AccuRanker API pricing and what the $764 Expert plan buys
AccuRanker does not sell its API separately. The unlimited read API comes with the Expert plan, which starts at $764 a month for 10,000 daily keywords. The $224 Professional plan has no API at all, and the write API and raw SERP HTML are reserved for Enterprise, which is priced by quote. Yearly billing takes 10% off.

AccuRanker API price by plan
AccuRanker's API feature page promises "Full API access at no additional cost, no matter how many requests you process" and "unlimited calls". Both are true, and both leave out the part that decides the bill. The pricing page puts the API on specific plans, and the first plan that has it is the second most expensive one. Here is what each card lists, read from accuranker.com/pricing in October 2026, in US dollars, monthly.
| Plan | Monthly | Daily keywords | Read API | Write API and SERP HTML |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Professional | From $224 | 2,000, 3,000 or 5,000 | No | No |
| Expert | From $764 | 10,000, 15,000, 20,000 or 25,000 | Unlimited | No |
| Enterprise | By quote | More than 25,000 | Unlimited | Yes |
The $224 and $764 figures are the entry points for each plan. AccuRanker prices larger keyword counts on a slider inside each plan and we could not confirm every step, so we quote only the floors. All three plans refresh rankings daily, and yearly billing takes 10% off whichever plan you pick, which puts Expert at about $688 a month.
The 5,000 keyword problem
The plan structure creates one awkward case, and it is a common one. An agency tracking 5,000 keywords is at the top of Professional, where there is no API. The moment it needs the data in Looker Studio, BigQuery or its own client portal, it moves to Expert, which starts at 10,000 keywords. It pays for 5,000 keywords it does not track, so the $764 floor works out to about $0.153 per keyword it actually uses each month.
That is not a hidden fee. It is a packaging decision, and AccuRanker states it plainly on the cards. But it means the useful question for a buyer is not "how much is the AccuRanker API", it is "how many keywords do I have to buy to get it". For lists under 10,000, the answer is always more than you need.
Once you are past 10,000 the picture flips. At 10,000 keywords Expert works out to $0.076 per keyword a month with an unlimited read API, which is a fair price for a tracker with AccuRanker's depth of tagging, filtering and reporting.
What the read API gives you, and what needs Enterprise
The read API is the one most teams want. It pulls your rankings, history and account data into other tools, and AccuRanker lists ready connectors around it: BigQuery, Data Studio, Google Sheets, Databox, Swydo, Google Search Console and Google Analytics. If the plan is a nightly sync into a warehouse with dashboards on top, Expert covers it.
Two things are held back for Enterprise. The write API, which lets code add and remove keywords and domains instead of a person in the app, matters to agencies that onboard clients through their own systems. And raw SERP HTML, the full results page behind each reading, matters to teams that analyze SERP features themselves. If you only want raw HTML of ordinary public pages, not Google results, a web scraping API is a different and much smaller purchase than an enterprise tracker contract.
AccuRanker API vs other rank tracker APIs
The fairest comparison is the cheapest plan on which each tracker lets you pull rankings out by API, and how often those rankings refresh. Figures come from each vendor's own pricing or documentation pages, read on the dates in our linked teardowns.
| Tracker | Cheapest plan with API | Refresh | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| AccuRanker | $764 Expert, 10,000 keywords | Daily | Read API only; write API and SERP HTML on Enterprise. |
| SE Ranking | $129 Core, 2,000 keywords | Daily | Projects API on every plan, plus 25,000 research credits a month. |
| Ahrefs | $129 Lite, 750 keywords | Weekly | Rank Tracker endpoints use no API units. |
| Keyword.com | $46 API only, 1,000 keywords | Daily | API only plan without the dashboard. |
| Semrush | $549 Advanced | Daily | API units bought on top of the plan. |
| SerpsTracker | $249 Agency, 5,000 keywords | Daily | Unlimited sites, flat rate, $124.50 billed yearly. |
Details for each row are in our SE Ranking API pricing, Ahrefs API pricing, Keyword.com API pricing and Semrush API pricing pages. AccuRanker is the most expensive way in on this list, and it is also one of the few that reads deep and lets you slice the data by tags and segments in the app before you ever touch the API. Whether that is worth $764 depends on whether you use those features or only want the numbers out.
Is the AccuRanker API worth it?
For an agency already on Expert, yes, without much thought. The API is included, uncapped and backed by connectors, and there is no metering to forecast. Using it costs nothing extra.
For a team on Professional that wants the API for one dashboard, it is a hard sell. The step from the $224 Professional floor to the $764 Expert floor is $540 a month, plus a larger keyword allowance, to move the same rankings into another tool. In that spot, compare the cost of moving the list to a tracker that includes the API at your actual size. Our AccuRanker alternative page compares the two trackers feature by feature, and AccuRanker alternatives lists the other options with their prices.
Where SerpsTracker fits
We do one job, daily Google rank tracking, and the rank tracking API comes with the Agency plan at $249 a month, or $124.50 billed yearly, for 5,000 keywords checked every day across unlimited sites. It returns today's top 10 position per keyword, a column per competitor, 90 days of history and the stored top 10 behind each reading. Enterprise doubles that to 10,000 keywords for $498. We read Google's organic top 10 only, so if you need positions on page three or a write API, AccuRanker is the stronger tool. The plans and limits page lists what each tier includes.
AccuRanker API pricing questions
How much does the AccuRanker API cost?
The AccuRanker API has no price of its own. It comes with the plan: the read API starts on Expert at $764 a month for 10,000 daily keywords, about $688 a month on yearly billing with the 10% discount. The $224 Professional plan has no API. The write API and raw SERP HTML are on Enterprise, priced by quote.
Is the AccuRanker API free?
It is free in the sense that AccuRanker charges nothing per call. Its API page says "Full API access at no additional cost, no matter how many requests you process." The catch is the plan behind it: the pricing page lists the unlimited read API from Expert at $764 a month, so the cheapest way to use it costs that much.
Does AccuRanker Professional include API access?
No. The Professional plan at $224 a month covers 2,000, 3,000 or 5,000 daily keywords and lists no API on its card. Unlimited read API first appears on Expert, which starts at 10,000 keywords. A team that tracks 5,000 keywords and needs the API has to buy twice the keywords it uses.
Is the AccuRanker API rate limited?
AccuRanker advertises unlimited calls and publishes no per second limit on its API page. That is a statement about billing, not a guarantee of throughput, so a build that pulls tens of thousands of keywords should page through results and back off on errors rather than assume no ceiling exists.
What is the difference between the AccuRanker read API and write API?
The read API pulls data out: rankings, history, tags and the other numbers in your account, into your own dashboards or a warehouse. The write API pushes changes in, such as adding or removing keywords and domains from code. AccuRanker lists the read API on Expert and the write API on Enterprise only.
What is a cheaper alternative to the AccuRanker API?
For daily Google positions through an API, SerpsTracker Agency tracks 5,000 keywords on unlimited sites with the API included for $249 a month, or $124.50 billed yearly, and Enterprise covers 10,000 for $498. AccuRanker reads deeper than our top 10 and has richer tagging; we are cheaper for the tracking job.
