks show what they will cost before they run. When credits run out, work pauses until you top up or the next month's credits arrive.
Seats aren't the product
A team of five shouldn't pay five times. Every plan includes seats, and clients read reports by link.
Name the data source
Every number comes from a named provider or your own Google accounts. Estimates are labelled as estimates.
Your data stays yours
We don't sell customer data or use your projects for advertising. Google data is used only to show it back to you.
