Looking for an eRank alternative for printables?

Affiliate disclosure: we make Printable Pilot, so we're not neutral. Some links to eRank on this page are affiliate links. If you sign up to a paid eRank plan through them, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. It doesn't change what we say about eRank.

eRank is a good, popular Etsy SEO tool, and for some sellers it's all they need. But if you sell printables, planners, SVGs or templates, the harder question is often what should I make next, and is my listing ready? That's what Printable Pilot is built for.

Below is a straight comparison of Printable Pilot with eRank and two other tools sellers often look at, eDigiScout and Sale Samurai. We make Printable Pilot, so we've stuck to what each tool says on its own pricing page and linked to it so you can check.

Competitor prices are in US dollars and can change, so check the linked page before you buy. "No" means we couldn't see that feature on the tool's pricing page.

eRank pricing in 2026

eRank has a free plan and three paid plans, priced in US dollars. Paying yearly costs less per month.

Prices and limits checked 28 Oct 2026 on eRank's Plans page (erank.com, affiliate link). eRank can change them at any time, so check before you buy.

Is eRank free?

Yes. eRank's free plan has no time limit. It gives you 5 keyword lookups and 5 listing audits a day, one AI Listing Helper use a day, and one connected shop with up to 50 listings.

Which eRank plan do printable sellers need?

Start on the free plan and see whether 5 keyword lookups a day is enough. Researching a new niche usually means checking several keywords, so many sellers outgrow it quickly. Basic ($5.99 a month) raises that to 100 lookups and 50 audits a day across up to 5 shops. Pro ($9.99 a month) doubles the lookups and suits shops with more than 200 listings, because Basic covers 200 connected shop listings. Expert is built for sellers running many shops.

Cancelling eRank

eRank says you can cancel, downgrade or upgrade at any time, and you keep your plan's features until the end of the billing period. Its Plans page doesn't mention refunds.

Which one suits you? Often, both

eRank and Printable Pilot do different jobs, so for many printable sellers the honest answer is to use both.

• Use eRank for broad keyword data. It's built for keyword research, competitor tracking and listing audits across your whole shop, and it has a free plan to start on.
• Use Printable Pilot for printable-specific work. It's built only for digital downloads: it finds printable niches with live Etsy figures, turns them into specific product ideas with prompts for Canva or ChatGPT, and scores each listing out of 10 before you publish.
• If you only want one: pick eRank if your main need is keyword and competitor data across lots of listings (or you sell physical items too). Pick Printable Pilot if your main need is deciding what printable to make next and getting each listing right.
• The others: eDigiScout suits browsing lots of digital-download niches for low competition; Sale Samurai suits long-tail keyword research if you're happy with a higher monthly price.

Printable Pilot doesn't make your files or track your whole shop, and eRank doesn't give you product ideas or prompts.
