SEMrush makes a dissapointing turn for the worse with pricing and user interface
Reviewed on 25/8/2023

I've long been a user of SEMrush, valuing its suite of tools and comprehensive offerings, but recent developments have severely tarnished its reputation in my eyes. Firstly, the abrupt decision to escalate their monthly pricing from a manageable $69/month to a staggering $120/month with only a month's warning came as a real shock. The shakedown for fees is significant and troubling for long-term users with planned budgets around the initial rates. The sting of this price hike was exacerbated when SEMrush decided to monetize what was once a free offering – the Social Media Poster. This fundamental/clunky tool, now costing users $20/month, used to be a free feature, which makes the change feel like a rug pull.Further lowering the product's user experience is the user interface with an array of premium features. This is unnecessary clutter, overwhelms the tool, and complicates staff training. It's frustrating to sift through elements not part of our basic plan. No one wants to see features that they can't use.The platform's UX/UI is a throwback to the 1990s (i.e., tons of vertical and horizontal nav tabs, tags, breadcrumbs, etc. They should upgrade the front-end framework to something more modern and intuitive.Also, they call and email weekly to push users to upgrade. We started with $50/month& we'll never pay for the $250/month Guru plan. Please take us off your weekly dial-for-dollars calls. :)
Pros
The best thing about the service was the price increase of 110% in one month. The user interface is sloppy and difficult to navigate, but it did the job well. It was worth the hassle for around $50/month, but I strongly recommend other options for the $140/month (basic plan + social media poster).
Cons
The tool's UI is cluttered and dated and has many premium features that aren't useable with my current plan. No one wants to see features that aren't available unless you pay $250/month (we were paying $69/month before the latest price hike to $120/month). The site doesn't work with modern browsers like the Brave web browser (multiple page refreshes required).
Reasons for Choosing Semrush
Price was cheaper at the time. No longer the case, SEMrush is massively overpriced for the value.Switched From
Moz ProReasons for Switching to Semrush
Because it used to be a lot cheaper. Not the case anymore. They broke user trust completely by starting to charge for the Social Media Poster (used to be free) and more than doubling the monthly rate that we used to pay when we initially subscribed to the tool- Industry: Marketing & Advertising

It's excellent for SEO experts and agencies, with great tools for researching keywords, competitors, backlinks, local SEO, reporting, and more. I always feel like there is more to it that I'm missing! It's a bit pricey for someone just starting out as an SEO freelancer though.
Pros
It has a huge range of useful SEO tools, and can easily be used for handling many clients.
Cons
It's very expensive! I'm paying for the Guru plan plus three additional users, it really adds up.

It's a classic SEO tool and a must-have for every SEO consultant. It's perfect for quickly analyzing competitor websites as well as your own. It's a very powerful tool if you know how to use it and what to look for. In my opinion, it's only worthwhile in the hands of SEO and marketing experts.
I would love it to be a bit cheaper, but it's worth the price.
Pros
As an SEO consultant, what I like the most about SEMRush is that it includes almost all the features I need on a daily basis: it allows me to analyze my website and my competitors' websites at a glance, it helps me keep track of the backlinks I have, and it enables me to conduct quick SEO audits. Additionally, it's very user-friendly.
Cons
In my opinion, there are two cons of SemRush:
First of all, sometimes there are more-specific tools for some taks. For example: I prefer to use SERPROBOT for Keyword Tracking, Ahrefs for Backlinking/Outreach campaigns and Keyword Planner from Google Ads for keyword research.
Lastly, the problem with SemRush is that it's quite pricy. The Guru plan is around 250USD.

Moz ProReasons for Choosing Semrush
I tested both. While SemRush is better for SEO On Page and analyzing competitors, Ahrefs is better for backlinking and outreach campaigns. I finally took both of them 😅.Switched From

We are solving so many problems inside our marketing team thanks to Semrush. There is always something to do with the tool, whether it will be about improving our SEO, correcting technical mistakes, building our content strategy thanks to Topic Research or managing our social media platforms from the Social Media poster.
Pros
Overall, Semrush is really easy to use, whether we are talking about SEO, Content or Social Media toolsets. The diversity of features and the efficiency of each is a real plus since it can be used for many business cases and efficiently replace additional products in your toolset.
Cons
The only hiccup might be the accuracy of the SEO numbers, there are mostly estimations and even if you can base your SEO strategy on it, you have to be careful not to take it as the ultimate truth.

Pretty bad customer support and a very bad mouthing account executive named [sensitive content hidden] .
Pros
Good tool and easy to use. Because of the problems i am thinking about looking for another tool.
Cons
Observe other websites is not working well. Customer support is terrible. I am customer for 3 years and started at the 7th of August. Suddenly they stopped my account at the 6th of July. When i submit this problem to [sensitive content hidden] , my 'account executive', she did not help me. "She couldn't look back" for 3 years. She gave me a headache every mail she sent. In the end we were on a call and the bad mouthing just continued. In the end customer support had two ladies who found the problem. First said: ok we extend 3 weeks. Second said: till the 7th of August. Result: a downgraded account. SEMrush doesn't call me or send me a message. Only thing they care about is extending the product. But they don't care about their customers.

Fabulous for many years. Have used the software for over a decade. The data it reports on just needs to be right and I will return.
Pros
SEO tools in the main are exceptional - especially SEO auditing, keyword tracking, backlink profiling and general overview dashboards. Excellent at shaping organic strategy and analysing the organic competitive landscape.
Cons
A huge negative that the PPC data Semrush provides is totally flawed. Not accurate for my own client base that I know the figures for, so can't be trusted to pull up accurate numbers for any other company. That and the fact it is the most expensive on the market makes it no longer cost justifiable when other tools can do what Semrush can do.
