How we grade them

	2.0GPAKeyword CupidFair	2.6GPAKeywordClustering.netGood
Value for money	CStarter is $9.99 a month, inside this category's cheapest quarter, but it only clusters 500 keywords a month. Geotargeting, your own data and briefs need Freelancer at $49.99, and there's no yearly plan to bring that down.	AFree, with no paid tiers at all. Every feature, up to 10,000 keywords a job, with volumes and CPC brought in from Keywords Everywhere.
Free plan and trial	CNo free plan, but a 7-day trial that doesn't turn into a paid plan when it ends. The listing doesn't say whether it costs anything; the terms only say money paid for a trial isn't refunded.	ANothing to pay. Your daily limit follows your Keywords Everywhere plan, from 5,000 keywords a day on its free plan to 200,000 on Platinum.
Features	DIt does one narrow part of the job, grouping a keyword list into pages and silos from live search results, with confidence scores, a mind map and briefs from Freelancer. Finding the keywords is left to other tools.	DIt clusters by intent, names each cluster, suggests a page for it and draws a bubble map, but that's one job, and it needs Keywords Everywhere to work at all. Clusters can't be edited once made, either.
Ease of use	CNo rating on record. You bring a list, choose location, device and engine, then read a tree of pages and silos with confidence scores, which takes a little learning.	CNo rating on record. Pasting a list is easy, but first you need a Keywords Everywhere account and its API key to log in.
Platforms and integrations	BWeb only, with no desktop or phone app. It connects to Google Search Console and Google Analytics, though there's no API on record.	CWeb only, with no API of its own. It imports Keywords Everywhere Favorites and exports to CSV, Excel or a share link.

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.
