FreelanceLeads.ioSEMrush

SEMrush is the enterprise SEO + PPC research suite — keyword research, competitive intelligence, PPC analysis, content marketing, social. FreelanceLeads.io overlaps on SEO research at the per-domain level, but our product is finding businesses to PITCH, not analyzing competitors at depth.

Entry-tier monthly pricing

SEMrush$129/mo
FreelanceLeads.io$13.99/mo

Same workflow, different price tag. Bars scaled to SEMrush's entry-tier list price.

Where SEMrush wins

  • PPC / paid-search intelligence — SEMrush's competitor PPC research is best-in-class. We don't try.
  • Keyword Magic Tool — depth + filtering is enterprise-grade.
  • Position tracking with custom locations — more granular than ours.
  • Content marketing toolkit — topic research, content audits, etc.

Where we win

  • Lead discovery loop. SEMrush is a research tool — it tells you about a domain you already named.
  • Cold-email send + AI pitches.
  • Pipeline tracking + proposals. SEMrush ends at the export; we start at the import.
  • $13.99/mo for the workflow vs $129/mo for the research-only equivalent.

Feature-by-feature.

A dash means a feature isn't a focus — not that it doesn't exist at all. We don't fake red-Xes against SEMrush.
