For AppSumo buyers
Your Ranktide lifetime license
Each License Tier gets the limits of a Ranktide plan for life, a monthly credit allowance at cost, and room to bring your own DataForSEO key. Tiers run from $69 to $699.

Credits and data
Data at cost, with no markup
Every search result, keyword list and backlink profile costs us money to fetch. A one-time price can't cover unlimited data, so instead of capping you, we pass data through at cost.
The monthly allowance is small on purpose
500 credits is $0.50 of data; 5,000 is $5. That covers light use, such as a few keyword searches or a small grid each month. It resets monthly and doesn't roll over.
Your own DataForSEO key for regular work
Connect a DataForSEO API key and every DataForSEO call bills to your DataForSEO account at their prices. Ranktide adds nothing on top. AI features and JavaScript rendering still use credits.
Or top up at cost
Buy $20 to $500 of credits at a time, at 1,000 credits per $1. Top-ups never expire.

FAQ
AppSumo questions
Can I move between tiers?
Yes. Upgrade or downgrade on AppSumo and the new tier's limits and monthly credits apply to your organisation. Tiers replace each other; codes don't stack.
Can I get a refund?
AppSumo handles refunds for 60 days after purchase. Ask through your AppSumo account; we can't refund AppSumo orders directly.
What happens to my data after a refund?
Your account, projects and saved results stay. The organisation moves to the Free plan, so its limits apply and work beyond them pauses until you choose a plan.
Do I need a DataForSEO account?
No. You can use the monthly credits and buy top-ups at cost. For regular work, your own key is usually the cheaper route, because DataForSEO calls then bill to your account with no Ranktide charge.
Which features still use credits with my own key?
AI features, which call language models, and JavaScript rendering in site audits. Everything that calls DataForSEO bills to your DataForSEO account instead.
Can I add a monthly subscription as well?
Not on the same organisation. An organisation with an AppSumo license can't also hold a subscription, but it can buy top-ups at cost whenever it needs more credits.
What does lifetime mean?
Access to Ranktide at the tier you bought for as long as Ranktide runs, including future updates to that tier's features.
How long do I have to redeem?
60 days from purchase. If redeeming doesn't work, email support@ranktide.io with your AppSumo order email.
Already activated on AppSumo?
Finish redeeming on Ranktide. Sign in or create an account and the license attaches to your organisation.
