Which one is for you
Pick Keywords Everywhere if
- Fits if you want keyword volume while doing ordinary Google or YouTube searches
- Works for Amazon and Etsy sellers who want to know what people search there
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you search a lot, as one Google search showing 53 suggestions uses 54 credits
- Skip it if you want rank tracking or site audits, which it doesn't do
- Not for you if you want a web app, as Keyword Keg needs Gold at $480 a year
- Watch out: plans are yearly only, credits expire after 12 months, and volume and CPC vanish when they run out
- Too light for keyword research on the free version, which shows no search volume or CPC
Pick KeywordTool.io if
- Fits if you want long-tail ideas from YouTube, Amazon or TikTok and can do without the numbers
- Works for pulling keyword data into Claude or ChatGPT through the MCP server on a paid plan
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you only want search volumes, at $68 a month on yearly billing and $88 monthly
- Skip it if you need a difficulty score to judge which keywords you can win
- Not for you if you want to try the paid data first, as there's no trial, only a 30-day refund
- Watch out: only Google and Bing volumes come from the ad planners; the rest are modeled estimates
- Tight if you run lots of lookups, as Starter allows 50 requests a day across web, API and MCP
How we grade them
| 2.8GPAKeywords EverywhereGood | 2.4GPAKeywordTool.ioFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | AGraded against its alternatives. Bronze is $84 a year, $7 a month, for 100,000 credits and 1 seat, under 60% of this category's cheaper quarter. The catch is credits: one Google search showing 53 suggestions uses 54 of them. | DStarter is $68 a month on yearly billing, $88 monthly, which is in this category's dearest tenth. Every paid plan does include the API, an MCP server and volume for 50,000 keywords a day. There's no trial, only a 30-day money-back guarantee. |
| Free plan and trial | CThe extension works free with no sign-up for prompt templates, traffic and backlink data and social metrics. But search volume and cost per click, the reason most people install it, need a paid plan. | BThe free version needs no account and no card, and gives up to 750+ suggestions a search with no limit on record. One person could live on that for ideas. What you don't get is volume, CPC or competition: those are all paid. |
| Features | CVolume, CPC, competition and trends on Google, YouTube, Amazon, Bing, Etsy and more, bulk lookups, any site's keywords and backlinks, and an API and MCP server. It does keyword data fully, but that's a smaller job, with no audits or rank tracking. | CIdeas from 17 platforms, plus volume, CPC, trend history and bulk lookups on paid plans. But there's no difficulty score or competitor lookup on record, and only Google and Bing volumes come from the ad planners. |
| Ease of use | BNo rating on record, but you install the extension and the numbers appear next to the searches you already do. There's nothing to build or learn. | BNo rating on record, and nothing to set up: the free version runs without an account, so you type a word, pick a platform and read the list. |
| Platforms and integrations | BAn extension for Chrome, Firefox and Edge that works across Google, YouTube, Amazon and Etsy, with Search Console, a REST API and an MCP server for ChatGPT, Claude and Cursor. No phone app, and the web tool needs Gold. | BWeb only, with no desktop or phone app. Every paid plan has a REST API and an MCP server for Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, all drawing on the same daily request pool. |
| Best for | keyword volumes while you browse | long-tail ideas from Google and 16 other platforms |

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.
