Moz alternatives for three client sites

By Joonas Rotko, ex-agency co-owner, 10+ years spending real marketing budgets

Prices verified · How I choose, and how I earn from this page

If you're moving off Moz with a few client sites, I'd start with SE Ranking. Core covers three clients with reports for $103.20/month billed annually, with room to add clients, and you can trial Core itself for 14 days. Moz Standard is $79/month billed annually. Prices checked 29 Sep 2026.

Every price on this page is for

  • 3 sites
  • 300 tracked keywords
  • 1 user

Who this is for. Consultants who run a few client sites on Moz Standard. Its 3 campaigns and 300 keywords fit three clients with nothing spare, so a fourth client means moving up to Medium, and Moz gives no refunds if you change your mind.

My picks for different needs

Find the line that sounds like you. Each pick links to the full reasoning below.

  1. I'm taking on more clients and need headroom

    Core takes three clients with plenty of room spare, reports included.

What you gain and give up by leaving Moz

Moz Standard is sized for exactly three clients. Moving makes sense when the next client is close, or when you want a refund policy or a trial of the plan you would pay for.

What you gain

  • Space for client number four and beyond: SE Ranking Core has 10 projects and 2,000 keywords, against Moz Standard's 3 campaigns and 300 keywords.
  • Testing the plan you will actually pay for: SE Ranking's 14-day trial runs on Core, while Moz's 7-day trial is Medium only.
  • Client reports built in: 10 on SE Ranking Core and 3 on Semrush's SEO plan.

What you give up

  • Domain Authority, which some clients quote back to you. It is Moz's own metric, and no other tool here reports it.
  • Moz's low yearly price. Standard is $79/month billed annually, which undercuts SE Ranking Core and Semrush on yearly billing.
  • Moz's free tier, which only Mangools and Semrush match among these picks.

When to stay. If you will stay at three clients and they expect Domain Authority in their reports, Moz Standard remains the cheaper fit. Move when a fourth client signs or a refund policy starts to matter.

The tools side by side

Each row is the cheapest plan that covers three client sites with about 300 tracked keywords and reports, worked out for monthly and annual billing separately.

Five picks, in the order I'd consider them

Each one says who it is for, what it costs for three client sites, and what you give up.

SE Ranking logo

SE Ranking

Best step up for client work

Hands-on

Choose it if

Your client list is growing and you want to stop buying the next Moz tier every time it does.

Consider Mangools instead if

Client work is mostly keyword research and you want a lower bill.

Why it fits three client sites

Core holds 10 projects, 2,000 keywords and 10 reports, so three clients use a fraction of it and a new client doesn't force an upgrade. White label is available through the Agency Pack add-on.

The plan I priced

Core: $129/month billed monthly, or $103.20/month billed annually.

Closest alternative

Semrush becomes the better choice when clients want competitor and content research, and the budget allows it.

Three client sites: Core

Billed annually

$103.20/mo

Billed monthly

$129/mo

Above 10 sites: Growth (+$120/mo billed annually).

The trade-off

It costs more than Moz Standard on yearly billing, there is no free plan, and like Moz it gives no refunds.
What my review says

Best for: A consultant on Moz Standard who expects a fourth client soon.

Skip it if you are sure you will stay at three clients.

Strengths

  • Several times Moz Standard's client capacity on one plan.
  • A trial of Core itself, where Moz only lets you try Medium.

Limits

  • A higher yearly price than Moz Standard.
  • No Domain Authority, which some clients ask for.

Seobility logo

Seobility

Free start, audits clients can read

Hands-on

Choose it if

Audits are what you deliver to clients and you want to start on a free plan before paying.

Consider SE Ranking instead if

A fourth client is likely. Premium includes 3 projects, and each extra one is a paid add-on.

Why it fits three client sites

Premium has the same 3 projects and 300 keywords as Moz Standard, adds reports and Google AI Overview tracking, and the free Basic plan lets you try the audit before paying.

The plan I priced

Premium: €59.90/month billed monthly, or €47.92/month billed annually, in euros. I never convert between euros and dollars.

