Estimate your monthly SERP provider spend before you connect keys.
Each result page covers up to 10 positions. Estimates assume full depth; usage can be lower when your site is found earlier.

One check tracks one keyword in one market on one device. A market combines a location and language. Top 20 can fetch two result pages per check; Top 100 can fetch ten. The estimate below assumes full depth and uses your selections above.
SERP provider pricing usually falls into one of two shapes: every check has a unit cost, or a monthly plan includes a search allowance.
| Model | Example | Cost basis | Tradeoff |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pay-as-you-go per check | DataForSEO | Each check is priced by the provider pages its depth needs. | Follows actual volume, with no plan step-up. |
| Subscription plan | SerpApi | A monthly plan includes a fixed number of searches. | Predictable, but cost per check jumps at each threshold. |
Short answers about provider pricing, check volume, and spend control.
Self-hosted, yes: bisibility is open source under the AGPL. Cloud access costs $3/month after a free trial. With your own provider keys, you pay the provider directly. Optional Cloud credits are purchased separately. This calculator estimates provider spend only.
Pay-as-you-go pricing charges a unit rate for each check you run. Subscription pricing charges for a monthly plan that includes a search allowance, so cost changes when your usage crosses plan thresholds.
The calculator multiplies keywords by markets, devices, pages per check, and runs per month. A market combines a location and language. Top 20 uses up to two pages per check, so one keyword in one market on one device, checked daily, needs up to 60 result pages over 30 runs. Finding your site earlier can lower actual usage.
Frequency multiplies the usage from your keywords, markets, devices, and depth. Daily tracking is modeled as 30 runs per month, weekly as 4, and monthly as 1.
Yes. Desktop and mobile are separate device contexts, so tracking both devices runs two provider checks for each keyword and market.
No. Competitor positions are read from the same SERP snapshot as your own keyword check, so they add zero additional provider checks.
DataForSEO Live cost depends on the requested depth. The calculator estimates the base rate for every page of up to 10 results. Choose your depth above to see the current per-check and monthly estimates. Actual provider receipts determine the final cost.
The calculator lists the available public monthly plans with their prices and search allowances. One Top-N check uses up to ceil(N/10) searches, usually fewer with the default stop-on-match setting. Select a plan above or use automatic selection for your volume. Enterprise pricing is custom and is not included.
Yes. Each project can set a monthly budget per provider, separately for the app and schedules and for API, MCP and SDK calls; when a budget is reached, that surface pauses until the next month. Project owners and admins change it in Settings / Usage.
The calculator uses provider rates stamped with a checked-on date, then the app records the provider-reported spend for every completed check. DataForSEO refunds unused requested depth automatically, so real per-check cost can be slightly lower.
Cloud access costs $3/month after a free trial. Self-hosted software stays free under AGPL. Use your own provider keys or optional Cloud credits. Provider usage is billed separately.
