A Semrush free trial is the official way to open the full platform for a few days before you are billed. It is not a month of free Pro, and it is not the same as the Free account you can keep without a card. On 11 November 2026 we re-read Semrush’s official trial page, its pricing page, its subscriptions help article, and its Free account guide on what a Free account includes.
This guide records the official trial length, the credit-card rule, what the trial locks, and what to do when it ends. Official plan rates stay in more detail on our Semrush price in India guide. Shared Semrush on its own is covered in our Semrush group buy in India guide. If you want several research tools in one rupee plan, see our SEO tools bundle guide. This page stays on the trial.
From ₹599 Pay by UPI
₹599 for 3 months, ₹999 for 6 months, or ₹1,599 for 12 months, as listed on the product page on 11 November 2026. One-time UPI payment, no auto-renewal. Shared access, not an official Semrush trial. Shared Semrush on its own is ₹599 for 12 months.
Quick answer
- The official Semrush free trial is 7 days, not 30 or 60. Semrush’s pricing and trial pages on 11 November 2026 say “try Semrush free for seven days” and “cancel anytime.”
- A credit card is required to start the trial. Semrush’s Free-account article is explicit: the ongoing Free plan needs no payment details, but the 7-day trial does. After 7 days, the account converts to the plan you chose unless you cancel first.
- Exports are disabled during the trial, even on tools that include exports once you pay. Each toolkit trial can be started once per account. The Agency Partners add-on is a separate 14-day trial.
- If you want Semrush without a foreign card, the DesiBundle SEO tools bundle starts at ₹599 for 3 months, paid by UPI. Shared Semrush on its own is ₹599 for 12 months. Both are shared access, not an official trial.
How long the official Semrush free trial lasts
On 11 November 2026, the official Semrush free trial is seven days. Semrush’s trial landing page is titled as a 7-day trial. The pricing page repeats the same line: “Try Semrush free for seven days. Cancel anytime.” The subscriptions help article says most toolkits include a 7-day free trial, that you can cancel at any time before the trial ends, and that after those 7 days your account converts to the plan you selected unless you cancel.
That answers the usual follow-up searches in one place. There is no official 30-day Semrush free trial, and no official 60-day trial, on the pages we read today. Older blog posts and autocomplete suggestions still mention those lengths. Treat them as outdated unless Semrush’s own trial or pricing page, on the day you sign up, shows a different number for your account.
You can start trials for different toolkits separately and at different times, and each toolkit trial can be activated once per account. SEO + AI Search plans, plus Traffic & Market, Local, Content, Social, Advertising and AI PR, were listed as 7-day trials. The Agency Partners Platform add-on was listed as a 14-day trial. Additional users can get 7-day access to most toolkits on the main account, except Traffic & Market.
Does the Semrush free trial need a credit card?
Yes. A Semrush free trial requires a credit card. The ongoing Free account does not. Semrush’s Free account article puts the two side by side: you can create a Free account with an email and password and no payment information, but “if you want to start the 7-day free trial, you’ll need to enter credit card details.”
The subscriptions article is clear about the rule after the trial: if you do not cancel, you are billed at the standard rate for the plan you chose. That is a poor surprise if your Indian card is declined, or if you forget the end date. Semrush’s billing FAQ also notes that some virtual cards are rejected for trial activation, and that you can use the free-trial option only once. Later attempts can bill a monthly plan instead.
There is no official “Semrush free trial without credit card” for the full 7-day platform. The no-card path is the Free account, with tight daily limits, which we cover below. If paying Semrush officially is the blocker, because of the card, the currency or the size of the bill, a rupee plan on DesiBundle is a different product, not a way to start Semrush’s own trial without a card.
What the Semrush free trial includes, and what it locks
The point of a Semrush free trial is to use paid features at paid-plan limits for a week. The trial landing page groups the main starting points as Semrush One, the SEO Toolkit, and specialist toolkits for content, traffic, ads, local and social. Which limits you get depends on the plan you pick when you start the trial, such as SEO, Starter or Pro+.
One official restriction matters if you planned to download reports. The subscriptions help article says exports are disabled during the trial, even if the paid plan includes them. You can still run the tools, but you should not expect to export files until you upgrade. Local Toolkit timing has a special rule: you can add a Local trial while SEO or Traffic & Market trials are active, and those Local limits follow the remainder of those trials. Once they finish, you cannot add a Local trial later.
There is another eligibility note in the same article. If you currently have, or previously had, a trial or paid subscription for one or more toolkits, you are not eligible for free access to the SEO or Traffic & Market toolkits. Those two are exceptions to the standard trial policy. In short, a Semrush free trial is generous for a first look, and it is not a second look you can restart whenever you like.
