Why people leave the Semrush toolkit
The toolkit costs $99 a month for one seat. Each extra seat needs its own $99 license, and limits are not shared. So a team of 4 pays $396 a month. It includes 25 tracked prompts, and 50 more cost $60 a month. Prompt tracking covers AI Overviews, AI Mode and ChatGPT only.
What Semrush does well
Semrush tracks prompts daily. It captures real consumer responses, not API answers. Its prompt research draws on a dataset of over 317 million prompts. It covers AI Overviews and AI Mode, and it sits inside a full SEO suite.
