Which one is for you
Pick AlsoAsked if
- Fits if you write FAQ sections and briefs around the questions Google shows today
- Works for teams that need to compare questions across countries or cities
Look elsewhere if

- Tight if you're on Basic, with 100 searches, 24 hours of history and no CSV export
- Pricey if you want the API, MCP or bulk searches, which are Pro only at $47 a month on yearly billing
- Watch out: the free allowance isn't published, there's no trial of paid plans, and tax is added at checkout
Pick PAA Scrapper if
- Fits if you build FAQ sections and outlines from the questions Google shows
- Works for grouping a niche's questions into topics, using the parent-question column
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you need search volumes, as it collects People Also Ask questions only
- Watch out: it runs a separate Google search in your browser for each line, one after another
- Not for you if you're not on Chrome, as no other browser version is listed
- Watch out: it comes from an individual developer who hasn't identified as a trader, so EU consumer rights don't apply
How we grade them
| 2.6GPAAlsoAskedGood | 2.8GPAPAA ScrapperGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | BBasic is $12 a month on yearly billing, $15 monthly, plus tax, which is inside this category's cheapest quarter. That's 100 searches a month for unlimited users. CSV export needs Lite at $23, and the API waits on Pro at $47. | AFree with no sign-up, the store listing says, and there's no paid version. |
| Free plan and trial | CYou get a few searches a month without signing up, though AlsoAsked doesn't say how many. There's no trial of the paid plans, so that small allowance is all you can try. | AFree outright: bulk input, People Also Ask extraction and CSV export, with nothing held back. |
| Features | CLive People Also Ask questions as a tree, by country, city and language, with deep searches about 100 questions down, bulk runs and exports. It does that one job fully, but it's a smaller job, and it returns nothing when Google shows no PAA box. | DOne narrow function: People Also Ask questions for many keywords, with parent questions, snippet text and source URLs in a CSV. No volumes, nothing else from the results page and no other engine. |
| Ease of use | BNo rating on record, but there's nothing to set up: you don't even need to sign in. Type a question and the tree draws itself. | BNo rating on record, but nothing to set up: paste keywords one per line and download the CSV, with no account. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb only, with no desktop or phone app. Pro adds an API with webhooks and an MCP server for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and VS Code, and it works with Screaming Frog. | CChrome only, so computers only, working on Google Search with no integrations. |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
