Semrush change history explained

We log Semrush changes from the vendor's own announcements and product notes, and every entry on this page links back to its source.

We have 3 entries on file.

The record runs from 28 April 2026 to 26 August 2026, a window of 4 months.

That works out to roughly one change every 60 days, which is a moderate cadence for this category.

2 of 3 entries are additions, which is the pattern you expect from a vendor competing on capability.

No outages are on our record for this period.

That is a genuine absence of data rather than a guarantee, since we only log an outage when it is publicly documented.

Change logs are marketing as much as they are documentation, so read the source before you treat any of this as settled..

New feature

We have 2 entries of this type for Semrush.

They are: "Semrush launches an official connector for Claude" and "2026 AI Visibility Index expanded to 126 million prompts".

Recorded on 26 August 2026 and 26 June 2026.

The worth of an addition depends entirely on whether it was on your list.

A feature you never wanted is marketing, a feature you were about to replace a tool for is a reason to stay..

Ownership change

We have 1 entry of this type for Semrush.

They are: "Adobe completes its acquisition of Semrush".

Recorded on 28 April 2026.

An ownership change affects roadmap, pricing and support, but rarely immediately.

Watch the next two quarters of pricing before drawing conclusions about cost..

What this means for your Semrush bill

Entry price up 7.7% since January 2024

Changelog entries and price history are separate records, so here is the price side for Semrush.

We have 6 recorded price points from January 2024 to June 2026, with 1 change inside that window.

The range runs from $129.95 to $139.95 per month, and the current recorded figure is $139.95.

The direction is up.

If a price-related entry appears above, it lines up with a track record of increases rather than a one-off.

The full timeline, the cost at five seats and the competitor price table are on the Semrush pricing page..

How Semrush compares to the rest of the field

A single vendor's changelog only tells you what that vendor did.

The more useful comparison is what the rest of the marketing seo category shipped in the same window.

Across the 11 other tools we track in this category, 4 vendors recorded at least one change on or after 28 April 2026.

None of those entries were pricing changes, so Semrush was not repriced while its rivals were shipping features.

The most recent competitor entry we hold is "August 2026 product roundup published" from Surfer SEO on 13 August 2026.

Clearscope, Moz Pro, Ubersuggest, and SE Ranking have recorded nothing in this window in our dataset, which usually means quieter release cadence rather than inactivity..

If you already use Semrush

If you are already paying for Semrush, the entry that matters most is "Semrush launches an official connector for Claude" from 26 August 2026. Read it against what you actually use, not against what the announcement claims. With 2 additions on the record and 0 pricing entries, this looks like a vendor investing in capability rather than in repackaging. That is the healthier pattern for a long-term commitment. No removals are on our record, which means nothing we logged was taken away from you. Set a price alert rather than guessing. Vendor pricing moves without announcement, and our tracking only catches changes that are publicly visible.

If you are still deciding

If you are still evaluating, a change log matters less than the hands-on verdict. The feature list on a vendor's site tells you what exists, our review tells you whether it works well. Our testing still puts Semrush at 4.6 out of 5, and the strengths we found were best in class competitive and advertising intelligence (ppc, pla, ad spend), massive keyword and competitive databases across many countries, and new ai search bundles track visibility in chatgpt, perplexity, gemini. The rivals in this category shipped 5 changes between them in this window, so treat any single-vendor lead as a snapshot rather than a trend. Judge on what you will still need in two years. A tool with fewer features and predictable pricing is usually the safer pick over one shipping constantly and repricing often.
