Website Traffic Rank Checker - Similarweb Alternative, Bulk

What does Website Traffic Rank Checker do?

Input: a list of domains (or URLs, or e-mail addresses). Output: one row per domain with its worldwide rank tier (Top 1K ... Top 1M), its rank in each country, its top country and a 12-month trend. Price: $1.50 per 1,000 domains found; domains that are not listed, duplicates and invalid lines are free. No start fee.

Be clear about what the number is: the rank comes from Google's Chrome UX Report (CrUX) popularity buckets (Top 1K, 5K, 10K, 50K, 100K, 500K, 1M), measured on real Chrome users. It is not a visit count. If you need estimated monthly visits, bounce rate or traffic sources, you need a Similarweb-data Actor instead; this Actor is for ranking and filtering many domains by real popularity, per country, at a low price.

Quick start: paste domains into Domains, press Start (see "How to use it" below). Each row has:

• its global traffic rank: Top 1K, 5K, 10K, 50K, 100K, 500K or 1M websites worldwide, measured by real Chrome users,
• its rank in every country where it is popular (238 countries), with the top country first,
• a 12-month history of the global rank and a 6-month trend: rising, falling, stable, new or dropped out,
• optional rank in the countries you choose (rankIn.us, rankIn.de...) for filtering a lead list by market.

It covers 10.8 million domains: every site in the global top 1 million plus each country's own top list, so local businesses that are popular in one country are included too.

Real data, no scraping of Similarweb. The ranks come from Google's Chrome UX Report (CrUX): the origins that real Chrome users load most, published monthly by Google (CC BY 4.0) and collected per country in crux-top-lists. Nothing is read from Similarweb, so there are no logins, proxies, blocked requests or empty rows.

Real results (data month August 2026, checked 3 October 2026)

Domain	Global rank	Best country	Countries listed	6-month trend
shopify.com	Top 1K	Top 1K in United States	220	stable
bbc.co.uk	Top 1K	Top 1K in United Kingdom	223	stable
ikea.com	Top 1K	Top 1K in United States	204	stable
notion.com	Top 5K	Top 1K in Japan	197	rising (was Top 50K)
momoshop.com.tw	Top 5K	Top 1K in Taiwan	56	stable
zapier.com	Top 50K	Top 10K in United States	147	falling (was Top 10K)
apify.com	Top 100K	Top 50K in Germany	135	rising (was Top 500K)
notion.so	Top 500K	Top 50K in United States	103	falling (was Top 5K)
scrapingbee.com	Top 1M	Top 500K in United States	35	stable

The history makes moves like Notion's switch from notion.so to notion.com visible at a glance.

Use cases

• Lead qualification: rank a list of company websites (from Google Maps, a CRM or a trade-show list) by real popularity, and keep only the ones that matter in your market (countries: ["us"]).
• Market and competitor maps: see which sites lead in each country and which are growing or shrinking.
• Partnerships, affiliates and media buying: check the size of a publisher before you contact or pay them.
• Domain investing and due diligence: see whether a site's traffic is rising or falling over the last year.
• Data enrichment: run it on the website field of another Actor's dataset (Dataset ID input).

How much does it cost?

Event	Price	When
Domain checked	$1.50 / 1,000 domains	a domain found in at least one Chrome top list (global or country)

Free: domains that are not in any Chrome top list this month (found: false, usually sites with very little traffic), duplicates (checked once) and invalid lines. No start fee. Larger Apify plans get the usual volume discount (Silver 10%, Gold and above 20%).

Example: 10,000 domains = $15 at most, less when some are not listed. Speed: a list of 500 domains took 15 to 60 seconds (data cached or not), so 10,000 domains take a few minutes.

For comparison (Apify Store, 3 October 2026): Similarweb scraper Actors charge $0.002-$0.02 per site (the most used ones: $0.003 with 388 users, $0.002 with 362 users, $0.013 with 303 users in 30 days). They return Similarweb's own estimates (visits, bounce rate, traffic sources), which this Actor does not have; this Actor returns Chrome's measured rank tiers per country and a year of history.

Control your cost

• Before it starts, the run logs its worst-case cost (domains x price) and compares it with your maximum charge per run. Batches that would pass the maximum are not started: SUMMARY.status is LIMIT_REACHED and SUMMARY.notProcessed lists the domains that were not checked.
• Every row has charged: true or false; failed rows have an error that ends with "(not charged)".

