One hundred rupees. That’s the whole gap between the two most popular GroupToolz plans, and it roughly triples your tool count, 18 on Pro against 48 on Advanced. But more tools isn’t automatically better, and plenty of people should stick with Pro. Here’s the full tool list for each group buy plan, who each one actually suits, and how to pick without paying for things you’ll never open.
By GroupToolz Team Updated: August 2026
| ₹399 Pro Plan | ₹499 Advanced Plan | 18 Tools on Pro | 48 Tools on Advanced |
People ask us this constantly, and I understand why. Two plans sit next to each other, one is ₹399 and the other ₹499, and the tool lists are long enough that nobody reads them properly before clicking. So you either guess, or you default to the cheaper one, or you default to the more expensive one because it says Most Popular. None of those is a way to choose a group buy plan.
Let me fix that. This is a straight comparison of both plans, with every tool named, so you can pick the right group buy plan in about five minutes. I’ll also tell you honestly when Pro is the smarter buy, because it often is, and when spending the extra hundred makes obvious sense.
The Short Answer First
If you only do SEO and basic design work, Pro at ₹399 is the right group buy plan and you can stop reading. If you also make videos, download stock assets, need premium design libraries, or do anything creative beyond graphics, Advanced at ₹499 is the better group buy plan by a wide margin, because that extra ₹100 buys about thirty more tools.
The one thing I’d say to anyone hesitating: the gap between these two plans is one hundred rupees a month. That’s less than a single coffee. If even three tools on the Advanced list are ones you’d otherwise pay for separately, the maths has already answered your question. But let me show you the actual lists so you can judge rather than take my word.
What You Get on the Pro Plan (₹399)
Pro is marketed for growing teams and gives you 20-plus tools, with 18 named on the plan card. This group buy plan is built around one idea: the SEO and design essentials, done properly. Here’s the full list, grouped so it makes sense.
| Category | Tools on the Pro Plan |
|---|---|
| SEO | Semrush, Moz Pro, Seobility, Ubersuggest, SEO Testeronline, SEO Site Checkup, AnswerThePublic |
| Design | Canva, Glorify, Vista Create, Flaticon, Creatopy Plus, PicMonkey |
| Writing | Grammarly, QuillBot, Wordtune |
| Learning | LinkedIn Learning, Scribd |
Look at what that covers. Semrush and Moz Pro are the two heavyweight SEO platforms, and having both on a ₹399 group buy plan is the headline of this whole comparison. Add Ubersuggest and AnswerThePublic for keyword and topic ideas, Seobility and SEO Site Checkup for audits, and your entire SEO workflow is handled from research through to technical checks.
On the creative side, Canva does most everyday design, Glorify handles product images for e-commerce, Flaticon gives you icons and Creatopy Plus does ad creative. Grammarly, QuillBot and Wordtune cover writing, editing and rephrasing. It’s a tight, sensible kit with no obvious holes for a content-and-SEO person.
| Who the Pro Plan is actually right for Don’t upgrade out of habit. Pro is the correct choice if your work sits squarely in SEO, content and light design: bloggers, SEO freelancers, content writers, agency juniors doing keyword and audit work, and small business owners who need Canva plus a proper SEO tool. If your week is keyword research, writing, on-page fixes and the occasional graphic, everything you touch is already on Pro and the Advanced extras would sit unused. Paying ₹100 for tools you never open is not a saving, it’s just a smaller waste. Pro at ₹399 is a complete group buy plan for that profile, full stop. |
What You Get on the Advanced Plan (₹499)
Advanced is the Most Popular group buy plan and it’s a different animal. Everything on Pro is included, then roughly thirty more tools are stacked on top. Here’s the full list.
| Category | Tools added on top of Pro |
|---|---|
| Stock & assets | Envato Elements, Storyblocks, Freepik, Epidemic Sound, Icons8, Placeit |
| Deeper SEO | KWFinder, Serpstat, SpyFu, WriterZen, Storybase, BuzzStream, Woorank |
| Video | InVideo, VidIQ, Fomoclips, TubeMagic |
| Design & web | Relume, SketchGenius, HumanPal, PluginPress |
| Writing | Writecream AI, Linguix |
| Learning | Skillshare, Slidebean, SlideShare |
| Entertainment | Netflix, Prime Video |
Now look at what those additions actually change. The stock library group is the big one. Envato Elements, Storyblocks, Freepik and Epidemic Sound between them cover templates, video footage, graphics and music. Those four alone cost serious money bought individually, and on the Advanced group buy plan they arrive for the ₹100 difference.
