Is Woodander a full replacement for Semrush?
For site checks, rank tracking, uptime and client reports, yes for most small sites and agencies. For deep competitor research across the whole web, Semrush’s database is bigger.
How much cheaper is it?
Starter is €29 a month, and Agency is €99 for 10 sites and 10 seats, VAT included. Semrush starts above $100 a month for one user.
Can I import my Semrush projects?
There is no import yet. Adding a site takes a minute: paste the address and the first check runs at once.
Does Woodander have keyword research?
Yes, keyword ideas with volumes come with every paid plan, with a daily limit. It is built for finding what to target next, not for mining a whole market.
Can my AI assistant use it?
Yes. Connect Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor to the Woodander MCP and ask about your traffic, rankings and audits. Changes wait for your approval.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. You keep access until the end of the period you paid for.