Closest alternative

SE Ranking becomes the better choice when you need more than three client projects.

Three client sites: Premium

Billed annually

€47.92/mo

Billed monthly

€59.90/mo

Above 3 sites: Premium with Additional project (+€14.90/mo billed annually).

The trade-off

Premium has no spare project, so a fourth client means buying one as an add-on, white label needs Professional, and AI prompt tracking is still coming soon.
What my review says

Best for: A consultant leaving Moz who delivers audit-led client work and wants a free start.

Skip it if you want room for new clients without paying for add-ons.

Strengths

  • The same capacity as Moz Standard, with Google AI Overview tracking.
  • A free Basic plan to test the audit before paying.

Limits

  • No spare project on Premium, so a fourth client costs extra.
  • AI prompt tracking not on sale yet, and no white label below Professional.

Semrush

Biggest toolbox for client work

Hands-on

Choose it if

Clients pay you for competitor, content and ad research, not just ranking reports.

Consider SE Ranking instead if

You want more client room for less. Core holds 10 projects.

Why it fits three client sites

The SEO plan covers 5 projects, 500 keywords and 3 reports, which leaves room beyond three clients, and a limited free plan lets you set it up before paying.

The plan I priced

SEO plan: $139.95/month billed monthly, or $117.33/month billed annually.

Closest alternative

SE Ranking becomes the better choice when you want similar client capacity for less.

Billed annually

$117.33/mo

Billed monthly

$139.95/mo

Above 5 sites: Pro+ (+$130.84/mo billed annually).

The trade-off

It is the most expensive pick for three clients, refunds apply to annual plans only, and there is no Domain Authority.
What my review says

Best for: A consultant leaving Moz who sells research to clients, not only rank reports.

Skip it if you mainly send clients rank and audit reports.

Strengths

  • Research depth for pitches: competitors, content and ads.
  • Room for more clients than Moz Standard on the SEO plan.

Limits

  • The highest bill on this page for three clients.
  • One user per plan, so an assistant costs extra.

Moz alternatives for three client sites
Mangools logo

Mangools

Keyword-first, unlimited domains

Hands-on

Choose it if

Most client work is keyword research and you want domain count to stop mattering.

Consider SE Ranking instead if

Clients expect audits and reports. Mangools lists no site audit.

Why it fits three client sites

Premium has unlimited domains and tracks 700 keywords, so the campaign cap that boxes you in on Moz disappears, and there is a free plan to start on.

The plan I priced

Premium: $81/month billed monthly, or $52.70/month billed annually.

Closest alternative

SE Ranking becomes the better choice when audits belong in the same account as tracking.

The trade-off

What my review says

Best for: A keyword-focused consultant tired of Moz's campaign cap.

Skip it if you deliver technical audits to clients.

Strengths

  • Unlimited domains, so a new client never triggers an upgrade.
  • The lowest yearly price for three clients on this page.

Limits

  • No site audit, which Moz Standard includes.
  • Weekly rank checks on Premium.

Moz alternatives for three client sites
Morningscore logo

Morningscore

Simple dashboard for client check-ins

Desk research

Choose it if

Clients want to see progress in simple terms rather than in Moz metrics.

Consider SE Ranking instead if

You send more than 3 reports a month, the Business limit.

Why it fits three client sites

Business covers 10 websites and 500 keywords with Google and ChatGPT tracking, so three clients fit with room left for more.

The plan I priced

Business: $99/month billed monthly, or $82.50/month billed annually. The 14-day trial needs no card.

Closest alternative

SE Ranking becomes the better choice when you want more reports and higher limits.

Above 10 sites: Pro (+$50/mo billed annually).

The trade-off

Business allows only 3 reports a month, and no white label is listed, so client reports carry Morningscore's brand.
What my review says

Best for: A consultant leaving Moz whose clients want a simple view of progress.

Skip it if you send every client a branded monthly report.

Strengths

  • Room for more client sites than Moz Standard.
  • Google AI Overview and ChatGPT tracking included.

Limits

  • Few reports a month on Business.
  • No white label listed.

