If you mainly want rank tracking, yes — for a fraction of the price. It won't do keyword research, backlinks, or audits, so it's a fit when rank tracking is the job.
No import needed — add your domain and keywords, pick a country, and you're tracking in about a minute. There's a free plan to try first.
