A separate AI Search Intelligence plan starts at $99 per month billed annually [2]. Business and enterprise packages, and the API, are custom-priced through sales [1].

How we chose
We read Similarweb's Web Intelligence and AI Search Intelligence pricing pages and its homepage, then priced the two tools most buyers check next for competitor traffic data: Semrush's Traffic & Market toolkit and Ahrefs with its Traffic Analytics add-on. Every price and feature below comes from those vendor pages, checked on 2026-11-08. We did not test the products hands-on. Similarweb's prices load with JavaScript, so we viewed that page in a browser with the "Entrepreneurs" tab selected. If you are weighing Semrush against Similarweb on data rather than price, our Semrush vs Similarweb comparison covers that side.

Similarweb plans explained
Similarweb splits its pricing page into two tabs: "Entrepreneurs" for self-serve plans and "Businesses & Enterprises" for custom packages [1]. All three self-serve Web Intelligence plans include 1 user [1].
Competitive Intelligence: $125/mo billed annually
The entry plan covers Similarweb's core traffic research: website performance, traffic and engagement, customer demographics, a marketing channels overview and competitor alerts [1]. It includes 3 months of historical data and 100 monthly data credits [1]. Paying month to month raises the price to $199 [1], which by our math is about 59% more than the annual rate.
Competitive Intel & SEO & AEO: $333/mo billed annually
Similarweb labels this tier "Most Popular" [1]. On top of the entry plan it adds SEO Intelligence (organic search overview, keyword research, rank tracker, site audit and backlinks) and AEO Intelligence with AI brand visibility, "150 tracked prompts", sentiment and citation analysis [1]. Historical data doubles to 6 months, while data credits stay at 100 per month [1]. Month to month it costs $399 [1].
Competitive Intel, SEO & AEO & Ads: $542/mo billed annually
The top self-serve plan adds Ad Intelligence: creative and campaign insights, search and display insights, advertiser demand signals and ad spend [1]. It keeps 6 months of history and raises monthly data credits to 500 [1]. Monthly billing is $649 [1].
AI Search Intelligence: from $99/mo
If you only need to know how your brand shows up in AI answers, the AEO Intelligence plan costs $99 per month billed annually or $129 monthly, with 1 user, 3 months of history and 150 tracked prompts [2]. Its two upper tiers carry the same $333 and $542 prices as the Web Intelligence bundles [2].
Businesses & Enterprises: custom pricing
Similarweb asks larger buyers to "contact our sales team to discuss a custom package" [1]. That tab lists extras the self-serve plans do not show, including "Add up to 37 months of data", "100+ country-level coverage", AI Studio, real-time and bulk APIs, MCP for AI workflows, and SSO [1]. Similarweb also sells App, Sales and Retail Intelligence as separate product lines [5].
Similarweb free version and free trial
The free data on similarweb.com is, in Similarweb's words, "a high-level sample" with "a limited set of features without deeper drill downs" [1]. Each self-serve plan has a "Try for free" button, and a banner string in the page code reads "Try free for 7 days" [1]. Premium features outside the self-serve plans "require a custom package", so you cannot trial those without talking to sales [1].
Similarweb API pricing
There is no published API price. The API "is available is part of our customized packages for Businesses", or as a standalone purchase, priced through sales [1]. The homepage also lists a separate Data-as-a-Service (API) offer [5]. If you plan to pipe traffic data into a CRM or an internal AI tool, budget for a sales conversation and for the integration work; our AI integration services team handles that kind of build.
Similarweb — the broadest self-serve traffic suite, priced per seat
Similarweb sells several product lines [5]; Web Intelligence is the one built "For marketers, researchers, and SEO/ PPC teams" [1]. Its self-serve plans bundle competitor traffic, SEO, AI search visibility and ad data into three tiers [1].
Verified features: traffic and engagement, audience demographics, marketing channels, competitor alerts, keyword research, rank tracking, site audit and backlinks, AI brand visibility with 150 tracked prompts, and ad spend on the top tier [1].
Pricing: $125, $333 or $542 per month billed annually; $199, $399 or $649 month to month [1]. AI Search Intelligence starts at $99 per month billed annually [2]. Business packages and the API are quote-based [1].
