The short version

  • Only Moz has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Moz smaller keyword database with only 500M+ keywords compared to 25 billion for Semrush; Planning Pod subscription pricing is metered by concurrent event volume rather than seats: the vendor states "Subscription pricing is based on the number of events your venue manages at any given time" and that "most single-location venues land between $199 and $319 per month."
  • They diverge on capability: Moz covers Keyword Explorer, Planning Pod covers Lead management.
