n8nTwo numbers decide this one, and neither is on Serpstat’s pricing page in the form you need.
The first is that the friendly badge you see is the annual rate. Individual is $69 a month paid monthly, or $600 for a year, which is where the sub-$50 figure comes from. Team is $129 monthly or $1,200 annually.
The second is that MCP and API access start on Team. If the reason you are reading a comparison page is that you want SEO data inside your agent, Serpstat’s entry price for that is $129 a month. ContextBolt’s is $35, with the endpoint included.
That is because the agent is not an add-on here. It is the product, and everything below runs through it.
What you actually get for the $35
Keyword research, SERP and competitor analysis, backlink data, page audits, and AI visibility research. Search Console connects for free and gets daily snapshots, so your own performance sits alongside the competitive research rather than in a different tab.
All of it runs inside Claude, Cursor or Codex. That is the part that changes the day. You ask why a page is underperforming, get the queries, the competing pages and the audit, and then ask the same conversation to draft the fix without exporting anything.
Successful lookups save to your SEO Board automatically, so the evidence is still there two weeks later when you have forgotten why you made the change.
AI answers are in the price
Serpstat is a conventional SEO suite and does not sell a comparable AI-answer research product.
ContextBolt includes historical AI visibility across Google AI and ChatGPT, and live per-question checks in ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity. Ask the buying question your customers ask, read the answer, see which sources it cited, then research those pages with the same tools.
That matters more every quarter. Position four is worth less when the answer above the results already told the reader what to do.
Where Serpstat still fits
Scheduled project tracking, larger recurring audits, and team seats with shared projects and reporting. If you are an agency with clients expecting a report on a schedule, that is a genuine dependency and it is what the Team plan is for.
It is not the job of one person deciding what a page should say. For that, ContextBolt checks when you ask, keeps daily Search Console snapshots of your own site, audits the 50 pages you are changing, and drafts the change in the same conversation. If reporting is contractual, run both. If it is not, start here at $35.
What $35 buys, precisely
1,000 credits a month. Different tools cost different amounts, so it is not 1,000 identical lookups. Site audits charge per page audited, up to 50 per run. Your AI app bills separately for its own usage. The SEO tool pricing guide explains how the units differ across the market, because that is where most comparisons quietly mislead.
Try it on one page
Take a page you already know underperforms, connect Search Console, and ask why.
If you get to a change you would publish today, you have tested the part that matters. Start the 7-day trial with 100 credits. A card is required, and it becomes $35 a month unless you cancel before the trial ends.
