Moz Pro pricing in 2026 is $99 a month for Standard, $179 for Medium, and $299 for Large on monthly billing, or $79 / $143 / $239 billed yearly ($950 / $1,719 / $2,868 for year one). A $49 plan for one website sits off that comparison grid. Extra Pro seats are $49 a month. Moz API is a second product, from $20, and that is the only public path to Moz MCP, which the docs still mark beta and limit to account owners. Trends MCP is the cheaper Cursor stack for live multi-source trend data: Free is $0 for 100 requests, Starter is $19, and MCP ships on every plan. Keep Moz Pro for Domain Authority, rank tracking, and site crawl. A $99 Standard seat is the wrong meter for Google Search demand inside Claude.
What does Moz Pro cost on the public cards?
The live Moz Pro grid at moz.com/pricing, accessed 27 August 2026, prints three named cards plus a one-line $49 starter note. Monthly list prices are Standard $99, Medium $179, and Large $299. Yearly billing is advertised as a 20 percent save on the base plan. The same cards print $79 / $143 / $239 a month and first-year totals of $950, $1,719, and $2,868, with stated yearly savings of $238, $429, and $720.
| Plan | Monthly | Yearly (per month) | First-year total | Seats | Tracked sites | Tracked keywords | Keyword queries / mo | AI prompts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| One-site entry | $49 | Not on the comparison grid | Check checkout | Check checkout | 1 (page copy) | Not printed on the grid | Not printed on the grid | Not printed on the grid |
| Standard | $99 | $79 | $950 | 1 | 3 | 300 | 150 | 50 (GPT and Gemini) |
| Medium | $179 | $143 | $1,719 | 2 | 10 | 1,500 | 5,000 | 100 (GPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode) |
| Large | $299 | $239 | $2,868 | 3 | 25 | 3,000 | 15,000 | 200 (same three models) |
The cards also split crawl two ways. Standard says 400K pages crawled per month on the hero card and 100,000 pages crawled per week in the comparison table. Medium is 2M per month / 500,000 per week. Large is 5M / 1,250,000. Four times the weekly number equals the monthly card on each row, so treat those as the same crawl budget written twice, not two separate quotas.
Enterprise is a talk-to-sales row. Moz Local is a separate product. A banner on the same fetch read "Last chance to save up to 40% - ends today." That is a promo, not the list-price grid above.
Why Standard's 150 keyword queries a month matter more than the $99 sticker
Standard's research ceiling is 150 Keyword Queries per month, not the 300 tracked rankings on the same card. Rank tracking is a campaign budget. Keyword Explorer burns the query pool. A freelancer who opens Domain Overview 50 times and then runs Keyword Explorer on a handful of topics can empty that 150-query bucket before the month ends, while the 300 ranking slots still look unused.
Medium jumps that research pool to 5,000 queries and Large to 15,000. Tracked keywords move 300 → 1,500 → 3,000. Domain Overview lookups are 50 / 100 / 180. Backlink queries are 5,000 / 20,000 / 70,000. Rank Checker queries per day sit at 200 on Standard and Medium, then 500 on Large.
AI visibility is a second meter. Standard includes 1 AI Visibility Dashboard, 50 tracked prompts, 2 models (GPT and Gemini), weekly prompt tracking, and 2 AI Content Briefs per month. Medium adds Google AI Mode as a third model, 2 dashboards, 100 prompts, and 10 briefs. Large is 4 dashboards, 200 prompts, and 50 briefs. Extra dashboards are $20 each. Extra prompts are $50 per 100. Those two add-on SKUs sit on the comparison table, not in a hidden PDF.
Trends MCP does not sell Domain Authority or a site crawler. The matching job on that product is keyword demand across Google Search, YouTube, TikTok, Amazon, and live boards, metered as API or MCP requests. See SEO keyword research for how that demand layer sits next to a rank tracker.
Where the $49 one-site plan and add-on SKUs sit
The $49 plan is real, and it is not a fourth column in the Standard / Medium / Large table. The pricing page, accessed 27 August 2026, says the entry-level plan is $49/month for individuals managing a single website. A separate landing page at moz.com/moz-starter-direct repeats "Get started for $49" and claims an index of 1.25+ billion fresh keywords. Exact keyword, crawl, and query caps for that rung were not printed on the main comparison grid during this fetch. Confirm those limits on the starter checkout rather than from older Cyber Sale pages.
