ReachKit vs Rank Math

Rank Math is two things: a free SEO Analyzer that checks any URL, and a WordPress plugin that brings those checks into your editor. It is very good at showing what a page is missing while you write it. ReachKit starts from another question: which searches do buyers in your market make, and who shows up instead of you. Its free scan lists your technical issues too, and the paid plan writes up to 7 pages a week, new or updated, to close the gap.

What Rank Math does well

The free SEO Analyzer takes a URL and reports what the page does well and where it falls short. You can download the report as a PDF, print it or share it. The page itself says the plugin gives more advanced reports inside WordPress.

The free plugin is a real plugin, not a trial. Rank Math's pricing page lists an analysis tool with 30+ tests, Google Search Console integration, 18 schema types, a 404 monitor, automated image SEO, a keyword rank tracker and a one-click import from Yoast SEO. The checks sit beside the post, so you fix a missing meta description while you write it.

The paid plans are cheap for what they hold. On 2026-10-15 PRO was €7.99 a month billed annually, renewing at €8.99, with Business at €24.99 and Agency at €54.99 a month, all billed annually and before VAT.

What ReachKit does instead

Every Monday we check what your buyers search and ask AI. Then up to 7 pages a week go live on your site by themselves.

Your part: about 10 minutes, once.
