Know the price before you spend it.
Find keywords worth ranking for, save them to a client project, and watch them move. Every paid button carries its own estimate, every charge lands on a ledger you can export, and nothing renews at $139 a month because you forgot it existed.
No card. 100 research credits on signup and 25 keyword slots to track with — both free forever.
This runs for real once you sign up. A failed call is never billed — the hold is released — and reloading a result for 24 hours costs nothing.

The meter
Every other tool tells you what it cost afterwards.
Cost transparency is not a feature we bolted on; it is the reason the product is shaped the way it is. Four consequences you can check for yourself.
- An estimate on the button
- The search button says '21 credits' before you press it. So does bulk refresh, so does an audit. There is no credit-spending action anywhere that does not.
- Reserved, then charged
- Credits are held before the vendor is called and settled to the real cost after. If a call fails you are not billed for it — the hold is released.
- Never billed for a glance
- Paid results are cached for 24 hours and never refetched on focus or reconnect. Reloading a tab of results costs nothing. Ever.
- The same meter for your agent
- The MCP server exposes the same tools against the same credits, and every response tells the agent what it spent and what is left.
How Nextrank works: research, save, track
Research
Start from a phrase you already say out loud.
Type what your customer would type. You get ideas with monthly volume, cost per click, a difficulty score with an honest 0–100 band, and what the searcher is actually trying to do.
- The cheapest sensible options are the defaults; the expensive ones say so inline
- Search parameters live in the URL, so a result set is shareable and refresh-safe
- Fifty markets and languages, with the ones that support full metrics flagged
How many keywords?
Real clickstream volumes
Measured rather than modelled. Doubles the cost of the search.
Save
Keep the twenty that matter, tag them, forget the rest.
A research run is a moment; a saved list is the thing you come back to. Tag by client, by page, by quarter — then filter, bulk-refresh the metrics, or export the lot as CSV.
- One keyword entity: saving, tagging and tracking all point at the same row
- Market is part of a keyword's identity — the same phrase in two countries is two rows
- Bulk refresh shows its estimate before it charges, like everything else

Track
Then find out whether any of it worked.
Point a tracker at a domain, add the keywords, pick weekly or daily. It runs whether or not anyone is logged in, keeps the history, and emails the owners when things move — and never touches your credits, because tracking runs on your keyword slots.
- Mobile and desktop, weekly or daily, priced in keyword slots not credits
- Deltas against the previous completed run, and the best position ever recorded
- A crashed run resumes rather than repeating the keywords it already checked

Pricing
A plan for the tracking. Credits for the research.
The plan buys keyword slots, projects, seats and agent access — rank tracking within your slots never costs credits. Credits cover keyword research, audits and agent calls; every one you spend is on a ledger you can export.
