  "account": "Surfer SEO offers four pricing plans for 2026: Discovery, Standard, Pro, and Peace of Mind. Annual billing is the default and saves up to 17% compared to monthly payments.\n\nThe Discovery plan ($49 per month) is suitable for solo creators testing Surfer or running one site. It allows for 120 documents per year, which equates to about two optimized posts per month. However, it only includes one seat, so additional team members would require a higher-priced plan.\n\nThe Standard plan ($99 per month) is the default and recommended for most small teams. It provides 360 documents, three seats (for SEO, writer, and freelancer), and 25 AI prompts tracked weekly. The unlimited feature on the Peace of Mind plan is not truly unlimited, with monthly limits set at 500 documents and 6,000 per year.\n\nThe Pro plan ($182 per month) offers daily AI prompt tracking, 5 brand workspaces, 5 seats, 200 tracked pages, internal linking, and cannibalization reporting. It is only worth considering if these additional features are needed beyond what Standard offers.\n\nThe Peace of Mind plan ($299 per month) stands out with its unlimited document cap under fair use (500 documents per month), 10 seats, unlimited workspaces, API access, and a dedicated Customer Success Manager. This plan is ideal for agencies handling multiple client content needs.\n\nAn Enterprise plan is also available for $999 per month, offering features like Single Sign-On (SSO), white-labeling, advisory support, and custom limits. However, this is only recommended if procurement requires these specific capabilities.\n\nTo save money, it's advised to stay on a monthly plan until the need for annual billing is confirmed, as the annual savings range from $120 to $720. A 7-day trial is available for new accounts, with the selected plan being charged automatically unless cancelled before day seven. Upgrading from Standard to Pro provides no additional document capacity, making it unnecessary for most small teams. AI Search Analytics can be added as a separate product if prompt tracking is desired without a full content suite.",
  "summary": "TL;DR Surfer SEO pricing runs $49 / $99 / $182 / $299 per month on annual billing for Discovery, Standard, Pro and Peace of Mind — or $59 / $119 / $219 / $359 if you pay monthly. Standard ($99) is the plan most small teams should buy ; Pro does not raise the 360-document cap, it buys daily AI-prompt tracking and 5 seats instead. Annual billing is charged as one lump sum and is non-refundable by…",
