Semrush pricing in 2026: every plan, and what it has cost since July
$139/mo to start. Read from Semrush’s own pricing page in US dollars, with every earlier reading we hold kept on the page.
The short answer
Semrush starts at $139 a month for the SEO plan on month-to-month billing, or $117.33 a month if you pay for a year ($1,407.96 up front). Three paid tiers carry a published price, from $139 to $299 a month. Advanced, which was $549 a month on 4 September 2026, now reads Custom, and Enterprise is also priced on request. A free account allows one demo project and ten reports a day. You can buy a single month and stop, which puts Semrush in the minority of the 30 tools we price-check.

Price change history
The month-to-month headline moved from $139.95 to $139 between 20 July and 29 August 2026. The annual rate did not move. A separate change had already happened before our log begins: the Pro tier at $149.95 was retired, and it survived in third-party reviews long after Semrush stopped selling it. Between 4 September and 5 November 2026 Semrush removed the published price from Advanced, which had read $549 a month. It now says Custom and asks you to request a demo. The three lower paid tiers did not move.

What the pricing page does not tell you
The annual saving, the AI-search paywall and the per-seat charge are what catch people out here.
- The annual saving is real but modest. Twelve months of SEO at $117.33 is $1,407.96 against $1,668 paid monthly, a saving of $260.04, or 15.6 percent.
- Every AI-search feature sits above the base SEO plan. Prompt tracking starts on Starter at $199 a month.
- Extra seats are charged from $45 a month each, so a two-person team on the SEO plan starts at $184 a month, not $139.
How this page is maintained
How we read these prices. Every figure on this page was read from Semrush’s own pricing page on 5 November 2026. The reading was taken from a United States connection, so the currency is US dollars. Several vendors in this category price by country. That is the most common reason two honest reviews quote different numbers for the same plan.
We keep every reading we have ever taken, with its date, in the history table above. We re-read this page monthly and record what we find whether or not anything moved. No figure here is copied from another review.
