Yeah, $700/yr for something you barely use is kinda overkill. You can suggest looking at pay-as-you-go SEO APIs like DataForSEO, Serpstack, or Mozscape API since they charge based on usage and can easily stay under ~$50/yr for light needs. Another solid option is combining Google Search Console API and Google Analytics which are free, and only paying for a small SERP API if needed. If usage is low, building something lightweight in-house with these APIs honestly makes more sense than a full SEO subscription.
