SEOPress: what it does, what it costs
Unlimited sites for $149 a year, white-labelled, with nothing upselling you in the dashboard.
SEOPress at a glance
Every row is a verified field or an honest absence. A row is dropped rather than filled with an em dash, so the length of this table says how complete the record is.

What SEOPress is
SEOPress does what the other three do — titles, metadata, schema, sitemaps, redirects, 404 monitoring, WooCommerce and local SEO — and prices it differently. An unlimited-site licence is $149 a year and renews at the same price, where competitors charge that for three sites or run introductory rates that step up on renewal.
Two things make it the agency choice rather than merely the cheap choice. It is fully white label, so the plugin can be rebranded for a client who should not be thinking about which SEO plugin they have. And it does not advertise in your dashboard — no upsell notices, no feature nags — which on a site you hand to a client is worth more than a feature comparison suggests.
What you give up is ecosystem. Yoast and Rank Math have vastly more tutorials, forum answers, third-party integrations and developer familiarity, so when something is misconfigured the answer is harder to find. AI credits are also sold as separate packs rather than bundled.
What you can use it for
- Cover unlimited client sites on one licence at a fixed annual price
- White-label the plugin so a client never sees which SEO tool they are running
- Add schema, redirects, 404 monitoring and WooCommerce SEO without per-site fees
- Run a WordPress site's SEO without upsell notices in the admin
The features that matter for SEO
Each one says what it does and the SEO job it serves. A vendor feature list without that second half tells you nothing you could not read on their own site.
Unlimited-site licensing at a flat price
One $149 annual licence covers any number of sites, renewing at the same price.
The economics that decide this category for anyone past a handful of sites. There is no per-site step to manage and no renewal cliff.
White labelling
Rebrands the plugin so the client sees your name, or none.
On a site you maintain for someone else, the plugin should be invisible. This is the only one of the four that makes it so.
No dashboard advertising
Ships without upsell notices in the WordPress admin.
Sounds cosmetic; is not. A client's dashboard full of plugin promotions generates support questions you have to answer.
AI integration across several providers
Connects OpenAI, DeepSeek, Claude, Gemini or Mistral for metadata and alt-text generation.
Provider choice matters if you already hold credit with one, or if a client's policy rules one out.
Metered by separately purchased credit packs.
Schema, automatic and manual
Applies schema by rule across content types, or by hand on individual pages.
Rule-based schema is what makes markup survive on a site publishing weekly, rather than depending on someone remembering.
Google News and video XML sitemaps
Generates the specialised sitemaps alongside the standard one.
Included on the entry paid tier, where a competitor reserves it for a $399 plan.
Site audit and analytics in the dashboard
Runs on-page audits and surfaces analytics without leaving WordPress.
Puts the data next to the editing surface, which is where a non-specialist will actually see it.

Questions
Is SEOPress as good as Yoast or Rank Math?
On features, close enough that price and licensing decide it — schema, redirects, 404 monitoring, WooCommerce, local SEO and news and video sitemaps are all there from $49 a year. Where it loses is ecosystem: far fewer tutorials, forum answers and integrations, which matters when something is misconfigured and you need the answer quickly.
How much does SEOPress cost?
$49 a year for one site, $59 for five and $149 for unlimited sites, ex VAT, all renewing at the same price. Verified on 19 August 2026. AI features are metered through separately purchased credit packs.
Why does white labelling matter?
On a site you maintain for a client, the plugin should be invisible — they should not be reading plugin upsells in their dashboard or wondering which SEO tool they are paying for. SEOPress is the only one of the four major plugins that lets you rebrand it and ships without admin advertising.
