Free vs Pro
Every feature in SEODesktop is available on the Free plan. The difference between Free and Pro is scale: how many results you can pull per run, and how many items you can queue into a batch operation.
What you get on Free
- €0 forever — no trial, no credit card
- Every endpoint and view unlocked
- Bring your own DataForSEO API key
- Native Windows & macOS installers with auto-updates
- Up to 50 results per run
- Up to 10 items per batch (keywords, URLs or domains)
Ideal for solo projects, freelance work, and light agency workloads.
What Pro adds
- €29 / year flat — one-time per year, no per-seat fees
- Unlimited results per run
- Unlimited batch size — process thousands of keywords or URLs at once
- Priority updates and new endpoint support
- Supports ongoing development of the app
Ideal for agencies, in-house marketing teams, and anyone running recurring large-batch audits.
When should I upgrade?
You'll hit the Free caps when you start doing any of these:
- Pulling full SERP pages (Google returns up to 100 results — Free stops at 50)
- Bulk keyword research across a real topic cluster (typically 100+ keywords)
- Competitor backlink audits (most sites have more than 50 referring domains)
- Site-wide audits on anything larger than a small landing page
If your workflow looks like "just check one keyword quickly", Free is plenty. If you're running weekly audits for clients, Pro pays for itself in the first month.
Upgrading
Click Get Pro on the pricing page or in the app's settings. Checkout is handled by Freemius and your license key is delivered by email. Paste it into Settings → License inside the app and the caps are lifted immediately.
You can keep using the app offline — license validation happens periodically, not on every query.
