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

  • Skip it if your topics rarely show a People Also Ask box, as there's then nothing to map
  • 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 SERP Keyword Extractor if

  • Fits if you build keyword lists in a spreadsheet from what Google and Bing suggest
  • Works for researchers who want their searches kept on their own machine

Look elsewhere if

  • Skip it if you need search volumes or difficulty, as it only collects the phrases on the page
  • Watch out: autocomplete is caught only while the search box is showing it, and site: searches are never auto-captured
  • Not for you if you browse in Safari, as only Chrome and Firefox are listed
  • Watch out: the developer hasn't identified itself as a trader, so EU consumer rights don't apply

How we grade them

2.6GPAAlsoAskedGood3.0GPASERP Keyword ExtractorVery good
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 for Chrome and Firefox from searchanalyzer.io, whose Search Console platform is sold separately.
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: every extraction, the CSV and Excel exports and the local archive, with no account.
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.
CSuggestions, related searches, PAA and FAQ questions, refinements, filters and Trends queries from Google and Bing, copied as spreadsheet rows or saved as CSV or Excel. It does SERP keyword collection fully, a smaller job, with no volumes or difficulty.
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: search, press Ctrl or Cmd and the period key, and paste the rows into a spreadsheet.
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 and Firefox, so computers only, working on Google, Bing and Google Trends with no other 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.
