What is this tool?
The shape of this pricing matters more than the prices themselves. The free plan's allowances are lifetime totals rather than monthly ones — five keyword reports, five SEO reports and twenty link opportunities — and then it is spent: a look at the quality of the recommendations, not a basis for running a project. The paid tiers then meter reports per day, at 5, 20 and 80 keyword reports, which rewards steady weekly work over compressing a fortnight into an afternoon. Websites are the other axis, at 1, 7 and 25. The trial gives full functionality and costs nothing if you cancel inside it.

CanIRank's position is that an SEO tool should tell you what to do. Its reports return ranked actions rather than a dashboard, and rankings are tracked to show whether those actions moved anything. That framing decides who it is for more than any feature does.
Above the free plan sit three DIY tiers at $49, $79 and $299 a month. Website coverage across the four is 1, 1, 7 and 25, so the first paid step buys volume rather than breadth and the second buys breadth.
The free plan deserves care because its numbers look monthly and are not. Five keyword reports, five SEO reports and twenty link opportunities are lifetime totals — they do not reset. There are no bonus reports. What that buys is a genuine look at the quality of the recommendations on your own site, which is the right thing to be evaluating, and it will not carry a project.
On the paid tiers, reports are metered per day: 5, 20 and 80 keyword reports and 3, 10 and 40 SEO reports daily. Link opportunities are metered monthly instead, at 50, 250 and 1,000. The practical consequence is a working rhythm rather than a budget — you cannot bank unused daily reports, so a tool that suits weekly maintenance work will frustrate anyone doing an intensive audit in a single week.
Every paid plan carries a 7-day free trial of the full software, and cancelling inside those seven days costs nothing. Since the daily caps are what decide whether the rhythm suits you, the trial is worth spending on your actual week's work rather than on browsing the interface.
Is this right for you?
Quick fit check against how you actually work.
Choose this if
- You want to be told what to do next rather than handed metrics to interpret
- Your SEO work happens at a steady weekly cadence that fits a daily report allowance
- You manage one site, or a portfolio that fits inside 7 or 25
- You want to evaluate the recommendations on your own site before paying, which the free plan's lifetime totals allow
- Link building is a real part of the work, since that allowance accumulates monthly rather than daily
Consider alternatives if
- You work in bursts — an audit week, a migration, a launch — where a daily report cap stops you on the first afternoon
- You need raw data and your own judgement over it, rather than ranked recommendations
- You have between 8 and 25 sites: the ladder jumps from 7 sites at $79 to 25 at $299 with nothing in between
- You expected the free plan's five reports to refresh monthly; they are lifetime totals and do not
- You need more than seven days to evaluate, since that is the length of the trial
Key features
What you can actually do with this tool.
Recommendations rather than metrics
The output is a ranked set of actions to take, not a set of numbers to interpret. That narrows who it suits: it is built for someone who wants the next task, and it removes the layer of judgement that an analyst would want to keep.
A free plan measured in lifetime totals
Five keyword reports, five SEO reports and twenty link opportunities — in total, not per month. It is a permanent plan in the sense that it does not expire, and a finite one in the sense that it does not refill. Use it to judge the recommendations, not to do work.
Paid allowances counted per day
5, 20 and 80 keyword reports a day and 3, 10 and 40 SEO reports a day across the three paid tiers. A daily cap paces the work for you: it suits a regular cadence and blocks a research sprint, which is a genuine fit question rather than a detail.
Link opportunities on a monthly meter instead
50, 250 and 1,000 a month. Unlike the reports, this one accumulates across the month, so link work can be batched in a way report generation cannot.
A full-functionality trial with a clean exit
Seven days of the complete software, cancellable inside those seven days at no charge — long enough to run one real week of work against the daily caps.

Frequently asked
Common questions about this tool, answered.
What does the free plan actually give me?
One website, and lifetime totals of 5 keyword reports, 5 SEO reports and 20 link opportunities, with no bonus reports. Those are totals, not monthly allowances, and they do not reset.
What does the jump from $79 to $299 buy?
Eighteen more websites, four times the daily report allowance and four times the monthly link opportunities. It is a portfolio-scale step rather than an incremental one.
