Questions people ask before switching from Semrush.

Is there a cheaper alternative to Semrush?

Yes. If you mostly need an audit, the searches you're closest to winning, and what to do next, Solstice AI starts at $25 a month, or $17.50 on yearly billing.

Is the data as good?

For your own site it's the source itself: your Google Analytics, your Search Console, and live Google results. We don't estimate what we can check.

Can I use both?

Yes. Plenty of people keep a suite for research and use Solstice AI to decide what to do on Monday.

What about agencies?

Flare covers ten sites for $200 a month, or $140 on yearly billing. That's $20 a site or less.
