Five jobs people bring to Moz Pro, each landing on the tier whose quota it exhausts first. Every figure below comes off the vendor's own pricing table.
Rank tracking, counted in monthly checks
Moz Pro meters its rank tracker in checks per month, not keywords held, and that unit decides more tiers than any feature. Standard carries 300 checks, Medium 1,500, Large 3,000. The multiplication is what buyers miss: a 100-keyword list is tiny, but tracked weekly it spends 400 checks a month and has already left the $99 tier. A daily cadence on even 50 keywords burns 1,500 and sits exactly at Medium's ceiling. The tracker itself is identical on every tier; the only thing you buy is the allowance.
Sizing is therefore a frequency decision before it is a list decision. Weekly tracking on up to 75 keywords fits Standard's 300 checks with a little headroom. Anything resembling agency cadence, daily reads on a few hundred terms, is Large arithmetic at $299, and past 3,000 checks a month the published rates simply end. There is no check pack, no overage rate, no metered bridge: the two add-ons cover prompts and dashboards, never keywords. When the allowance runs out mid-month, the choice is wait or climb.
The planning move is to write down list size times reads per month before opening the pricing page. That one product of two numbers picks the tier by itself.
On the published ratesA 100-keyword list tracked weekly spends 400 checks a month; that passes Standard's 300 and lands on Medium at $179.
AI visibility across GPT, Gemini and AI Mode
This is the job Moz Pro prices most explicitly, and the gate is absolute: AI and GEO features exist from Medium up, and Standard cannot buy them at any price. Medium at $179 includes 100 tracked prompts a month across GPT, Gemini and Google AI Mode, two AI Visibility Dashboards, and AI Prompt Suggestions tracking. Large doubles the allowances to 200 prompts and four dashboards. A prompt here is a query you watch: which answers cite you, which cite rivals, and how that shifts. One hundred prompts covers a focused brand; it does not cover a brand plus its competitors plus its category questions.
Overflow is priced in two small units. Extra prompts run $50 per 100 and extra dashboards $20 each, on the two upper tiers only. The arithmetic favors Medium longer than expected: a 400-prompt program costs $329 a month from Medium with three packs against $399 from Large with two, so Large wins that fight only through its other quotas. The dashboards flip sooner. A five-brand book on Medium is $239 with three extras, sixty dollars from Large's whole bundle. Price the pack count every quarter, because recurring packs are how a $179 line quietly becomes a $300 line.
On the published rates400 tracked prompts run $329 a month from Medium (three $50 packs) against $399 from Large (two packs); Large wins only on its other quotas.
Site audits sized by the crawl allowance
The crawl quota is the least advertised number: 400,000 pages a month on Standard, 2 million on Medium, 5 million on Large. For most small businesses 400,000 sounds infinite, and for a 5,000-page site audited weekly it genuinely is, at 20,000 pages of spend. The number stops being infinite the moment the property is an online store or a publisher. Faceted navigation, parameter URLs and pagination multiply crawlable pages far past the sitemap count, and a 150,000-page store audited weekly spends 600,000 pages a month, past Standard's entire allowance.
The tier logic follows the same lockstep as everything else here: you cannot buy crawl pages separately, so the audit habit picks the tier. Medium's 2 million covers a mid-size property on a weekly cadence with room for recrawls after fixes. Large's 5 million is portfolio scale, 25 tracked sites drawing on one monthly pool. The allowance resets with the calendar month, so a migration or redesign month that needs back-to-back full crawls deserves planning: run the big crawl early, spend the remainder on spot checks, and do not schedule two full portfolio crawls into one allowance.
Starter buyers should note the silence: no crawl figure is printed for the $49 tier at all. If auditing is any part of the job, the first tier with a published allowance is Standard.
On the published ratesA 150,000-page store audited weekly spends 600,000 pages a month; that passes Standard's 400,000 and lands on Medium at $179.
Portfolio tracking across tracked-site quotas
The tracked-site quota runs 3, 10, 25 across the printed tiers, and it is the least negotiable number Moz Pro publishes: no per-site add-on exists, so site eleven forces Large exactly as site four forces Medium. For a freelancer with a handful of clients, Standard's three slots disappear on day one, since your own site takes one. The practical entry for anyone running client work is Medium's ten, and a real portfolio operation lives on Large's 25. Past that, the published rates stop and Enterprise begins, unpriced.
What makes the site quota expensive is that it never travels alone. Ten sites share Medium's 1,500 monthly keyword checks, which is 150 per site on an even split, roughly 35 keywords tracked weekly each. They also share the 2-million-page crawl pool and the two dashboards. A portfolio that is heavy on any one axis, one huge site, one keyword-hungry client, unbalances the whole bundle and drags the tier up for everyone. The seat row compounds it: two users on Medium, three on Large, so portfolio scale and team scale climb the same tiers whether both need to or not.
The yearly cycle softens the arithmetic without changing it: Large falls to $239 a month billed annually, the vendor's flat 20 percent. For a stable portfolio that discount is the one lever worth pulling.
On the published ratesEleven tracked sites pass Medium's 10-site quota and force Large at $299 a month, where 25 slots and 3,000 checks wait.
Content briefs on the AI allowance
AI Content Briefs are the writing-side allowance: 2 a month on Standard, 10 on Medium, 50 on Large. The spread is the steepest Moz Pro publishes, a 25-fold climb across a 3-fold price range, which tells you who each tier is for. Standard's two briefs are a sample, enough to decide whether the format helps. Medium's ten supports a real publishing calendar of two or three researched pieces a week. Large's fifty is content-operation scale, where briefs feed a team of writers rather than one.
There is no brief pack. Unlike prompts and dashboards, briefs cannot be bought separately at any price, so a content team that outgrows ten briefs a month is buying Large's whole bundle at $299 whether it needs 25 sites or not. That makes briefs worth checking against the rest of your quota profile before they become the binding constraint. A small team publishing daily but tracking one site is exactly the buyer these tiers squeeze: brief demand says Large, everything else says Medium, and the published tiers offer nothing in between.
The briefs also mark where AI value actually sits across the printed tiers. Standard's two exist mostly to be outgrown, and the jump from 10 to 50 at the top is the vendor's clearest statement about which buyer each tier was built for. Read your monthly publishing count against those three numbers first.
On the published ratesBrief eleven in a month passes Medium's allowance of 10; the only printed fix is Large at $299, which carries 50.
