Paid plans add deeper searches, CSV export, bulk searches, an API and an MCP server, depending on the tier. It is made by Candour. - **Category:** Keyword Research Tools - **Made by:** Candour - **Website:** https://alsoasked.com - **Runs on:** Web - **Who should skip it:** Skip it if your topics rarely show a People Also Ask box, as there's then nothing to map. - **Facts last checked:** Oct 23, 2026 ## Pricing As of Oct 23, 2026, AlsoAsked has a free plan, and paid plans start at $12 per month, billed annually ($15 billed monthly), plus tax. - **Pricing model:** Free plan - **Free plan:** A small monthly allowance of searches without signing up; the vendor does not publish the exact number. - **Free trial:** None listed. | Plan | Price | What you get | | --- | --- | --- | | Free | $0 | A limited number of standard searches each month for visitors who are not signed in. | | Basic | $12 per month for 100 credits, billed annually ($15 billed monthly) | Unlimited users, all regions and languages, PNG export and 24 hours of search history.

Source: https://alsoasked.com/pricing ## Key features - **Live People Also Ask data:** Each search pulls the questions Google shows right now and lays them out as a tree, so new questions can appear within hours of a news event. - **Location and language targeting:** Search any country, down to city level, in any language Google supports, to see how questions differ by market. - **Deep search:** On Lite and Pro, a deep search goes three levels into the questions, about 100 on average, and costs 4 credits instead of 1. - **Exports:** Every paid plan exports results as PNG images for writers or clients; CSV export starts at Lite. - **Bulk search and API:** Pro adds bulk searches from a CSV upload, an API with webhooks, and pay-as-you-go credits on top of the monthly allowance. - **MCP server:** Pro accounts can connect AlsoAsked to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code or Claude Code and run searches from a chat. ## Good for - Writers building FAQ sections and content briefs around real questions - SEOs mapping search intent for a topic in a given country or city - Teams that want question data inside AI assistants or their own scripts ## Worth knowing - It only returns results when Google shows a People Also Ask box for the search. - Bulk searches, the API and the MCP server are only on the Pro plan. - Basic keeps search history for just 24 hours and has no CSV export. - Prices are shown before tax, which is added at checkout. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 2.6 out of 4**, graded Oct 23, 2026. 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. - **Value for money: B.** Basic 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. - **Free plan and trial: C.** You 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. - **Features: C.** Live 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. - **Ease of use: B.** No 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. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web 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.