How to use it

1. Paste domains, URLs or e-mail addresses into Domains, one per line, or pick a Dataset ID (and Dataset field) from another run.
2. Optional: list Countries to report (two-letter codes) to get rankIn.<code> columns.
3. Click Start. Domains (overview) shows the ranks and trend; Domains (all fields) adds the per-country list and the 12-month history.

Subdomains are checked as their registrable domain (shop.example.co.uk becomes example.co.uk; www., upper case, a trailing dot, ports and paths are ignored); the best origin of the domain counts (for example https://www.example.com). Non-Latin names such as münchen.de are checked in their xn-- form. The original line stays in input; spellings of the same domain are merged into one row (inputs lists them) and charged once. Entries can be separated by line breaks, spaces, semicolons or commas (commas inside a URL path are kept).

Country codes are two letters (us, de; uk is read as gb). A value that is not two letters (for example USA or Germany) is ignored and listed in SUMMARY.ignoredCountries; a code that none of the found domains is ranked in (a typo, or a country without a list) is listed in SUMMARY.countriesWithoutMatches and its rankIn value is null.

Input example

This is the input the form is prefilled with; a run with it takes about a minute and costs only cents:

{
    "domains": [
        "apify.com",
        "notion.so",
        "shopify.com",
        "bbc.co.uk",
        "tools.yukai.uk"
    ],
    "countries": [
        "us",
        "gb"
    ]
}

What the fields mean

• globalRank / rankIn.<cc> / countryRanks[].rank: the rank bucket. 10000 means "among the 10,000 most visited origins" (worldwide, or in that country). Smaller is more popular.
• topCountry: the country where the site is relatively most popular. Countries are ordered by the rank bucket compared with the size of that country's list, so "Top 50K in the United States" comes before "Top 10K in a country with only 5,000 listed sites".
• trend: global bucket now compared with 6 months earlier. new = entered the global top 1M; dropped = left it (it may still be listed in some countries).
• globalHistory: one entry per month for the last 12 months; rank: null = not in the global top 1M that month.

Use it from code

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/tidytools~website-traffic-rank/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"domains":["shopify.com","zapier.com","example.org"],"countries":["us","gb"]}'

With AI agents (MCP): connect Apify's MCP server (https://mcp.apify.com?tools=tidytools/website-traffic-rank) to Claude, Cursor or any MCP client and ask, for example, "Which of these 50 shops are in the US top 100K, and which are growing?". Minimal input: {"domains": ["shopify.com"]}.

Limitations

• A rank tier, not a number of visits. Chrome publishes buckets (Top 1K ... Top 1M), not visit counts, so two sites in "Top 10K" are not ordered against each other. There are no bounce rates, traffic sources or keywords.
• Chrome users only (desktop and Android), and only origins with enough traffic to be published; sites with very little traffic are not listed (and not charged).
• Monthly data: the current release is August 2026 (Google publishes each month in the second week of the next one). Every row says which month it is (dataMonth).
• Country lists are relative to each country: a Top 10K site in a small country can have fewer visitors than a Top 100K site in the United States.

FAQ

Does the Actor collect usage data? The Actor sends one anonymous usage counter per run (input type, item count range, outcome) to improve the tool; no URLs, content or account data.

Is this the number of visits? No. Chrome publishes rank buckets, not visit counts. Two sites in "Top 10K" cannot be ordered against each other, and the Actor never estimates visits. Use it to tell a Top 1K site from a Top 500K site, to compare countries and to see the 12-month direction.

What happens with a wrong or empty input? Lines that are not a domain (an IP address, "localhost", a bare "co.uk", a domain ending that does not exist such as example.c, text) get a row with errorType: "invalid_input" and charged: false; if nothing valid is left the run still ends normally (SUMMARY.status FAILED, nothing charged). A Dataset ID that cannot be read also gives one free error row, and any domains you pasted are still checked.

Why does foo.github.io or news.bbc.co.uk show the rank of github.io / bbc.co.uk? Ranks exist per registrable domain, so every subdomain gets the rank of its parent domain (a page of a site hosted on a shared domain such as github.io or blogspot.com is not ranked on its own). Several subdomains of one domain are one row and one charge.

Why is my site "not found"? It is not among the most visited origins of Chrome users in any country this month. It is reported with found: false and not charged.

Can I use the results commercially? Yes. The Chrome UX Report is published by Google under CC BY 4.0 (credit: "Chrome UX Report, Google").

How is this different from the Domain Authority Checker? That Actor measures links (who links to a site); this one measures visits by real users, per country and over time. Both are by TidyTools and accept the same inputs.
