SpyFu pricing at a glance
| Plan | Monthly billing | Annual billing, per month | Users included | Tracked keywords, weekly | Historical data |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | $39 | $29 | 1 | 5,000 | No |
| Pro + AI | $59 first month, then $119 | $89 | 1 | 15,000 | 10+ years |

Basic caps searches and exports at 10,000 rows and allows one live site tracking project and 10 automated reports. Pro + AI removes the row caps, allows 10 projects and 100 reports, and adds API access, white label reports and a Google Search Console connection. Team/Agency makes projects and reports unlimited.
The $59 first month, explained
The offer applies to Pro + AI on monthly billing only. You pay $59 for month one and $119 every month after.
Over a year that is $1,368 on our arithmetic, against $1,068 on annual billing at $89 a month. So the first-month offer is a cheap way to try Pro, and annual billing is the cheaper way to keep it.
Basic or Pro + AI: the history question
SpyFu's main draw is history. Pro + AI shows more than 10 years of a competitor's paid and organic keyword data, so you can see what they bid on and when they stopped.
Basic has no historical data at all. It shows you a competitor's keywords and ads today, which free tools partly cover too. If history is why you came to SpyFu, Basic is the wrong plan and Pro + AI is the real price.
Users and the Team plan
Pro + AI includes one user. Extra users cost $30 a month on Pro + AI and Team/Agency, and the comparison table lists $15 on Basic.
For a team of three on Pro + AI, that is $179 a month on monthly billing after the first month, on our arithmetic. Team/Agency at $249 includes five users. At five people, Pro + AI plus four seats is $239, so Team/Agency costs $10 more but brings unlimited projects and 50,000 tracked keywords.
The page did not say whether extra users are billed monthly on annual plans, so ask if you are budgeting a year.
Annual billing, refunds and small print
Annual billing saves 25%, which SpyFu presents as three months free.
The guarantee is 30 days, money back, and you can cancel any time. That is better protection than a trial, because you test the full paid product.
API credits worth $40 come with Pro + AI and $100 with Team/Agency. Heavier API use is priced separately on SpyFu's developer site.
AI features. Pro + AI includes RivalFlow, a ChatGPT integration and AI brand monitoring.
Cheaper ways to see competitor ads and keywords
The free route covers more than people expect. The Google Ads Transparency Center guide shows every ad a competitor is running now, for nothing, though not the keywords behind them. The PPC competitor analysis guide walks through the rest of the free method.
For paid tools, SpyFu vs Semrush and SpyFu vs Ahrefs cover the overlap, and the SpyFu alternatives page lists the others with prices. If you are here because iSpionage closed, the iSpionage alternatives page compares the tools that replace it.
If you want to know when a competitor launches new ads rather than research their keyword history, Figo checks each competitor's Google, Meta and TikTok ads and emails you when new ones appear, at $49 a month for three competitors. Ours, so judge accordingly. It does not show the keywords they bid on, their spend or anything from before you start tracking, which is exactly where SpyFu is strong. Figo vs SpyFu sets out the split.
Is SpyFu worth it?
Pro + AI is good value for paid search work, especially on annual billing at $89 a month. Basic is hard to recommend because it leaves out the history that makes SpyFu different. For a one-off competitor review, one $59 month with the refund behind it is the cheapest serious option on this page.
