Semrush is powerful. The question is how much of it you actually use.

Semrush is one of the biggest all-in-one marketing suites out there: SEO, ads, social media, content marketing, rank tracking, site audits and a huge feature set on top. For marketing teams that want everything in one place, it is a strong choice. That scope comes at a price: the entry plan starts at around $140 per month according to the vendor, and the free account is heavily limited at roughly 10 queries per day.

If you mainly use Semrush for keyword research, you are paying for a lot of features you never open. That is where Queris comes in: search volume as average estimates based on Google data, a 12-month trend, CPC, competition level and keyword difficulty, for up to 1,000 keywords per query. The free plan gives you 10 queries per month, up to 10,000 keywords, no credit card needed. Paid plans start at €15 per month including VAT.

When Queris is enough as a Semrush alternative

01

You mainly need keyword data

Search volume, 12-month trend, CPC, competition level and keyword difficulty for up to 1,000 keywords per query. That is exactly what Queris is built for, without the weight of a full suite.

02

You want predictable costs

Instead of an entry price of around $140 according to the vendor, Queris costs €15 to €49 per month including VAT. Unused queries on paid plans stay valid for 3 months and repeated queries are cached free for 30 days.

03

You research across markets

8 markets: DE, AT, CH, US, UK, FR, IT and ES, with country and language freely combinable. Organize your results in keyword lists with a team sharing link or export them as CSV.

When Semrush stays the better choice

01

You need rank tracking and site audits

Queris has no rank tracker and no onpage crawler. If you want to monitor rankings daily and find technical issues automatically, Semrush is the right tool.

02

Backlinks are central to your strategy

Semrush comes with its own backlink index. Queris does not have one. For serious link building analysis, a large suite is hard to replace.

03

Your team wants everything in one tool

SEO, ads, social and content marketing under one roof: that is exactly what Semrush is built for. If your team actually uses that breadth, the price can be worth it.

[ THE MATH ]

The yearly math

Semrush Pro costs about $1,680 per year. Queris Pro with 100 queries per month, up to 100,000 keywords, costs €348 per year. The suite is worth it if you actually use it as a suite. For keyword data alone, it is expensive.

[ FAQ ]

FAQ

Is Queris a free Semrush alternative?

For keyword research, yes. The free plan includes 10 queries per month with up to 1,000 keywords each, so up to 10,000 keywords, no credit card required. For comparison, the free Semrush account is heavily limited at around 10 queries per day, but it covers more feature areas.

How reliable is the search volume data in Queris?

Search volume is an estimate in every tool in this industry, including Semrush. Queris shows average estimates based on Google data, not numbers invented by an AI. You also get the 12-month trend, CPC and competition level to put the figures into context.

How much does Queris cost compared to Semrush?

Semrush starts at around $140 per month for the Pro plan, according to the vendor. Queris costs €15 for 25 queries, €29 for 100 or €49 for 250 queries per month, all including VAT. One query returns up to 1,000 keywords, and unused queries on paid plans stay valid for 3 months.

Does Queris offer rank tracking or backlink analysis?

No, and we say that openly. Queris has no rank tracking, no site audit crawler and no backlink index. The focus is keyword data: search volume, trend, CPC, competition and keyword difficulty. The domain analysis add-on shows rankings, competitors and a traffic estimate as a snapshot, but it does not replace daily rank tracking.

Can I use Queris inside ChatGPT or Claude?

Yes. Queris connects to ChatGPT and Claude, so you can pull keyword data straight into your AI chat. On top of that there are AI keyword suggestions with question keywords as an add-on and AI clustering on the Pro plan.
