is it really Better than Yoast?

If you just want the features in the free version, then Rankmath is probably the best solution, you do get a lot for free.

Sadly I cannot say the same for the pro version or their customer support.

I have been running rank math for over 2 years now on over a dozen sites, and I am paying for the Business edition.

During those 2+ years, I have had endless problems with Rakmath constantly breaking and reporting incorrect rankings and the analytics just being plain wrong or not working at all and reporting ZERO for everything because it keeps losing the connection to Google and constantly needs to be reconnected or because rank math just breaks and all the data needs to be reindexed and the database repaired.

The rankings usually won’t even match what the Google search console says, even though support says this is where they get the data from.
I also use other tools to monitor the rankings, and these also report very differently to rank math,
Sites will have multiple top-ranking keywords, but Rankmath will say they have none.

Obviously, it’s not good when your clients are getting the monthly report which incorrectly says their rankings and traffic suck when they don’t

The plugin is constantly losing its connection with my rank math account and as a result, won’t update. But of course, you do not find this out unless you log in to that site and notice that it is prompting you to upgrade.

I have exchanged dozens and dozens of tickets with Rankmath support over the last 2+ years RE all these issues and have got nowhere, just going round and round in circles. I have spent more time contacting rank math support than every other plugin and theme I have ever used put together.

The support/customer service is horrible, and they have on multiple occasions just tried to refund me and get rid of me because they don’t care and cannot be bothered to try and solve the issues.

They also do not like anyone to say anything negative about their product and will ban you from their facebook page if you do. I got banned simply for pointing out that Rank math ignores bing.

If you use rank math to monitor or track your analytics/keywords/ranking, then I highly suggest you verify that data elsewhere to see if it is actually correct.
