What RankIQ costs now that it sells as Aided, and the four dollar figures its home page prints for one purchase

RankIQ no longer sells as a product on its own. Read on 29 October 2026, rankiq.com states "RankIQ Has Evolved into Aided" and prints four dollar figures for what is now a single purchase. Two of its claims, quoted as they appear, are "Today's Special: Get RankIQ ($99) + Aided's Unlimited Plan ($299) for $49" and "Get Started for Just $49 (50% Off $99 Rate)", and a third offers the same 49 as 87 per cent off 398. The only one of those figures with a billing period attached to it anywhere we could read is the 299, and it sits on a second RankIQ page which states "Active RankIQ Subscribers Now Get Aided's $299/month Unlimited Plan for Free". So the Aided plan is a monthly subscription at USD 299 list, RankIQ carries a list price of USD 99 inside those claims, and the 49 is the current offer price with no period printed beside it.

Google Keyword Planner reports 10 searches a month in Singapore for this phrasing, read on 26 October 2026 against geo 2702. It is a small number, and it is almost entirely bloggers checking a renewal, which is why the billing period is the part of this page that matters most.

The figures as published on 29 October 2026

Figure on the page	What it is attached to	Billing period printed beside it
USD 49	The current offer for RankIQ plus the Aided AI Unlimited plan	None on the page read
USD 99	RankIQ, given as the reference price in two of the three claims	None on the home page
USD 299	Aided's Unlimited plan	Yes, "$299/month" on rankiq.com/aidedoffer-2/
USD 398	The two prices added together, used as the reference for the 87 per cent claim	None

The three discount claims agree with each other, and the arithmetic is the reason to trust them

It is worth running the sums rather than assuming a page with three different percentages is contradicting itself. The 99 and the 299 add to 398, which is the reference the page uses. Forty nine against 398 is a saving of 87.7 per cent, which rounds to the 87 per cent the page claims. Forty nine against 99 is a saving of 50.5 per cent, which rounds to the 50 per cent the page claims. Every one of the three statements is consistent with the other two.

What the page does not do is print a period next to the 49, and that is the single question to settle before you buy. A 49 a month subscription and a 49 one off purchase are different products, and the only place a period appears in the material we could read is on the membership page, beside the 299. Open the checkout, read the period there, and screenshot it.

What the purchase actually contains, in the vendor's own words

The served page describes two halves of one product. RankIQ brings a hand built keyword library and a content grader, in its own words, "We have a hand-picked keyword library for every major blog niche. Each library is filled with the lowest competition phrases that also have high traffic potential", plus a title analysis built from the top thirty search results. Aided brings the generation side, described on the page as one click applications that produce a blog post with social posts and an email promotion together, and the page states the bundle carries "Unlimited LLM Access" with unlimited access to Claude, Gemini and ChatGPT.

Two things follow for a buyer. The keyword half of this is a library rather than a research tool, so the first question is whether your niche is in the library at all, and that is answerable inside the product tour the page offers before payment. The generation half is a wrapper over assistants you can subscribe to directly, so the value of the bundle depends on how much you would otherwise pay for those seats.

Two claims on the page to handle carefully

The page carries a results claim, stated plainly: "A recent 1-year study of 2363 Mediavine blogs found that the Mediavine blogs using RankIQ increased their Google traffic 468% more than the Mediavine blogs not using RankIQ." That is the vendor's own sentence and it is reported here as the vendor's, not as a finding. Two details decide what to make of it. The page as read names no link to the study, so the method is not available at the point of sale. And the two groups chose themselves: blogs that bought a tool are compared with blogs that did not, so the difference includes whatever else distinguishes a blogger who invests in software. Ask for the study by name and read how the groups were matched before the figure enters your own forecast.

The page also carries the heading "RankIQ is the Highest-Rated SEO Tool in the World", with no criterion, rating source or date printed beside it on the page read. Treat a superlative with no named measure as marketing copy, which is what it is, and judge the product on the library and the grader instead.