Semrush free trial versus the Free account
If you do not want to enter a card, or you only need a light look, start with the Free account rather than forcing a Semrush free trial. On 11 November 2026, Semrush’s pricing page listed the Free plan at $0 a month, with no credit card required, 1 demo project, and 10 reports per day across vital tools. The Free-account article breaks those limits down further.
| Feature | Free account (official, 11 Nov 2026) | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Cost and card | $0, no credit card | This is the only official no-card path |
| Reports and domain checks | 10 queries or reports a day on core tools | Enough to sample, easy to hit in one session |
| Site Audit | Up to 100 pages | Fine for a small site, tight for a large one |
| Position Tracking | 10 keywords | A focused list, not a client portfolio |
| Trial alternative | 7-day Semrush free trial of a paid plan, card required | Full limits for a week, then a bill if you stay |
Semrush’s official prices, checked on the pricing page on 11 November 2026, are still dollar prices. The SEO plan is $139 a month, or $117.33 a month billed yearly ($1,407.96 a year) before tax. Starter is $199 a month, or $165.17 billed yearly. Pro+ is $299 a month, or $248.17 billed yearly. Extra users start at $45 a month. At about ₹94 per US dollar, the cheapest official yearly SEO bill is around ₹1,32,300, plus forex and tax. That is the bill a forgotten trial can become.
Use the Free account to learn the menus. Use the 7-day trial only when you have a real project, a cancel reminder, and a card Semrush will accept. Official plan rates in rupees are on the price guide already linked.
How to start, and how to cancel, a Semrush free trial
Start the official Semrush free trial only from Semrush’s own site, such as the trial page or the pricing page. Pick the plan that matches the limits you want to test, not the most expensive plan out of curiosity, because that is the plan you will be billed on if the week runs out. Enter a card you control, then write down the end date and the post-trial price.
- Open Semrush’s official trial or pricing page and sign in or create an account.
- Choose the plan whose limits you actually need to test, for example SEO or Starter.
- Enter card details, then immediately note the trial end date and the amount that will be charged if you stay.
- Work on one real project: a site audit, a keyword set, a competitor glance. Exports will not be available.
- Cancel in account or subscription settings before the seventh day if you do not want the paid plan. Keep a confirmation.
Cancel during the trial and, according to Semrush’s help article, you are not charged. After the trial, cancellation stops later renewals but does not undo a bill already taken. Use Semrush’s own billing pages rather than a third-party workaround, and use the official billing FAQ if a card is declined.
Do not start a trial on a page that is not semrush.com. A “trial code” or “30-day link” from a coupon site is not an official Semrush offer unless the same terms appear on Semrush’s own trial or pricing page.
What to do when the Semrush free trial ends
When a Semrush free trial is over, you have three honest paths. You can keep the official plan, if the tool earned the dollar bill and your card can pay it. You can drop back to the Free account, with the 10-report daily cap, and keep the projects Semrush says are preserved when you later upgrade. Or you can stop official billing and use a lower rupee shared plan for non-confidential research.
DesiBundle’s SEO tools bundle is ₹599 for 3 months, ₹999 for 6 months, or ₹1,599 for 12 months, paid once by UPI, as listed on 11 November 2026. The 3-month list includes Semrush along with Moz Pro, Ubersuggest, KWFinder, SpyFu, ChatGPT Plus, Grammarly, QuillBot and the other names on the product page. If you only want Semrush, shared Semrush access is ₹599 for 12 months. Both are shared logins, with pooled limits, and neither is a Semrush invoice in your name.
Shared access is a poor swap if you need private client projects, official exports at paid limits, vendor support, or a seat you can show finance. It is a practical swap if the official card requirement or the yearly dollar bill is the blocker, and you are working on your own sites.

Our verdict on the Semrush free trial in 2026
As of 11 November 2026, the official Semrush free trial is 7 days, it needs a credit card, it converts to a paid plan unless you cancel, and it does not include exports. There is no official 30-day or no-card version of that trial on the pages we read. The no-card official path is the Free account, with 10 reports a day. Official SEO after the trial starts at $139 a month, or $117.33 a month billed yearly, before tax.
Use the trial for one focused week on a real site, with a cancel reminder. If you cannot pay Semrush officially, or you want several tools in rupees, the SEO tools bundle from ₹599 for 3 months, or shared Semrush at ₹599 a year, is the honest alternative, with the shared-login limits attached. Confirm the live official trial page and the live product page on the day you pay.