Extra seats are $49 per month on any Pro level, assigned after signup from Account & Billing and Manage Users (FAQ on the same pricing page). Other published add-on increments:
- $10/mo per extra Campaign
- $15/mo per extra 50,000 pages crawled
- $20/mo per extra 200 keywords
- $10/mo per extra 10,000 Keyword Queries
- $25/mo per extra 5 Keyword Lists
- $25/mo per extra 5 Link Tracking Lists
A Campaign, per that FAQ, tracks a site or URL plus three competitor websites, across up to four search engines per tracked keyword. Overages are marked as not included. Cancelation is allowed at any time. There is no student discount. A free Moz Community account still exists for limited MozBar, Keyword Explorer, and Link Explorer access.
Is Moz API included with a Moz Pro seat?
No paid Moz API access is bundled with Moz Pro. The API pricing FAQ at moz.com/products/api/pricing, accessed 27 August 2026, states there is no paid access included in the Moz Pro subscription, with free limited API access offered instead. The marketing page at moz.com/products/api prices that product "from $20."
| Moz API plan | Public monthly dollars | Rows per month | Overage (as printed) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 50 | None listed |
| Starter | $20 or $75 | 3,000 or 15,000 | $5 per +1,000 rows on the $75 rung |
| Growth | $125, $250, or $500 | 50,000 / 120,000 / 500,000 | $25 / $20 / $10 per +10,000 rows |
| Advanced | $2,000 | 4 million | $5 per +10,000 rows |
| Enterprise | Custom | Custom | Custom |
A "row" is Moz's unit for API cost. Some methods return one object and burn one row. Links and URL metrics can burn more, depending on limit and input count. Sample sizing on the same FAQ: Starter Medium (3,000 rows) is framed as URL metrics for 25 domains daily. Growth Medium (120,000 rows) is framed as up to 100,000 links against a target plus URL metrics for 500+ domains daily. Advanced at 4 million rows is framed as Link Intersect plus URL metrics with histories for 4,000+ domains daily.
Beta API methods require Starter Medium or above. The API marketing page also prints index scale: 45.5 trillion links across 1 billion domains, 1.25 billion monthly keyword volumes, 800 million keyword suggestions, 25 billion historical SERPs, and 440 million SERPs collected monthly. Wire format is JSON-RPC 2.0 to https://api.moz.com/jsonrpc with an x-moz-token header (Moz getting-started docs). That is a different meter from Moz Pro's Keyword Queries.
Does Moz Pro ship MCP, or only the Data API?
Moz Pro's pricing page does not list MCP. Moz MCP sits on the Data API (and a separate Local endpoint), in beta, for account owners with an eligible subscription. Official setup is cdn.moz.com/api/docs/guides/mcp-servers, accessed 27 August 2026.
Two hosts, not interchangeable:
- Moz Data: suggested name
moz-mcp-v1-data, URLhttps://api.moz.com/mcp/v1/data, requires a Moz Data API subscription - Moz Local: suggested name
moz-mcp-v1-local, URLhttps://api.moz.com/mcp/v1/local, requires a Moz Local subscription
Auth is OAuth inside Claude Desktop or ChatGPT Desktop, or Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_MOZ_TOKEN> from moz.com/api/dashboard. Claude Desktop can pick Moz Data or Moz Local from its connector directory. Claude Code's documented add for Data, then /mcp to finish OAuth:
claude mcp add moz-mcp-v1-data https://api.moz.com/mcp/v1/data \
--transport http \
--scope user
The same command accepts a Bearer header instead of OAuth. Access is limited to account owners; seated-user access is described as still expanding.
Trends MCP puts MCP on Free. Docs dated 27 August 2026 name two hosts that are also not interchangeable: https://api.trendsmcp.ai/mcp with a Bearer key, and https://www.trendsmcp.ai/mcp for Claude.ai Connectors (OAuth only). Cursor config from that page:
"trends-mcp": {
"url": "https://api.trendsmcp.ai/mcp",
"transport": "http",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" }
}
Paste that into ~/.cursor/mcp.json (Mac/Linux) or %USERPROFILE%\.cursor\mcp.json (Windows). Full client rows live on MCP server for Cursor.
