Keywords Everywhere vs SEO Minion (2026): which should you pick?

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 SEO Minion if

• Fits if you already pay for Keywords Everywhere Silver or higher and want page checks in the same plan
• Works for checking hreflang and redirect chains on international sites, one page at a time

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you only want page checks, as it means $168 a year up front where most of this category is free
• Not for you if you want to try it first, as there's no free version and no trial
• Watch out: Keywords Everywhere bills yearly only, with no monthly option, and Bronze doesn't include it
• Too light for whole-site audits, since it checks one page or one search at a time
• Skip it if you browse in Safari, as only Chrome, Firefox and Edge are listed

Keywords Everywhere

• It runs as a browser extension for Chrome, Firefox and Edge; Keyword Keg, the web-based tool, needs Gold at $480 a year.
• Plans are billed yearly only, and credits expire 12 months after purchase; once they run out, the extension hides volume and CPC.
• Credits go quickly: a single Google search that shows 53 suggested keywords uses 54 credits.
• Extra credits are sold as top-ups, from $80 for 200,000 credits (40 cents per 1,000) down to 16 cents per 1,000 in bulk.

SEO Minion

• It needs a Keywords Everywhere Silver, Gold or Platinum plan and its API key; there is no separate free version.
• Keywords Everywhere plans are billed annually only, with no monthly option.
• It checks one page or one search at a time and does not crawl whole sites.
• It is listed for Chrome, Firefox and Edge, with no Safari version.
