Which one is for you
Pick KeyClusters if
- Fits if you have a big keyword export and need it turned into a list of pages
- Works for clustering now and then without a monthly bill, as credits never expire
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you need keyword ideas, as it only groups a list you bring
- Not for you if you want to try it free, as there's no trial or free credits
- Tight if you want looser groups, as it only joins keywords sharing 3 or more top-10 pages
- Pricey if you cluster a lot, as it's priced per keyword: 100,000 keywords is $350
- Too light for pulling results into other tools, as there's no API on record
Pick KeywordClustering.net if
- Fits if you already use Keywords Everywhere and want your export grouped into pages
- Works for planning a site's pages from a list of up to 10,000 keywords at no cost
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you don't use Keywords Everywhere, since you can't sign in without its API key
- Skip it if you like to tweak clusters by hand, as they can't be edited once made
- Skip it if your keyword lists mustn't leave the building, since they're sent to OpenAI's API
- Watch out: jobs are deleted after one year, and share links expire after 30 days at most
- Tight if you're on Keywords Everywhere's free plan, which caps you at 5,000 keywords a day

Clusters can't be edited once made, either. |
| Ease of use | BNo rating on record, but there's little to learn: upload an export as it is, pick a location and device, and a spreadsheet arrives within minutes. | CNo rating on record. Pasting a list is easy, but first you need a Keywords Everywhere account and its API key to log in. |

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.
