Questions about Keyword Rankings.

For each keyword, Keyword Rankings returns your site's Google position, the page that ranks and any other pages of yours in the top 100, competitors' positions, the top 10 results, and whether the AI Overview cites you.
$0.09 per keyword checked, up to five keywords per call, and a keyword whose results could not be fetched is free. There is no subscription, and the $1 signup credit covers 11 keywords.
Keyword Rankings checks Google in 40 countries, from the United States and the United Kingdom to Germany, Brazil and Japan, on desktop or mobile. Each check uses the country's main language unless you pick a supported second one.
Search Console averages every searcher, device and location over days. Keyword Rankings is one live check from one country and device, and Google shows different results to different people, so the two rarely match exactly.
Yes. The Keyword Rank Tracker checks up to 100 keywords for one site on a weekly or monthly schedule, keeps every run, and reports the moves worth acting on.
No. Keyword Rankings reports live Google positions. For search volume and CPC use Keyword Research; for backlinks, site audits or keyword difficulty, a full SEO suite such as Ahrefs or Semrush is the better fit.
