A Semrush alternative for founders
Semrush is an all-in-one marketing suite, from $139 a month. Most founders with a handful of products use a fraction of it. Here’s a cheaper stack that also tells you which pages make money.
What most founders actually use Semrush for
“Am I ranking?”
Search Console answers this exactly, for free, per query and page.
“Who links to me?”
Ahrefs Webmaster Tools answers it for free on verified sites.
“Is SEO paying?”
Neither suite answers this. Glow joins clicks, signups and Stripe revenue per product and channel.
Keep Semrush if you run paid search and content at scale, need competitor and keyword research every week, or report SEO to clients. Glow can sit next to it and show the revenue side.

Can Glow track keyword rankings?
Glow uses your Search Console data: real positions and clicks for the queries you already appear for. It doesn’t run a rank tracker for keywords you don’t rank for yet.
