Pricing, platforms and requirements

RankGear is a free download from the Mac App Store and Microsoft Store, with a demo that uses synthetic data; live tools require the auto-renewing RankGear Monthly subscription, listed at $99.99 per month in the United States when checked on November 14, 2026^[1][2] . It runs on macOS 14 or later on Apple silicon and on Windows 11 on x64 or ARM64^[3] . Users connect their own data and AI provider accounts, whose charges are separate^[2] .

Overview

RankGear describes itself as a desktop application that users run on their own Mac or PC, connecting the provider accounts they already use, with project data and reports kept on their machine^[3] . Its media room says there is no required cloud account for report storage^[5] . The product as a whole is described on the main page, and how it compares with web-based tools is covered in RankGear compared with other SEO tools.

Pricing

Both store listings offer the app for free, with a demo using synthetic data^[1][2] . Live tools require the auto-renewing RankGear Monthly subscription^[1] . The Mac App Store lists RankGear Monthly as a $99.99 in-app purchase, and the Microsoft Store description gives the price as "$99.99 per month in the United States through Microsoft Store," adding that local prices may vary^[1][2] . These prices were checked on November 14, 2026^[1][2] .

Connected search, AI, enrichment, mapping and publishing workflows may require the user's own third-party accounts or API keys, with charges billed separately^[2] . RankGear says every billable action shows its cost before it runs, with "No hidden metering"^[4] . According to the privacy policy, Apple handles payments for Mac App Store subscriptions, and RankGear reads Apple-verified transaction information to determine access^[6] . The privacy policy also says the demo uses synthetic provider responses in a separate temporary workspace and does not call external search or AI services^[6] .

Supported platforms

RankGear's download page lists the following requirements^[4] :

The Mac App Store listing gives an app size of 85.9 MB and requires macOS 14.0 or later^[1] . Linux is not among the supported platforms listed by RankGear^[3] . Because both versions share one engine, RankGear says measurements and artifacts stay aligned across platforms^[4] .

Provider accounts

RankGear runs the analysis itself, while external data runs on accounts the user holds^[4] . The download page lists the provider types that can be added in Settings^[4] :

• Search results: a search-results data provider or a web-data provider, for organic and Maps result fields^[4] .
• Local business data: a search-results data provider or an API marketplace, for the coordinate Local Grid and Maps analysis^[4] .
• Entity extraction: an entity-extraction service, for content and entity research^[4] .
• AI (optional): Claude or OpenAI, for Ask Claude, Supplemental Content and Experiment Design Help^[4] .

At least one search-results provider key is needed to fetch the field and start organic on-page analysis^[4] . RankGear's requirements page says requests go directly from the user's computer to providers and usage is billed to the user's own accounts^[3] .

Where data and keys are stored

RankGear's privacy policy says the app stores settings, provider credentials, keyword sets, analysis data, workbooks and reports on the user's computer, and that Digitaleer does not operate a server that receives SEO projects or provider keys from the current desktop app^[6] . It says provider credentials are kept "in a local file restricted to your operating-system account, not in the macOS Keychain," and that the Mac App Store edition uses its own sandbox storage^[6] . The download page says the interface only sees that a key is present, never its value^[4] .

The policy states that the current desktop app has "no Digitaleer-operated advertising or analytics collector and no RankGear account service"^[6] . Providers that receive requests may retain queries, prompts and responses under their own terms^[6] . Map reports may load tiles from OpenStreetMap or Google^[6] .

Distribution

RankGear is distributed as a desktop app through the Apple App Store for macOS and the Microsoft Store for Windows^[4] . On the Mac App Store the seller is Clint Anthony Butler and the category is Business; on the Microsoft Store the publisher is Digitaleer^[1][2] . The privacy policy also mentions a direct-download edition of the Mac app, separate from the App Store edition, and a RankGear Browser SERP extension distributed through the Chrome Web Store^[6] . Version dates are listed in Release history.
