Part 01 · Overview

Welcome

What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first

2.0

GPA, above 4 of the 51 other keyword research tools we grade

KeyClusters groups a list of keywords into topic clusters by checking each one against Google's live top 10 results and grouping keywords that share three or more ranking pages. You upload an export from Ahrefs, Semrush or your own file and get the groups back as a spreadsheet. It is paid for with credit packs that never expire, one credit per keyword, with no subscription.

To get you started, here are 8 things to know about KeyClusters, taken from its own pages and our grades.

  1. 1

    Best for clustering keyword exports with no subscription

    But it won't find a single new keyword for you, there's nothing free to try, and it has no API.

  2. 2

    What it costs

    Paid plans start at $19 one-time for 2,500 keyword credits.

  3. 3

    It runs on Web

    Web.

  4. 4

    SERP-based clustering

    Each keyword is run through Google and its top 10 ranking pages compared; keywords with 3 or more pages in common are put in the same cluster.

  5. 5

    Ahrefs and Semrush imports

    Upload keyword export files from Ahrefs or Semrush as they are, or a custom CSV file of your own keywords.

  6. 6

    Location and device targeting

    Run the analysis for any location and for desktop or mobile results, so clusters follow the results searchers there see.

  7. 7

    A 2.0 GPA, above 4 of 51

    That is against the other keyword research tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.

  8. 8

    Keep it

    To replace KeyClusters 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.

The report card

Best for clustering keyword exports with no subscription

KeyClusters groups your keywords by checking Google's live top 10 for each one and putting together those that share three or more pages. You upload an Ahrefs or Semrush export, or your own CSV, and get a spreadsheet back, from $19 for 2,500 keywords. But it won't find a single new keyword for you, there's nothing free to try, and it has no API.

ToolGPA report cardKeyClustersGraded Oct 23, 2026
SubjectGradeComment
Value for moneyB$19 once for 2,500 keywords, with credits that never expire and no subscription. It's priced per keyword, though, so heavy users pay as they go: 100,000 keywords is $350.
Free plan and trialFNothing free: no free plan, no free credits and no trial. The smallest way in is the $19 pack.
FeaturesCClustering from Google's live top 10, by location and device, with Ahrefs and Semrush imports and spreadsheet output. It does clustering fully, but that's a smaller job, and it can't find keywords: you bring the list.
Ease of useBNo rating on record, but there's little to learn: upload an export as it is, pick a location and device, and a spreadsheet arrives within minutes.
Platforms and integrationsCWeb only, with no API on record. It reads Ahrefs and Semrush export files and hands back CSV or Excel.
Grade point averageFair, out of 4.02.0

An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.

Who KeyClusters is for

  • Fits if you have a big keyword export and need it turned into a list of pages
  • Works for clustering now and then without a monthly bill, as credits never expire

Who it is not for

  • Skip it if you need keyword ideas, as it only groups a list you bring
  • Not for you if you want to try it free, as there's no trial or free credits
  • Tight if you want looser groups, as it only joins keywords sharing 3 or more top-10 pages
  • Pricey if you cluster a lot, as it's priced per keyword: 100,000 keywords is $350
  • Too light for pulling results into other tools, as there's no API on record

Good to know

Good for

  • SEOs turning a large keyword export into a plan of pages
  • Occasional users who would rather not pay a monthly subscription
  • Checking which keywords one page can target before writing it

Worth knowing

  • It does not find new keywords: you upload a list exported from Ahrefs or Semrush, or a file of your own.
  • No free plan, free credits or trial is offered; the smallest pack is $19 for 2,500 keywords.
  • Clusters are formed only from shared pages in Google's top 10 results, with 3 or more pages in common.

Keep it, or make your own?

Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.

Keep it

To replace KeyClusters 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.

That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 40 of the 51 other keyword research tools grade higher. It costs $19, paid once.

What you could not

  • Search volumes for millions of keywords, gathered and kept up to date.
  • A score built from what the top results for each keyword cover.

What this rests on. KeyClusters’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.