The video block matters too. InVideo for editing, VidIQ for YouTube optimisation, Fomoclips and TubeMagic for short-form and channel work. If you touch video at all, none of that exists on Pro. Then there’s the deeper SEO layer: KWFinder, Serpstat, SpyFu for competitor research, WriterZen and Storybase for content planning, BuzzStream for outreach.
| Who the Advanced Plan is right for Advanced is the answer if your work goes beyond words and graphics. YouTubers and video creators, because InVideo, VidIQ and the stock footage libraries are all here. Designers and agencies, because Envato Elements, Freepik, Placeit and Icons8 replace several separate subscriptions. Serious SEO people, because SpyFu, Serpstat and KWFinder add competitor intelligence Pro doesn’t have. And anyone building websites, since Relume and PluginPress live here. If two or more of those describe you, Advanced is the obvious group buy plan and the decision takes about four seconds. |
Side by Side
| What matters | Pro Plan | Advanced Plan |

| Canva & design basics | Yes | Yes |
| Grammarly, QuillBot | Yes | Yes |
| Stock libraries | No | Envato, Storyblocks, Freepik, Epidemic Sound |

The ₹100 Question, Answered Properly
Here’s the honest way to think about the gap between the two group buy plan options. Don’t compare 18 tools against 48, because tool counts are marketing. Compare what you’d otherwise pay for.
Take one example. If you currently pay for a stock subscription of any kind, footage, templates, music or graphics, that alone typically runs into thousands of rupees a month at retail. Advanced includes four such libraries. The ₹100 difference is recovered several times over before you’ve touched anything else on the list. Same story if you pay separately for a video editor or a YouTube tool.
But flip it around, because this cuts both ways. If you don’t make videos, don’t download stock, don’t build websites and don’t do competitor research, then those thirty extra tools are decoration. Pro is the correct group buy plan for you and the extra hundred buys nothing you’d use. I’d rather you picked the cheaper plan and were happy than upgraded and felt daft about it.
| A two-minute test that settles it Try this before you buy. Open a note and write down every tool or subscription you currently pay for, plus any you’ve wanted but skipped because of price. Now scan the Advanced list above for those names. If two or more show up, take Advanced, the maths is already in your favour and it isn’t close. If none do, and your work really is just SEO, writing and Canva, take Pro. This takes two minutes and it beats guessing from the plan cards, which is how most people choose a group buy plan and why so many end up on the wrong one. |
What’s Actually in Those Extra Tools
Names on a list don’t mean much, so let me quickly explain the additions that carry the most weight.
The stock and asset group
Envato Elements is templates, graphics, fonts and effects. Storyblocks is stock video footage. Freepik covers vectors and graphics. Epidemic Sound handles background music for videos, which matters because using the wrong music gets a video claimed or muted. Icons8 and Placeit round it out with icons and mockups. For any creator, this cluster is the single strongest reason to pick the Advanced group buy plan over the cheaper one.
The video group
InVideo is a browser video editor with templates. VidIQ is the YouTube optimisation tool for keywords, tags and competitor tracking. TubeMagic and Fomoclips help with channel work and short-form clips. If you run a YouTube channel or make reels, these four change your week. If you don’t, they change nothing.
The competitor SEO group
SpyFu shows what competitors bid on and rank for. Serpstat is an all-in-one SEO platform. KWFinder is a well-liked keyword tool with clean difficulty scores. WriterZen and Storybase help plan content around topics rather than single keywords. Pro gives you strong SEO; Advanced adds the layer where you study rivals rather than just your own site.
The bonus group
Netflix and Prime Video are on the Advanced list too. They’re not work tools and I’m not going to pretend they justify a business decision, but they’re there, and for a lot of people they quietly cover a subscription they were already paying for at home.
| The difference between the two plans ₹100 18 tools on Pro against 48 on Advanced · roughly thirty extra tools for one hundred rupees a month · billed in INR via UPI · no auto-renewal |
Two Real Examples
Abstract advice is useless, so here are two people and what I’d tell each of them.
The blogger. Priya writes for her own site, does her own keyword research, edits her drafts, and makes the occasional featured image in Canva. She doesn’t do video. Everything Priya touches in a normal week is on Pro: Semrush and Ubersuggest for keywords, Grammarly and QuillBot for the writing, Canva for images, Seobility for the technical check. Advanced would give her thirty tools she’d open once out of curiosity. Pro at ₹399 is her group buy plan and she should spend the saved ₹100 elsewhere.
The creator. Rohit runs a YouTube channel and does freelance design on the side. His week involves editing video, finding footage and music, making thumbnails, checking what rival channels rank for, and sending client mockups. On Pro he’d be stuck almost immediately, no stock footage, no music, no video editor, no VidIQ. On Advanced he gets InVideo, Storyblocks, Epidemic Sound, Envato Elements, Freepik, Placeit and VidIQ, which is most of his toolkit in one place. For Rohit the Advanced group buy plan isn’t a close call at all.
What About the Other Plans?
