Which one is for you
Pick KeywordsPeopleUse if
- Fits if you plan articles around the questions people ask, Reddit and Quora included
- Works for a team sharing one account, since every plan allows unlimited users
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you won't hand over a card, as the trial needs one and there's no free plan
- Tight if you're on Lite: 150 credits, no Bulk Search, and the optimizer only for sites under 1,000 clicks
- Watch out: unused credits don't roll over, and top-ups cost $0.05 to $0.08 each with a 50-credit minimum
- Skip it if you want volume and difficulty next to every keyword, as the listing shows neither
- Pricey if you run many sites, as each extra Content Optimizer slot is $10 a month
Pick QuestionDB if
- Fits if you write FAQ sections and want the questions people ask on Reddit and Quora
- Works for a writer doing up to 100 question searches a month on Solo at $9.99
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you're staying free, at 5 searches a month with no volume, difficulty or exports
- Skip it if you want keyword data in other tools, as there's no API or integration on record
- Not for you if you like paying yearly for a discount, as only monthly prices are listed
- Too light for rank tracking or competitor research, which it doesn't do
- Watch out: the paid plans differ only in searches, so heavy use means $29.99 or $69.99 a month

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.
