Which one is for you
Pick Keyword Catcher if
- Fits if you run a niche site and hunt long-tail keywords with weak results on page one
- Works for writers who want a post outline next to each keyword
Look elsewhere if
- Watch out: finding keywords spends credits too, though the homepage calls keyword generation free
- Tight if you want to try it properly, as new accounts get just 10 free credits
- Watch out: prices are shown per month, but the site also calls it pay as you go with credits that never expire, and doesn't say which
- Pricey if you track AI answers, as the Brand Tracker costs 10 credits per prompt per engine and covers only ChatGPT and Gemini
- Not for you if you want the data in other tools, as there's no integration or API on record
Pick Serp Miner if
- Fits if you use the KGR method and want allintitle counts for long lists
- Works for a small site that wants 10 keywords tracked daily without paying
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you need keyword ideas, as the listing shows checkers for lists you bring, not a finder
- Tight if you're staying free, as 50 tokens a month covers 50 keywords in the allintitle checker
- Watch out: monthly tokens expire at the end of each month, and pay-as-you-go tokens after a year
- Pricey if you'd want a yearly discount, as only monthly prices are listed
- Watch out: pay-as-you-go packs leave out the rank tracker, and there's no API or integration on record
How we grade them
| 2.2GPAKeyword CatcherFair | 2.0GPASerp MinerFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CStarter is $15 for 1,500 credits, between this category's cheaper quarter and its middle. Prices are shown per month, but the site calls it pay as you go and says credits never expire, so the billing basis isn't clear. | CBasic is $29.99 a month for 5,000 tokens, at this category's dearer quarter, with no yearly plan. Pay-as-you-go is $30 for 1,000 tokens that last a year, without the rank tracker. |
| Free plan and trial | CNo free plan. New accounts get 10 free credits with no payment details, which is ten keyword analyses, and then you're buying. | CA free account gets 50 tokens a month, 300 volume checks a day and 10 keywords tracked daily or 50 weekly. The allintitle checker, the reason to come, spends one token a keyword, so 50 goes in one short list. |
| Features | CLong-tail ideas, filters for weak content, new domains and slow pages, page-one analysis with volume and trend, AI outlines, daily rank tracking and an AI Brand Tracker. It does long-tail hunting fully, but that's a smaller job, and the Brand Tracker covers only ChatGPT and Gemini. | CBulk allintitle and KGR, difficulty and weak spots from the results, volume, trends and CPC, an index checker and daily or weekly rank tracking. It checks lists fully, but the listing shows no keyword idea finder, so the keywords come from somewhere else. |
| Ease of use | BNo rating on record, but there's nothing to connect: type a seed, filter the list and click a keyword to read its results and outline. | CNo rating on record. You paste or import a list and run it, but each checker spends tokens, and the rank tracker needs your site, keywords, device, country and language set first. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb only, with no desktop or phone app, and no integrations or API on record. | CWeb only, with no desktop or phone app, and no integrations or API on record. Results leave as CSV or XLSX. |

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.