Worth knowing what sits either side of these two, so you can be sure you’re comparing the right pair.
| Plan | Price | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Lite | ₹199/month | Beginners testing the water with a handful of tools |
| Pro | ₹399/month | SEO, content and light design work |
| Advanced | ₹499/month | Creators, designers and agencies wanting breadth |
| AI Plan | ₹1,999/month | 40+ AI image and video models for AI-first work |
One clarification people get wrong. The AI Plan is a different thing entirely, not a bigger version of Advanced. It’s built around AI generation models like Flux 2, Nano Banana, GPT Image, Google Imagen and Kling, for people whose work is making AI images and video. If you want SEO and design tools, Pro or Advanced is your group buy plan. If you want to generate AI visuals at volume, that’s the AI Plan. Different jobs, different plans.
| My straight recommendation For most people reading this, Advanced at ₹499 is the better buy, and that’s not me upselling. It’s because the stock libraries alone, Envato Elements, Storyblocks, Freepik and Epidemic Sound, are worth more than the ₹100 gap for anyone who makes content of any kind. But if you’re a pure SEO or writing person who never downloads assets and never touches video, Pro at ₹399 is complete and you should take it without hesitation. The wrong move is picking on price alone in either direction. Match the list to your actual week and the right group buy plan is obvious. |
Mistakes People Make Picking Between These Two
I’ve watched enough people choose badly to spot the patterns, so here are the three that come up most.
Buying on tool count alone
Forty-eight sounds better than eighteen, so people reach for Advanced without checking what those thirty extras are. If none of them fit your work, you’ve paid for a longer list, not a better group buy plan. The number on the card is not the value.
Being too frugal in the other direction
The opposite mistake is just as common. Someone takes Pro to save ₹100, then keeps paying separately for a stock site or a video tool that was sitting on the Advanced list the whole time. Now they’re spending more overall than if they’d just picked the right group buy plan at the start. Check the list before you economise.
Assuming pricier means more advanced
Plans aren’t a ladder where each rung is strictly better. The AI Plan costs more than Advanced but has a completely different purpose, and taking it when you needed SEO tools would leave you worse off. Same logic applies here: Advanced isn’t Pro with extra credit, it’s Pro plus a creative and video layer. If you don’t need that layer, the cheaper group buy plan really is the better product for you.
How Payment and Access Work
A few practical things that apply to either plan. Everything is billed in rupees through Razorpay and UPI apps like PhonePe, GPay and Paytm, so there’s no dollar conversion or international card needed. Neither plan auto-renews, which means you decide each month whether to continue rather than discovering a charge you forgot about.
Support on either group buy plan runs on WhatsApp during Indian hours, roughly 10am to 11pm, so you’re messaging on the app you already use instead of filing a ticket and waiting. Access is through managed accounts, and you can move between plans, so starting on Pro and stepping up to Advanced later if your work changes is straightforward. Nothing about picking a group buy plan today locks you in forever.
The Bottom Line
Here’s where I land after laying both lists out. The Pro Plan at ₹399 is a properly complete kit for SEO and content work, and the presence of both Semrush and Moz Pro at that price is the reason it exists. Nobody doing keyword research, writing and light design needs a bigger group buy plan than this.
The Advanced Plan at ₹499 is the one most people should take, because most people’s work has drifted into visuals and video whether they planned it or not. Four stock libraries, a video editor, YouTube tools and competitor SEO for one hundred rupees more is not a close contest if you use even a few of them. Read both lists against your own week, count how many names you’d otherwise pay for, and the right group buy plan picks itself. That’s the whole decision, and it should take five minutes rather than five days.
Questions People Actually Ask
What’s the difference between the Pro and Advanced group buy plan?
Price and breadth. Pro is ₹399 a month with 18 tools covering SEO, design and writing. Advanced is ₹499 with 48 tools, everything on Pro plus roughly thirty more, including Envato Elements, Storyblocks, Freepik, Epidemic Sound, InVideo, VidIQ, SpyFu, Serpstat and KWFinder. The gap is ₹100 a month.
Which plan should I choose?
If your work is SEO, writing and light design in Canva, Pro at ₹399 covers everything you’d touch. If you make videos, download stock assets, build websites or do competitor research, take Advanced at ₹499. A quick test: list the subscriptions you already pay for, and if two or more appear on the Advanced list, that’s your group buy plan.
Does the Pro Plan include Semrush?
Yes. Both Semrush and Moz Pro are on the Pro Plan at ₹399, alongside Seobility, Ubersuggest, AnswerThePublic, SEO Testeronline and SEO Site Checkup. Having the two major SEO platforms on the cheaper plan is the main reason Pro works so well for bloggers and SEO freelancers.
What does Advanced add that Pro doesn’t have?
Four stock libraries (Envato Elements, Storyblocks, Freepik, Epidemic Sound), video tools (InVideo, VidIQ, Fomoclips, TubeMagic), competitor SEO (SpyFu, Serpstat, KWFinder, Woorank), design and web tools (Relume, Placeit, Icons8, SketchGenius), plus Skillshare, Slidebean, Netflix and Prime Video.
Is the AI Plan just a bigger Advanced Plan?
No, it’s built for a different job. The AI Plan at ₹1,999 is about AI generation models like Flux 2, Nano Banana, GPT Image, Google Imagen and Kling, for people creating AI images and video at volume. Pro and Advanced are SEO, design and creator toolkits. Pick based on the work you do, not the price order.
Can I pay in Indian Rupees and switch plans later?
Yes to both. Every group buy plan is billed in INR via Razorpay and UPI apps like PhonePe, GPay and Paytm, with no international card needed. Nothing auto-renews, so you choose each month, and you can move up from Pro to Advanced later if your work changes. Support is on WhatsApp during Indian hours.
