ReachKit vs Rank Math
Rank Math is two things: a free SEO Analyzer that checks any URL, and a WordPress plugin that brings those checks into your editor. It is very good at showing what a page is missing while you write it. ReachKit starts from another question: which searches do buyers in your market make, and who shows up instead of you. Its free scan lists your technical issues too, and the paid plan writes up to 7 pages a week, new or updated, to close the gap.
What Rank Math does well
The free SEO Analyzer takes a URL and reports what the page does well and where it falls short. You can download the report as a PDF, print it or share it. The page itself says the plugin gives more advanced reports inside WordPress.
The free plugin is a real plugin, not a trial. Rank Math's pricing page lists an analysis tool with 30+ tests, Google Search Console integration, 18 schema types, a 404 monitor, automated image SEO, a keyword rank tracker and a one-click import from Yoast SEO. The checks sit beside the post, so you fix a missing meta description while you write it.
The paid plans are cheap for what they hold. On 2026-10-15 PRO was €7.99 a month billed annually, renewing at €8.99, with Business at €24.99 and Agency at €54.99 a month, all billed annually and before VAT.
What ReachKit does instead
ReachKit works on any site, WordPress or not. The free scan needs no account and takes about a minute. It runs 12 Google searches buyers in your market make, checks whether AI answers mention or link you, and shows the competitors who appear instead. It also lists technical issues across up to 100 pages, each with a free fix.
For a single page, the free tools at reachkit.app/tools check the title, meta description, main heading, canonical, structured data and share tags, and show how the page looks in a Google result. ReachKit has no editor plugin, so it will not sit beside you while you write.
The paid plan is €49 a month. ReachKit writes up to 7 pages a week, new or updated, that go live on a subdomain it hosts or on your WordPress. On WordPress it also rewrites missing page titles and meta descriptions for you.
