Pourquoi les équipes quittent Semrush
No per-seat tax
Semrush Pro is a single-seat plan; extra users cost $45/mo (Pro), $80 (Guru), or $100 (Business) each. A 3-person Guru team is really $409/mo. Outerank Agency at $399 includes 10 team + client seats — flat, with extra seats just $35 each.
AI search isn't locked behind a $299 tier
Semrush's AI visibility (AI share-of-voice, brand sentiment, audience insights) lives on Pro+ at $299/mo. Outerank includes multi-engine citation tracking, llms.txt, and AI snippet preview in Pro at $89.
All-inclusive Agency, no add-on roulette
Semrush charges extra for: white-label reports, Lead Gen Tool, Local SEO, additional users, Trend data. Outerank Agency bundles sub-accounts, white-label, scheduled reports, bulk ops, and API access at one price.

Là où Semrush nous bat encore aujourd'hui
Semrush has a 25-billion-keyword database, a deeper technical audit (140+ checks vs our 100+), and a real PPC/advertising research suite we deliberately don't compete on. If your day-to-day involves paid-search keyword research alongside SEO, Semrush is the right tool. If you're focused purely on organic SEO + AI search + content + outreach, Outerank covers the workflow for less than a third of a 3-person Semrush Guru team.
Pick Outerank if you're a small agency that's tired of multiplying $89 by every seat — or a founder who wants AI-search optimization without paying for an enterprise PPC suite.
