Why teams switch from Semrush

It's not just about saving money — it's about working smarter with AI.

One credit balance, plans from $99

Semrush's Pro ($139.95) and Guru ($249.95) plans include MCP access with 50,000 API units a month. Done For You Hub plans start at $99/mo, with every tool drawing on one credit balance.

Stop paying per-user fees

Semrush charges from $45/mo per additional user. Done For You Hub SEO is priced per account, not per user.

Local SEO shouldn't be an add-on

Semrush charges $30-60/mo per location for local SEO features. Done For You Hub includes geo-grid local rank tracking at no extra cost — scan any location, any keyword.

Your AI does the analysis, not dashboards

Semrush was built for humans navigating complex dashboards. Done For You Hub was built for AI agents that chain tools together and deliver insights — not data dumps.

One credit balance, every tool

Semrush splits features across tools and add-ons. Every Done For You Hub tool draws from the same monthly credit balance, so a geo-grid scan and a keyword pull come out of one bucket. Start free with 1,000 credits.

No feature walls between plans

Every Done For You Hub plan includes all 93 tools. No features locked behind higher tiers. The only difference is how many credits you get.
