THE PROBLEM
Semrush is a powerful tool — but it's built for agencies with deep pockets, not bootstrappers watching every dollar.
Paying $140-500/month?
Semrush pricing is built for enterprise budgets. Most freelancers and small businesses only use 20% of the features they pay for.
Features You'll Never Use
Social media toolkit, content marketing platform, PPC tools... Semrush bundles everything, whether you need it or not.
Overwhelming Interface
With 50+ tools crammed into one dashboard, finding what you need feels like navigating a maze.
Support for Enterprise, Not You
Priority support is reserved for higher tiers. As a small customer, you're not the priority.
