CognitiveSEO has three plans — Starter, Premium, and Elite — starting at $89/month on a 12-month contract ($129.99 month-to-month). Pricing scales with campaigns, keywords, users, and analysis limits, and every plan comes with a 7-day free trial.
CognitiveSEO costs between $89 and $349 per month with 3 plans: Starter at $89/mo, Premium at $199/mo, and Elite at $349/mo on the 12-month contract.
Here's how each plan breaks down.
Starter
Price: $89/mo billed annually, or $129.99/mo month-to-month
Best For: Freelancers, startups, and in-house marketers on a limited budget
Other Features:
- 5 campaigns and 2 users
- 1,500 keywords tracked and 200,000 backlinks analyzed per site
- 50,000-page OnPage audit and 150 content audit credits
- Keyword research, site explorer, reports, competitor analysis, and Google Analytics integration
This is the entry point, but it doesn't feel stripped down. You still get the core toolkit: site audits, rank tracking, backlink analysis, and competitor research. If you're working solo or on a tight budget, it's a sensible place to start. Just know you'll skip whitelabel reports, JavaScript crawling, and API access here.
Premium
Price: $199/mo billed annually, or $299/mo month-to-month
Best For: Small and medium agencies or SMBs
Other Features:
- 10 campaigns and 5 users
- 4,500 keywords tracked and 1 million backlinks analyzed per site
- 150,000-page OnPage audit and 500 content audit credits
- Adds whitelabel reporting, JavaScript crawling, and a Customer Success Manager
Premium hits the sweet spot for client work. Whitelabel reports let you brand deliverables as your own, which agencies tend to love. The dedicated Customer Success Manager helps too, since you won't be troubleshooting alone.
Elite
Price: $349/mo billed annually, or $499/mo month-to-month
Best For: Larger agencies or enterprises
Other Features:
- 25 campaigns and 10 users
- 13,500 keywords tracked and 3 million backlinks analyzed per site
- 300,000-page OnPage audit and 1,000 content audit credits
- Everything in Premium, plus API access
Elite is built for teams running many campaigns at once. The API is the real differentiator — it lets you pipe data into your own dashboards or workflows. If your keyword and link volumes are modest, Premium probably covers you at a lower cost.
There's no free plan, but you can test the tool with a 7-day free trial. To start it, pick the Starter plan and add a credit card or PayPal. Cancel anytime during those 7 days and you won't be charged a thing. 💡 One tip before buying: every plan offers a 1-month or 12-month contract, and the price gap between them is significant.