One more detail worth noting from the document itself. The footer carries a 2023 copyright line and the two research studies it links are both marked 2023, while the offer at the top of the page is current. A current offer sitting on older furniture is a normal state for a site mid rebrand, and it is a reason to confirm every term at the checkout rather than from the page.

What could not be read from Singapore on 29 October 2026

• aided.com/riq-is-aided/ answered HTTP 403 with 5,705 bytes and nine visible words, reading "Just a moment... Enable JavaScript and cookies to continue". That is a challenge page rather than a refusal.
• rankiq.com/aidedoffer-2/ answered HTTP 200 at 224,378 bytes with 93 visible words. A quarter of a megabyte of document carrying fewer than a hundred readable words is where the 299 a month figure came from, and almost nothing else.

Both readings record what those servers did on 29 October 2026, and neither is evidence that a price is wrong. They do tell you something useful about where to get your answer: the figures live on the old domain, and the new one will not hand a plan table to anything that does not run its scripts.

Who this purchase fits, and who should buy something else

• A blogger in a niche the library covers. This is the buyer the product is built for, and the library is the reason to choose it over a general keyword tool. Check the niche first.
• A blogger who already pays for assistant subscriptions. The Unlimited plan replaces those seats, so price the bundle against what you already spend rather than against zero.
• A business selling services rather than publishing a blog. A keyword library built for publishers will not carry your commercial phrases. Our page on the SEO tools a blog needs in the order it needs them sets out what to buy first and what to leave until later, and the order is different when the blog is a sales channel.
• Anybody who needs daily position data. That is a rank tracker and not this, and it starts much cheaper. Our page on rank tracking from USD 3 a month prices that band per keyword.

What a Singapore buyer should settle before paying

Every figure on this page is in United States dollars and there is no Singapore dollar ladder anywhere in the material read today, so the amount on your card depends on the conversion your bank applies on the billing date. The tax treatment depends on your own registration rather than on where the vendor sits, and our page on what SEO tools really cost a Singapore buyer sets out the two routes. Settle three things at the checkout: the period beside the 49, what the price becomes at renewal, and whether cancelling keeps your access to the keyword library you have already used.

Questions bloggers ask about RankIQ pricing

Is the 49 a monthly subscription or a one off payment

The home page read on 29 October 2026 prints no period beside it. The 299 figure for the Aided Unlimited plan is printed as a month on rankiq.com/aidedoffer-2/, so the list prices in this bundle are monthly. Read the period at the checkout screen before you pay, because that is the only place it is stated for the offer price.

Can I still buy RankIQ on its own

The page presents one purchase, with RankIQ priced at 99 inside it as a reference. It also tells existing subscribers to sign in to RankIQ with their existing login, so current accounts continue. If you want the keyword library without the generation half, ask that question before buying rather than after.

How do I know whether my niche is in the keyword library

The page offers a product tour that unlocks access to the library listing, and that is the right place to look. If your subject sits across two niches, check both lists, because a library built per niche is strongest when your topic sits squarely in one of them.

What happens to the price at renewal

The published offer is an offer, with 99 and 299 given as the prices it is discounted from. Treat those two numbers as the renewal case in your own budget until the checkout tells you otherwise in writing.

Does RankIQ track whether an assistant mentions my blog

The page describes optimising a post for Google results, Google AI Overviews and ChatGPT answers, which is the writing side of that question. Counting which answers actually name your blog, and which pages they were assembled from, is a separate reading and a separate tool.

Is the Mediavine figure a reason to buy

It is a reason to ask for the study. The claim is the vendor's own, the page names no link to the method, and the two groups chose themselves. A tool can be worth 49 a month on the library alone, which is a judgement you can make from the product tour in an afternoon.

The sentence a blogger cannot write with a keyword library

A library of low competition phrases answers what to write next. It cannot tell you what an assistant already says when a reader asks for the best guide on your subject, and for a publisher that answer is now part of the traffic question: a recommendation with three names in it sends readers to those three. AI Knows Us reads those answers for a site and records which pages each mention was built from, so a publisher can see whether the archive it has already written is the thing being quoted. Start with the free scan and compare the pages it finds against the posts you expected it to name.
