Questions
What do I actually get for free?
Free covers the site you own. Connect Google Search Console and GA4 and you get full dashboards, an Organic Performance funnel from impressions through clicks to engagement, the AI Visibility console with a CTR impact detector, plus content audit, entity research and internal linking. Site audit, backlinks and domain overview work on your own verified domain. You also get Trend Engine browsing with three topic lookups a day. One domain, 100 credits a month, no card required.
What is the difference between Free and a paid plan?
Free analyses the site you own. Paid plans analyse anyone else's. That is the whole upgrade in one line: competitor keywords, competitor backlinks, keyword gaps and domain comparison all need a paid plan, because they point at domains you do not control.
What's the actual difference between Starter and Pro?
Starter is a complete SEO tool: keywords, SERP, backlinks, competitors, site audit, local. Pro adds the layers built for how search works now — AI Citations and Prompt Tracker so you know whether ChatGPT and Gemini cite you, full Trend Intelligence so you catch topics before they peak, and YouTube rankings and audits for any channel. If those matter to you, you want Pro. If they don't yet, Starter isn't a stripped-down version of anything.
Is Agency just Pro with bigger numbers?
Yes, and we'd rather say so. Agency is the same product as Pro with 30 domains instead of 10, 10 local-SEO locations instead of 5, 2,000 tracked keywords instead of 500, double the credits, and priority support. If you don't need that scale, Pro is the right plan and you're not missing a feature.
What's a credit?
Every action spends credits from your monthly pool. A SERP analysis is 1 credit, a keyword overview is 8, a domain overview is 20, a 10-page site audit is 34, and a rank check is 7 per keyword. So 100 free credits is roughly five domain overviews, or twelve keyword lookups, or two site audits. Search Console, GA4 and YouTube keyword ideas cost nothing at all. You'll always see what an action costs before you run it.
Is there an API?
Yes. Every paid plan can read its Dorqa data through the Dorqa API: your projects, the Dorqa Brief, internal link suggestions and the question bank, as JSON. API calls use a daily allowance of units, separate from credits: 1,000 a day on Starter, 5,000 on Pro and 20,000 on Agency. Every plan, Free included, can also connect Dorqa to Claude and ChatGPT and ask about its data in plain words. The API docs cover keys, limits and every endpoint.
Can I use Dorqa inside Claude or ChatGPT?
Yes, on every plan, Free included. Dorqa runs an MCP server, so Claude and ChatGPT can read your Dorqa data and answer questions about it in plain words: what changed on your site this month, which pages are close to page one, which internal links to add first. It is read-only and uses no credits. Set it up in two minutes.
Which currency will I be charged in?
Rupees if you're in India, dollars everywhere else. The switch above sets what you see; your account's billing country sets what you're actually charged. Indian payments are processed by Razorpay and include GST. International payments are processed by Paddle, who act as Merchant of Record and calculate any local VAT, GST or sales tax at checkout.
Why isn't the dollar price a straight conversion?
Because it isn't meant to be. Rupee pricing is set for the Indian market; dollar pricing is set against the tools you'd otherwise buy in USD. Both give you exactly the same credits and the same feature limits — nothing is held back on either side.
Can I change plans?
Upgrade or downgrade anytime.
Is there a free trial?
No trial, but a 14-day money-back guarantee on your first paid subscription. Email support@dorqa.io and we'll process it. Full terms are in our refund policy. Better yet, the Free plan is not a trial — use it as long as you like before deciding.
