What does WebCEO cost, and how does its Agency Unlimited plan bill per project?

Summary

WebCEO's Solo, Startup and Corporate plans cost $36, $119 and $299 a month and step up in projects, keywords, teammates and audited pages. Agency Unlimited has a $99 base fee, below Startup and Corporate but above Solo, and WebCEO adds $2 per project, $5 per extra teammate and $4 per 1,000 rank queries on top. For ten sites and three extra teammates, Agency Unlimited is $134 a month before rank queries and other usage, against $299 on Corporate.

What the fixed plans include

WebCEO's pricing page says Startup and Corporate have fixed monthly fees. Solo is listed at $36 a month with a three-month minimum, which comes to $108 up front. The annual-billing rates are shown separately in the table; compare the rate for your plan.

PlanMonthly priceBilled yearly, per monthProjects and keywords
Solo$36$321 project, 100 keywords
Startup$119$995 projects, 750 keywords
Corporate$299$25130 projects, 2,400 keywords
Agency Unlimited$99 plus usage$83 plus usageUnlimited, at $2 per project

Total audit caps are 1,000 pages on Solo, 5,000 on Startup and 150,000 on Corporate. The per-project caps are 1,000 on Solo and Startup and 5,000 on Corporate.

Solo covers one user. Startup lists 5 teammates and Corporate lists 10. One site with up to 100 keywords fits Solo at $36 a month; up to five sites and 750 keywords fit Startup at $119.

WebCEO counts one keyword tracked across different engines, locations or devices as several keywords. Two locations on mobile and desktop turn one phrase into four. The website and project limits guide compares how other vendors count sites.

How Agency Unlimited is billed

WebCEO says Agency Unlimited's monthly cost may vary with projects, users and rank queries. The base fee is $99 a month, or $83 a month billed yearly. On top of that:

  • Each project costs $2 a month.
  • Each added teammate costs $5 a month, with the first month free. Ask WebCEO how that waiver applies to your account; the example below excludes it.
  • Rank queries cost $4 per 1,000.
  • White-label tools on your own domain cost $40 a month.

A rank query is one keyword, times one location, times one device, times the number of results pages scanned, times the scans per month. Daily scanning multiplies the count much faster than weekly scanning. Agency Unlimited tracks the top 100 results, while the fixed plans track the top 50.

Projects and keywords have no cap on Agency Unlimited. Audits and backlink analysis stop at 50,000 pages and 50,000 backlinks per project.

How two plans compare for ten client sites

Startup stops at five projects, so Corporate is the fixed plan that covers ten. Corporate includes 10 extra teammates, so it covers three added colleagues for $299 a month. The comparison assumes Corporate's 2,400 counted keywords and other limits cover the same work.

On Agency Unlimited, ten projects add $20 and three extra teammates add $15 to the $99 base. That's $99 plus $20 plus $15, or $134 a month before rank queries. That charges three added teammates at $5 each, with no first-month waiver. Backlinks cost another $0.80 per 1,000 found; white-label tools and other metered features can also add charges.

With other usage charges set to zero, the $165 gap pays for 41,250 rank queries at $4 per 1,000. Below that, Agency Unlimited costs less in this example. Other usage lowers that break-even count, and Corporate is an alternative only if its limits and update schedule fit.

As a model, not a quoted price, take yearly billing and assume the per-project and per-user charges stay the same. Then the comparison is $251 against $83 plus $20 plus $15, or $118. With other usage charges set to zero, the $133 difference pays for 33,250 rank queries.

For a different mix of agency work, compare options in the suite vs specialist tools guide and the SEO agency software guide. Include usage fees in /seo-tools-cost-calculator/ when comparing totals.
