Together

How teams use both

  1. Keep SE Ranking for rank tracking, keyword and backlink research, site audits and AI prompt tracking.
  2. Add Over the Fence for the rivals you name. It reads their offers, banners and prices for you and puts each beside yours.
  3. When SE Ranking shows a rival climbing for your keywords, Over the Fence shows what that rival changed on its site the same week. We don’t claim one caused the other.
  4. Agencies add each client as a site, with that client’s rivals. Each of the week’s three findings links to its source, so it can go straight to the client.
  5. SE Ranking has an MCP server too, so one AI assistant can ask both about the same rival. Ours comes with every plan, with 2,500, 10,000 or 100,000 requests a month.

Questions

What people ask

Something else? Write to hello@overthefence.io and a person answers.

Is Over the Fence an alternative to SE Ranking?

Not for SEO. SE Ranking tracks 2,000 to 5,000 keywords a day, and its keyword and backlink research goes much further than ours. Over the Fence answers a narrower question: what did each of your rivals change, and what should you do about it? If you use SE Ranking for SEO, keep it and add us for your rivals.

Can SE Ranking alert me when a competitor’s page changes?

Yes. Page Changes Monitoring watches the pages you add, rivals’ included. It checks them as often as every day and emails up to 5 addresses when one changes, per SE Ranking’s help center on October 3, 2026. SE Ranking lists it among the features of its Growth plan, $279 a month.

Does SE Ranking track a rival shop’s prices and offers?

SE Ranking suggests adding a rival’s pricing page to Page Changes Monitoring to hear when it changes. We found no feature in its docs that reads a rival’s prices, stock or offers product by product (checked October 3, 2026). That is the part Over the Fence does every day.

What does Over the Fence add to SE Ranking?

We read each rival shop for you. Every day we read the top of its homepage, banners included, and the prices of a short list of its products. Each offer comes with its terms, and when a rival starts a sale for everyone at least as deep as your prices rule, you get an email that day. Every week we read their whole sites and send three findings at most.

How much do SE Ranking and Over the Fence cost?

SE Ranking’s Core plan is $129 a month billed monthly and Growth is $279, per its pricing page on October 3, 2026. Over the Fence costs $49 a month for 3 rivals, $119 for 6 and $249 for 12, billed monthly.

Can I try Over the Fence before I pay?

Yes. Every plan starts with 3 days free. You add a card when you start, and we charge it when the 3 days end. Cancel before then and you pay nothing.
