Kompyte alternative · 2026

Kompyte’s “starting at $300/yr” turns into ~$20,000 once you talk to sales.

Semrush’s SEC filings disclose Kompyte’s actual ARPU at roughly $20,000/year. The $300 listed price is the floor of a sales-gated tier. Kompense publishes every price, every limit, no calls required — from $79/mo solo to $999/mo for agencies running 30 client workspaces.

Why we built a Kompyte alternative

When Semrush acquired Kompyte in 2022, the original product’s pricing and self-serve motion gradually folded into Semrush’s enterprise sales cycle. Today the listed $300/yr price is real but unrepresentative — the actual buyer who closes is paying ~$20k after the discovery call, contract negotiation, and feature-tier qualification.

If you are not already a Semrush customer with budget allocated, the Kompyte path is friction. We built Kompense for the buyer who wants to run a credit card and have a working CI dashboard in 5 minutes — including agencies that need to run that flow on behalf of multiple clients.

Three reasons to switch

  • Real public pricing — every tier, every limit, every feature visible. No surprise upgrades during the call.
  • Self-serve from $79 — pay on a card, get a workspace, add competitors. No sales cycle to navigate.
  • Agency-friendly — the Business tier specifically lets you white-label and resell to your clients. Kompyte does not.
