With SEOZoom pricing, the total monthly cost is the fee plus the hours per article multiplied by your hourly rate. Those hours are the time you spend analyzing keywords, writing, translating and publishing each article. For a freelancer who runs the site alone, those hours almost always weigh more than the subscription.
SEOZoom is an Italian suite for SEO, GEO and visibility in AI answers, developed by SEO CUBE S.R.L. Here you'll find where to check the plans, a formula with the items to fill in and an example with hypothetical numbers to replace with your own.
Key takeaways
- Before comparing two plans, check the official page for how many sites, keywords and credits they include: if you manage a single site, the entry plan may be enough and the rest is wasted spend.
- Calculate the monthly cost as the fee plus hours per article multiplied by your hourly rate. If the result is many times the fee, the real saving is in the hours, not in the plan.
- Choose a data tool if you already write and publish methodically yourself. Choose a platform that does the work if your bottleneck is producing more articles in several languages every month.
- With automated production the hours don't drop to zero: review and approval remain. Measure how many minutes you need per article and put them in the formula.
What SEOZoom is and who it's for
SEOZoom is Italian software that collects data on rankings, keywords, competitors and, more recently, visibility in AI-generated answers. It's for people who have to decide what to write and track the results: freelancers, consultants, in-house marketers and agencies with sites to follow.
- You connect or enter the domain you want to track.
- You monitor keywords and check where you stand against competitors.
- You look for opportunities: topics with search volume, pages to improve, gaps.
- You bring the data into your editorial plan and write the content, or have it written, outside the tool.
Each plan has its own limits, and the limits decide the real cost. According to the SEOZoom pricing page, the Essential plan covers 1 site, 100 monitored keywords and 100 included credits.
SEOZoom pricing: where to read the current plans
The only source to rely on for fees, annual discounts and limits is the SEOZoom pricing page. We don't list fee figures here: blogs that copy them go out of date quickly, and a wrong price throws off the whole formula that follows.
- the monthly and annual fee, and whether the price is shown with or without tax;
- the number of sites you can manage in the plan;
- the monitored keywords;
- the included credits and what they're used for (searches, AI features);
- the free trial terms, if there are any.
If you pay annually, divide the total by 12 before entering it in the formula. That way the fee stays comparable with other tools on a monthly basis.
Why the fee is not the cost of SEO
The fee pays for access to data, not for producing an article that can rank. Even with the best plan, someone has to pick the topic, read the results, write the text, adapt it to the other languages and publish it on the site. That someone is you, and your time has a price.
A simple check confirms it: take the last three articles you published and note the real hours, from choosing the keyword to clicking "publish". To analyze the SERP for each keyword you still have to read the top results and decide which page to create, and that choice remains your work even with good data; the same goes for the SEO text, which has to be checked before, during and after drafting, and every check adds minutes to the hours you log.
The total-cost formula: which items to fill in
Each item is a number you already know or can measure in about a week.
Monthly cost = fee + N × (analysis hours + writing hours + translation hours × extra languages + publishing hours) × hourly rate
| Item | What you enter | How to get it |
|---|---|---|
| Fee | Monthly price of the plan (annual divided by 12) | Official pricing page |
| N | Articles published per month | Your editorial calendar |
| Analysis hours | Keywords, SERP, choice of angle | Stopwatch on your last 3 articles |
| Writing hours | Draft, revision, sources, titles | Same |
| Translation hours | For each extra language, native adaptation | Same, per language |
| Publishing hours | Layout, images, meta, CMS, social | Same |
| Hourly rate | What an hour of your time is worth | Your client rate or your internal hourly cost |
If you're a consultant who sells hours, the rate is your list price. If you work on your own site, use what you would pay a collaborator for the same hour.
Example: what does one month cost with hypothetical numbers?
A consultant who publishes 4 articles a month in 2 languages, with an hour valued at $40, spends about $1,160 of time plus the fee. The numbers are made up for the example: replace them with your own.
| Item (per article) | Hypothetical hours |
|---|---|
| Keyword and SERP analysis | 1.5 |
| Writing in the main language | 3 |
| Adaptation into the second language | 2 |
| Publishing and meta | 0.75 |
| Total | 7.25 |
Calculation: 7.25 hours × 4 articles = 29 hours. 29 hours × $40 = $1,160.
Here's the real comparison: if the fee is $60, it's less than 5% of the total.
What changes in the calculation if content and publishing are automated
With UPGeoSEO, the analysis, writing, translation and publishing items move from your calendar to the platform. The platform analyzes the site, plans the keyword calendar, writes native multilingual content and publishes it on the CMS, WordPress for example.
There are two plans, priced in dollars: Solo audit starts at $9 (monthly or one-time), and the full Autopilot costs $40 a month. Check the plan page for how much content is included before entering the number N in your calculation.
Redo the example with a cautious assumption: 20 minutes of review per article. Four articles come to about 1.3 hours, a little over $50 of time. From the 29 hours of the example you go down to a little over one.
The difference is also in the quality of the languages. The text is written from scratch in each market, not translated from a base version, and the platform learns your brand's voice.
If you manage several sites, the agency feature has the answer: GEO and SEO checks per client, visibility in Google AI Mode and AI Overview, connection to Bing Webmaster Tools and publishing for up to 10 sites.
Data tool or a platform that does the work: how to choose
Choose a data tool like SEOZoom if you already write and publish with a method and what you lack is the analytical side: rankings, competitors, opportunities. Choose a platform that does the work if your problem is producing enough content every month, in several languages, without hiring local writers.
| Data tool (SEOZoom) | Platform that does the work (UPGeoSEO) | |
|---|---|---|
| What it gives you | Data, monitoring, opportunities | Audit, calendar, articles written and published |
| Who writes | You or your writers | The platform, you approve |
| Multilingual | You handle it | Native writing per market |
| Your time | High on the operational phases | Concentrated on review |
| Right if | You already have a process and want deep data | You want to grow without building a team |
They aren't mutually exclusive choices. You can keep a data tool for analysis and use a platform for production.
Frequently asked questions
Does SEOZoom have a free trial and discounts for annual payment?
If the trial exists, use it for a focused test: monitor your site's keywords and check that the plan's limits are enough.
Do analysis hours drop to zero if I use a data tool?
No, they shrink. The tool brings you the data in less time. A good starting point is to time only the analysis phase on one article, with and without the tool, and enter the real difference in the formula instead of an estimate.
Where do you start today to work out your own numbers?
With UPGeoSEO you can start from the $9 Solo audit: it analyzes your site and shows you what to publish, so you can compare your real calculation with that of automated production.
