Rankinity Tracks Only Top 30 – Ranktracker Tracks Top 100

Intro

If you are researching Rankinity rank tracking, there is an important clarification worth making — and it explains why so many users complain about speed and reliability.

Rankinity does not truly track the full Top 100. In practice, it tracks up to 3 SERP pages (Top 30), and even that data is often slow to update and inconsistent.

This article explains what Rankinity actually tracks, why users struggle with it, and why many eventually move to Ranktracker.

How Rankinity rank tracking actually works

Rankinity’s tracking setup looks deeper than Top 20 on paper, but in reality it is still very limited.

What users experience in practice:

  • Tracking depth capped at 3 pages (Top 30)
  • No reliable visibility beyond page three
  • Updates often take a long time to complete
  • Rankings lag behind real Google movements
  • Large projects frequently stall or timeout

So while Rankinity may advertise broader tracking, it does not provide fast or dependable Top 100 visibility.

Why Rankinity feels slow for many users

Rankinity relies on client-side software and heavy scraping, which creates several problems:

  • Rank checks take hours or days for larger keyword sets
  • Updates can fail or stall mid-run
  • SERPs update in batches instead of smoothly
  • Data feels outdated by the time it finishes

This is why many users report:

  • Delayed rankings
  • Missed movements
  • Inconsistent results
  • Poor scalability for real SEO work

The tool is doing the work — just not fast enough.

What this looks like in real SEO work

Common complaints from Rankinity users include:

  • Rankings updating long after changes were made
  • Keywords appearing stuck for days
  • Competitor movement being missed
  • Reports lagging behind reality

For example:

  • A keyword moves from position 42 to 28
  • Rankinity may not reflect that change for days
  • By the time it appears, the opportunity to react early is gone

That delay breaks SEO feedback loops.

Why Top 30-only tracking is still a problem

Even if Rankinity were fast, Top 30 depth is not enough.

SEO progress usually starts much earlier:

  • Page 10 to page 7
  • Page 7 to page 5
  • Page 5 to page 4

This is where:

  • Content updates first show traction
  • Link building momentum builds
  • New competitors emerge
  • Recoveries after updates begin

If your tool stops at page three — and updates slowly — you lose visibility twice.

The combination that hurts most: shallow + slow

Either limitation on its own is manageable.

Together, they are not:

  • Limited depth (Top 30 only)
  • Slow update speed
  • Inconsistent refresh cycles

That combination makes it hard to:

  • Trust the data
  • React quickly
  • Scale keyword tracking
  • Run SEO professionally

This is why so many Rankinity users eventually look elsewhere.

How Ranktracker handles rank tracking differently

Ranktracker was rebuilt to remove exactly these issues.

Rankinity vs Ranktracker in simple terms

Rankinity

  • Tracks up to Top 30
  • Updates are slow
  • Inconsistent refresh times
  • Limited scalability
  • Frequent user complaints

Ranktracker

  • Tracks the full Top 100
  • Updates daily
  • Fast, reliable infrastructure
  • Built for scale
  • Designed for modern SEO workflows

One struggles to keep up. The other is built to stay ahead.

Why Rankinity users start looking for alternatives

Users typically start questioning Rankinity when:

  • Rank checks take too long
  • Data feels outdated
  • Projects do not scale
  • Competitor movement is missed
  • Reports lag behind real SERPs

Once speed and trust are gone, switching becomes inevitable.

Bottom line

Rankinity tracks up to three SERP pages (Top 30), but updates are slow and often unreliable, especially at scale. It does not offer dependable Top 100 tracking.

Ranktracker tracks the full Top 100 daily, with fast updates, consistent data, and no depth limits.

If you need speed, scale, and full SERP visibility, slow partial tracking is not enough.
