Our verdict

SE Ranking is a mature SEO platform with one of the deepest read-side APIs in the category, so developers can pull AI visibility data into their own dashboards and reports with real flexibility. If you already run a stack and want clean data feeds to read and benchmark, it is a capable choice. But the API exposes data to read, not actions to take. For an SMB, solo founder, or agency that needs to act on the gaps it finds, Citably adds the layer SE Ranking does not have: deploy interactive tools and AEO articles straight to your site, place AI ads, and white-label the whole platform, all from one token wallet.

Action Layer

Deploy From the Same Screen You Read On

SE Ranking reports where AI engines mention you and your competitors, then hands that data back for you to interpret. Citably reads the same gaps, then lets you deploy interactive tools and AEO articles to your site without leaving the dashboard.

Tools and schema-optimized articles earn citations because AI assistants prefer linking to functional resources and structured answers over a list of metrics.

Pricing Model

An API That Fires Actions, Not Just Feeds

SE Ranking offers a deep read-side API: rich, but read-only. It returns numbers to read and benchmark. Citably runs Deploy and Boost as callable endpoints.

Humans click them today, and automations fire the same endpoints tomorrow, so the loop from finding a gap to closing it stays in one place.

White Label

Full White-Label, Not Just Exports

SE Ranking lets agencies brand reports and exports. Citably hands you the whole platform: a branded subdomain, your colors and logo, and client accounts.

Agencies set their own markup and resell visibility as their own product, on the same token model with no separate agency tier.

We switched from a report-only tool. Being able to deploy a calculator and watch it pull citations within a week changed how we pitch clients.

One wallet for everything finally made the budget make sense. No more guessing which tier unlocks the feature I actually need this month.

The full white-label let us run visibility as our own product. Clients log into our brand, and the margin stays with us. That was the deciding factor.