HTML pricing the same day markets 35+ data sources on every Trends MCP plan, Free as top 10 trends and 12 months of history, paid plans as all trends and full history, a 7-day trial with the card taken at checkout and charged on day 8, and 9,216,574 API calls served at fetch time. pricing.md (dated 27 August 2026) lists Free $0 / 100 requests, Starter $19 / 1,000, Pro $49 / 5,000, Business $199 / 25,000, 20 percent off yearly, keyword alerts on Pro (50) and Business (250). docs.md the same day lists 15 keyword sources for get_growth / get_trends and 23 live get_top_trends feeds. The live MCP get_growth schema also names python, which the docs table omits. Keep those three counts separate. Failed calls do not count. One get_growth call is one request even when several windows ride along.
When Trends MCP is the cheaper Cursor stack
Trends MCP undercuts every Moz Pro card, and the Moz API Starter rung, when the job is live trend data in an AI client. Free is $0. Starter is $19. Moz Standard is $99 before extra seats at $49. Moz API Starter is $20 for 3,000 rows of DA, links, and keyword metrics, with MCP still in beta and gated to account owners.
| Product | Public starting price (27 August 2026) | MCP on the public page | What the money buys |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trends MCP | $0 Free; $19 Starter | Yes, every plan including Free | Keyword growth plus 23 live boards; REST + MCP |
| Moz Pro | $49 one-site; $99 Standard | Not listed | Rank tracking, crawl, Keyword Explorer, DA, AI prompts |
| Moz API | $0 / 50 rows; paid from $20 | Yes, beta, Data API owners | JSON-RPC rows for links, DA, keyword metrics |
| Semrush | SEO $139 monthly ($117.33 yearly) | Listed from Starter $199 | SEO suite plus AI visibility |
| Ahrefs | Lite $129 (MCP floor); Starter $29 | Lite and up | Web index, backlinks, Site Explorer |
Semrush and Ahrefs dollars in that table were verified on semrush.com/pricing and ahrefs.com/pricing on 27 August 2026. Longer breakdowns of those two ladders sit on Semrush pricing and Ahrefs pricing. Moz still wins if the brief is Domain Authority, a site crawl, or 300 to 3,000 tracked rankings. Trends MCP wins if the brief is get_growth on Google Search, YouTube, TikTok, or Amazon, or a live get_top_trends board, inside Cursor or Claude, without burning Moz Keyword Queries.
A two-tool stack is the honest buy for many SEO teams: Moz Standard or Medium for campaigns, Trends MCP Starter at $19 for demand windows Moz Pro does not meter. Paying Moz API $75 or $125 only so an LLM can call link metrics is a different job from paying Trends MCP $19 so the same LLM can call trend series. Those invoices should stay separate.
FAQ
Buyers asking Moz pricing questions in 2026 should price three SKUs, not one: Moz Pro for the SEO workspace, Moz API for rows and MCP, and Trends MCP for live trend data in an AI client.
How much does Moz Pro cost per month in 2026?
Public monthly cards on 27 August 2026 are $49 (one-site entry), $99 (Standard), $179 (Medium), and $299 (Large). Yearly billing on the three named cards is $79 / $143 / $239 a month, billed as $950 / $1,719 / $2,868 for year one. Extra seats are $49 a month. Confirm the $49 plan's keyword and crawl caps at checkout; they are not on the Standard / Medium / Large grid.
Does Moz Pro include MCP?
No. The Pro pricing page does not list MCP. Official Moz MCP docs put the Data endpoint at https://api.moz.com/mcp/v1/data and require a Moz Data API subscription. The server is in beta and limited to account owners. Trends MCP includes MCP on the $0 Free plan.
Is Moz API part of a Moz Pro subscription?
Paid API access is not included with Moz Pro. Moz API Free is 50 rows a month. Paid Starter starts at $20 for 3,000 rows. Growth starts at $125. Advanced is $2,000 for 4 million rows. Overages are printed on that API pricing page.
Can Trends MCP replace Moz Pro?
No for rank tracking, site crawl, Domain Authority, or MozBar. Yes for multi-source search and social demand inside an MCP client, at $0 to $199 instead of $99 to $299 plus API rows. Teams that need both should keep the Moz campaign and add Trends MCP for growth windows.
