Pricing

$5 per 1,000 domain reports on the free plan, $3 on Starter and down to $2.50 on Scale+ (competitors included). "Top websites" without full reports: $1 per 1,000 rows. Domains without a Semrush page and errors are not charged.

Good to know

• Data comes from Semrush's free public "Website traffic" pages, updated monthly (dataMonth).
• Semrush only publishes pages for sites with enough traffic: small sites return status: "not_found" (free). For a subdomain without its own page (e.g. docs.google.com), the main domain is used and a note says so.
• Estimates are Semrush's, not the site's own analytics.
