For cost-conscious teams
Self-host free and pay your SERP provider directly.
Connect DataForSEO or SerpAPI and let check volume - not a bundled software tier - determine your data cost.
The problem
Best fit when check volume is high enough that bundled per-keyword pricing changes what you can afford to measure. Bisibility keeps the app workflow separate from provider billing so spend follows the keywords, markets, devices, and cadence you choose.
What you control
Direct provider billing
Use your own DataForSEO or SerpAPI account and keep the SERP invoice outside the app subscription.
Budget-aware scheduling
Model and cap monthly provider spend before scheduled checks create surprise volume.
Transparent check math
Every check is keyword x location x device x run, which makes volume easy to explain.
Owned history
Store the resulting rank history in Postgres you control instead of another closed dashboard.
How it works
1
Estimate the monthly check volume
Use the calculator to model keywords, markets, devices, and cadence before rollout.
2
Connect provider credentials
Add your provider key, test the connection, and keep the provider account under your team.
3
Review spend as rank history grows
Use provider-reported cost fields and budget caps to keep scheduled checks inside policy.
Current scope and limits
- The calculator estimates provider spend, not a future managed cloud subscription.
- Provider price sheets can change; Bisibility records provider-reported spend after checks run.
- Opt-in Google Search Console and GA4 connections are shipped (self-hosted). GA4 and GSC conversion attribution is planned.

Frequently asked questions
What does bring-your-own-keys rank tracking mean?
It means Bisibility does not bundle a hidden SERP account. You connect your own provider key, and provider billing stays direct.
Can I estimate provider spend before tracking?
Yes. The rank tracking cost calculator models checks as keywords multiplied by locations, devices, and run frequency.
Does tracking competitors cost extra?
Competitor positions can be read from the same SERP snapshot as your own rank check, so they do not require extra provider checks.
