Why teams leave SEOmonitor
SEOmonitor prices in euros, and that is the first thing US and UK buyers notice: the invoice moves with the exchange rate, so a dollar or sterling budget reconciles to a slightly different number every month and the annual forecast is never quite the annual spend.
The second is metered growth. Pro is EUR 299/mo for 3,000 Google keywords plus 1,000 AI tracking units, and past that extra Google keywords cost EUR 49 per 1,000 while extra AI tracking units cost EUR 19 per 1,000, so an expanding keyword set becomes an open-ended line item rather than a plan change you decide on once. The entry tier is also thinner than the platform it advertises: a single GA and GSC connection set, AI Search running weekly against one chosen model, and 10 AI articles a month.
One caveat on verification: SEOmonitor's pricing page rate-limits automated requests, so the entry-tier figure is hard to confirm from outside and worth checking at checkout rather than taking from a comparison table. The Pro tier numbers above are the ones its own site states consistently, and the euro-denominated billing is not in doubt either way.
