Best for mapping Google's People Also Ask questions
AlsoAsked runs a live Google search and maps the People Also Ask questions as a tree, so you see which question leads to which, by country, city and language. Basic is $12 a month on yearly billing, plus tax, with unlimited users. But it returns nothing when Google shows no People Also Ask box, Basic keeps history for 24 hours with no CSV export, and the API waits on Pro.
Who AlsoAsked is for
- Fits if you write FAQ sections and briefs around the questions Google shows today
- Works for teams that need to compare questions across countries or cities
Who AlsoAsked is not for
- Skip it if your topics rarely show a People Also Ask box, as there's then nothing to map
- Tight if you're on Basic, with 100 searches, 24 hours of history and no CSV export
- Pricey if you want the API, MCP or bulk searches, which are Pro only at $47 a month on yearly billing
- Watch out: the free allowance isn't published, there's no trial of paid plans, and tax is added at checkout
Why AlsoAsked gets a 2.6
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- BValue for moneyBasic is $12 a month on yearly billing, $15 monthly, plus tax, which is inside this category's cheapest quarter. That's 100 searches a month for unlimited users. CSV export needs Lite at $23, and the API waits on Pro at $47.
- CFree plan and trialYou get a few searches a month without signing up, though AlsoAsked doesn't say how many. There's no trial of the paid plans, so that small allowance is all you can try.
- CFeaturesLive People Also Ask questions as a tree, by country, city and language, with deep searches about 100 questions down, bulk runs and exports. It does that one job fully, but it's a smaller job, and it returns nothing when Google shows no PAA box.
- BEase of useNo rating on record, but there's nothing to set up: you don't even need to sign in. Type a question and the tree draws itself.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with no desktop or phone app. Pro adds an API with webhooks and an MCP server for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and VS Code, and it works with Screaming Frog.

Keep AlsoAsked, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace AlsoAsked you would be making search volumes for millions of keywords, gathered and kept up to date. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.6 is higher than 38 of the 51 other keyword research tools we grade. It costs $144 a year.
What you could not
- Search volumes for millions of keywords, gathered and kept up to date.
- It plugs into other products, Screaming Frog, ChatGPT and Claude among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. AlsoAsked’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is AlsoAsked?
AlsoAsked runs a live Google search and maps the People Also Ask questions that appear for it, showing which questions lead on to which. Searches can target a country, city and language.

Worth knowing
- It only returns results when Google shows a People Also Ask box for the search.
