What’s limited on my plan, and why

Each RankDots plan sets how much you can do: how many projects you start each month, how many keywords a project holds, how many articles you generate, and more. This page explains each limit, what counts toward it, and what to do when you reach it.

See your own limits

Open your profile from the icon at the top right. Under Current plan, each limit shows how much you’ve used and how much your plan allows. To compare plans, see Plans and pricing.

When monthly limits reset: every month on the day of the month you bought your plan - or on the last day of the month when that date doesn’t exist, such as the 31st in a 30-day month. This is the same on monthly, annual, and custom plans.

Projects and prompts by plan

The limits, one by one

• New projects per month, and projects in total. Every project you create counts toward both. Deleting a project doesn’t give either back.
• Keywords per project. The most keywords one project’s plan can hold.
• Keywords import per project. How many keywords you can add yourself with Import. On the trial, it’s 1,000.
• Content generations per month. Every outline and document RankDots generates counts - including a generation that fails, a retry, generating again after changing your settings, and Quick generate. See Content generation failed or stopped.
• Export. Whether you can download your keywords, pages and recommendations. On a plan without export, selecting Export shows a message instead of downloading.
• Search Console limits. Two limits apply once Google Search Console is connected: GSC keywords import limit, the most keywords RankDots can add to your project from Search Console; and GSC query+page limit, the most keyword-and-page pairs RankDots reads from Search Console to build your recommendations. On a large site, this is why Opportunities checks a selection of your pages. See What does “pages checked” mean?.

AI Visibility limits

• Prompts per project. The most prompts a project can hold at any one time (see the table above). Every prompt counts once, however it was added: written by RankDots at launch, typed, pasted, imported from a CSV file or added with ✦ Suggest more.
• Competitors. Up to 10 per project, on every plan. Every competitor’s names are matched against every AI answer, and Share of Voice over a longer list stops being readable.

On the free trial

• Part of the data on the Topic clusters, Pages and Keywords screens is blurred.
• You can import up to 1,000 keywords per project.
• When the trial ends, your projects are kept for 7 days, then deleted unless you choose a plan. See My trial ended and I lost access to my data.

When you reach a limit

A message tells you which limit you’ve reached, and what you were doing doesn’t start. You can:

• wait for the monthly reset, for monthly limits;
• choose a bigger plan; see Upgrading and downgrading [link is coming];
• contact us through the chat at the bottom right of the app if a failed generation used up what you needed.
