How much does Semrush cost?

Semrush plans cost $139.95 (SEO), $199 (Starter), $299 (Pro+) and $549 (Advanced) a month, or up to 17% less billed annually, from $117.33 a month for SEO.

Starter and above add AI visibility tracking across ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity. The free plan gives one demo project and 10 reports a day, no credit card needed.

What Semrush shows about rival adult sites

Semrush’s public page for porn.com shows 10.71 million visits in August 2026, a US rank of 3,701 and an Authority Score of 64. Paid plans add a rival's keywords, top pages and backlink profile, drawn from 28.8 billion keywords and 43 trillion backlinks across 142 country databases. Treat these as estimates and check them against your own Search Console.

Can Semrush Site Audit crawl behind an age gate?

Not on its own. SiteAuditBot offers no cookie or custom header setting, and Googlebot is no longer in its user-agent list, which now holds only SiteAuditBot desktop and mobile and OpenAI-Search. It can log in with a username and password for a protected area. To get it past an age gate, allow its IP range, 85.208.98.128/25, on your server, the same way Google asks adult sites to let Googlebot through.

Semrush refunds and cancellation

You can cancel at any time, but you still owe the committed term. Refunds are a one-time, 7-day guarantee on a first annual plan bought by credit card on semrush.com. Monthly plans are never refunded.