What three client sites really costs

The same workload on every plan, so the prices are comparable. The bar is the annual-billing price per month.

Dollar prices, per month (billed annually where sold)

Other currencies, per month (billed annually where sold)

Other currencies are not converted to dollars and are not compared with the bars above.

Pay monthly or yearly?

What yearly billing saves on the same plan.

  • SE Ranking$129 monthly, $103.20 yearly: 20% less
  • Seobility€59.90 monthly, €47.92 yearly: 20% less
  • Semrush$139.95 monthly, $117.33 yearly: 16% less
  • Mangools$81 monthly, $52.70 yearly: 35% less
  • Morningscore$99 monthly, $82.50 yearly: 17% less

When you'll outgrow the plan

The first limit you hit, and the next plan up.

  • SE Ranking: above 10 sites, Growth (+$120/mo)
  • Seobility: above 3 sites, Premium with Additional project (+€14.90/mo)
  • Semrush: above 5 sites, Pro+ (+$130.84/mo)
  • Mangools: above 700 tracked keywords, Mangools Agency (+$45/mo)
  • Morningscore: above 10 sites, Pro (+$50/mo)
How I calculated this

Workload: 3 sites, 300 tracked keywords, 1 user.

A plan counts only if it covers three client sites, about 300 tracked keywords and client reports. The cheapest plan that does is the one priced.

    Other options, and why they missed the list

    I kept the list to tools that cover SEO for a few client sites with reports and publish their limits. Tracking-only and keyword-only tools answer a different question from "what do I move to from Moz".

    • Ahrefs logo

      Ahrefs

      The deepest backlink data, and no affiliate link from me. Its published plans don't state report limits, so it can't be priced for this workload.

    • Search Atlas logo

      Search Atlas

      An all-in-one with agency-style features. Worth a look if you want the tool to apply fixes for clients.

    • AccuRanker logo

      AccuRanker

      Rank tracking only, with client reporting. Worth a look if rankings are all your clients pay for.

    Who is behind this guide

    Joonas Rotko

    I co-ran a marketing agency in Finland and spent more than ten years buying SEO and marketing software with real client budgets. I write these guides for the person who has to pay for the tool and use it.

    More about me and how I review

    Affiliate disclosure

    Some of these links are affiliate links, and I earn a commission if you buy through them, at no cost to you. That never moves a price or a verdict. Order follows fit for this reader first, and where two tools fit about equally the affiliate partner goes first. Ahrefs sits in other options because its published plans don't state report limits, and I have no affiliate link for it.

    How this guide was prepared

    What I did

    • I priced a consultant with three client sites, about 300 tracked keywords and client reports, using each vendor's pricing page on the date beside its source link.
    • The plan shown for each tool is the cheapest one whose published limits cover that client load, checked for monthly and for annual billing.
    • Seobility prices in euros and the others in dollars, so no price here is compared with one in the other currency.
    • Hands-on cards are tools I use myself. Morningscore rests on its published plans and is marked as desk research.

    What to keep in mind

    • Plans and prices change without warning, so check the vendor's page before you commit a client budget.
    • Moz's trial covers its Medium plan on monthly billing, not the Standard plan.
    • White label is an add-on or higher plan at most vendors, so it isn't counted in these prices.

    Questions people ask

    Why would I leave Moz?

    For consultants it is mostly the cap: Standard stops at 3 campaigns and 300 keywords, there are no refunds, and the 7-day trial only covers Medium.

    What is the cheapest Moz alternative for three clients?

    On yearly billing, Mangools Premium at $52.70/month billed annually, then Morningscore Business at $82.50/month billed annually and SE Ranking Core at $103.20/month billed annually. Seobility bills in euros, so I don't rank it against them.

    Do any of these include white-label reports?

    Not on the plans priced here. SE Ranking sells it in the Agency Pack add-on, Seobility includes it from Professional, and Morningscore doesn't list it.

    Can I try them before paying?

    Yes. SE Ranking gives 14 days on Core, Morningscore 14 days without a card, and Semrush 7 days plus a limited free plan. Seobility has a free Basic plan and a 14-day trial, and Mangools a free plan.