Strengths: the entry plan is the lowest-priced route in this comparison to dedicated competitor traffic data on an annual contract. The upper tiers fold SEO, AI search and ad research into one subscription [1], so a small team may not need a second tool. Self-serve plans can be cancelled from the subscription page, with access kept to the end of the billing period [1].
Limitations: every self-serve plan includes 1 user [1]. The entry plan keeps only 3 months of history, and longer history (up to 37 months) is a business-package option [1]. To move to annual billing you have to email support [1], and API access needs a custom deal [1].
Best fit: founders, analysts and solo marketers who want to size up competitors' traffic and channels and can commit to an annual plan.
Semrush Traffic & Market — one plan, monthly or annual at the same price
Semrush sells competitor traffic research as a separate Traffic & Market toolkit with a single Pro plan [3].
Verified features: Traffic Overview, Market Landscape, Acquisition Channel Mix, Traffic & Market AI Insights, Top Pages & Conversions and Competitor Alerts, with "Up to 100 competitors to analyze" [3].
Pricing: Pro is $289/mo; when we toggled between Monthly and Annually the page showed $289/mo both times [3]. Extra users are "Contact us" [3].
Strengths: a published free trial: "Try Semrush free for seven days. Cancel anytime." [3].
Limitations: there is no cheaper entry tier, so the starting price is $164 a month above Similarweb's annual entry plan by our math, and SEO research is sold separately: the page lists SEO + AI Search, Local, Content and other toolkits alongside Traffic & Market [3].
Best fit: teams already paying for Semrush SEO who want market-level traffic data in the same account.
Ahrefs — traffic reports as a $99 add-on
Ahrefs is an SEO platform first; its competitor traffic data comes from an optional Traffic Analytics add-on [4].
Verified features: Traffic reports cover "Total estimated traffic for any domain" and a "Full 10+ channel breakdown, including AI traffic", plus sources, landing pages and countries [4].
Pricing: Lite is $129/mo, Standard $249/mo and Advanced $449/mo, and the page says paying annually saves "up to 17%" [4]. Traffic reports cost $99/mo on top [4], so Lite plus traffic data is $228 a month by our math.
Strengths: you get keyword research, site audit and rank tracking alongside traffic data, and you can add 2 more Lite users at $40/mo each [4].
Limitations: Ahrefs states "We never run discounts" and offers no free trial; the free option is Ahrefs Free, with limited access to Site Explorer and Site Audit for your own site [4].
Best fit: SEO-led teams that want traffic estimates as a supplement rather than their main data source.
How to choose
Start with how long you need the data. If you need competitor traffic for a one-off market study, Similarweb's free trial or Semrush's seven-day trial lets you test before paying [1] [3]. For a year of ongoing tracking, Similarweb's $125 annual entry plan is the lowest headline price here [1], but it covers one user and 3 months of history [1].
If your team already lives in an SEO tool, adding traffic data there is often simpler: Ahrefs charges $99/mo for traffic reports on top of a plan [4], and Semrush's Traffic & Market Pro is $289/mo [3]. If you need country-level coverage, longer history or API feeds, plan on Similarweb's custom business packages [1].
Traffic tools help most when their numbers feed account lists and outbound plays. If you want that wiring done for you, our GTM engineering work covers it.

Does Similarweb have a free trial?
Each self-serve plan shows a "Try for free" button, and the page code includes a "Try free for 7 days" banner [1]. Premium features outside those plans require a custom package [1].
How much is Similarweb API pricing?
Similarweb does not publish API prices. The API comes with customized business packages or as a standalone purchase, and you get pricing by contacting sales [1].
Similarweb vs Ahrefs: which costs less for traffic data?
On an annual plan, Similarweb's Competitive Intelligence is $125 per month [1]. On monthly billing, Similarweb is $199 [1], while Ahrefs Lite at $129/mo plus the $99/mo traffic add-on comes to $228 by our math [4].

Our recommendation
For a founder or small team that mainly wants competitor traffic and channel data, Similarweb's Competitive Intelligence plan at $125 per month billed annually is the most direct buy [1]; take the free trial first. If your SEO work already runs on Ahrefs, its $99 traffic add-on is the cheaper add-on route [4]. Choose Semrush's $289 Traffic & Market Pro plan when you want it inside an existing Semrush account [3].
