Higher plans add your own keyword data, on-page stats from top results, content briefs and a writing service. - **Category:** Keyword Research Tools - **Made by:** Keyword Cupid LLC - **Website:** https://keywordcupid.com - **Runs on:** Web - **Who should skip it:** Skip it if you need a tool that finds keywords as well as grouping them. - **Facts last checked:** Oct 23, 2026 ## Pricing As of Oct 23, 2026, Keyword Cupid is a paid product with a free trial, starting at $9.99 per month for 500 keyword credits. - **Pricing model:** Free trial - **Free plan:** None. - **Free trial:** 7-day trial that does not roll onto a paid plan when it ends. | Plan | Price | What you get | | --- | --- | --- | | Starter | $9.99 per month for 500 keyword credits | 1 user, up to 2,000 keywords per report, simple keyword reports, mind map and Excel export. 1 credit clusters 1 keyword. | | Freelancer | $49.99 per month for 5,000 keyword credits | 5 users, 20,000 keywords per report, your own data uploads, SERP Spy, URL Analyzer, content briefs and SERP geotargeting. | | Agency | $149.99 per month for 20,000 keyword credits | 10 users, 40,000 keywords per report, up to 5 URLs analyzed, and access to the Keyword Corps group. | | Enterprise | $499.99 per month for 80,000 keyword credits | 20 users, 80,000 keywords per report and up to 10 URLs analyzed. | Read from https://keywordcupid.com/pricing/ on Oct 23, 2026.

Keyword Cupid takes a big keyword list, checks live search results and puts the keywords that share results on the same page, then sorts the pages into silos you can see as a mind map. But it doesn't find keywords for you, Starter's 500 a month won't cluster much, geotargeting and briefs start at $49.99, there's no yearly plan, and refunds are at the company's discretion. - **Value for money: C.** Starter is $9.99 a month, inside this category's cheapest quarter, but it only clusters 500 keywords a month. Geotargeting, your own data and briefs need Freelancer at $49.99, and there's no yearly plan to bring that down. - **Free plan and trial: C.** No free plan, but a 7-day trial that doesn't turn into a paid plan when it ends. The listing doesn't say whether it costs anything; the terms only say money paid for a trial isn't refunded. - **Features: D.** It does one narrow part of the job, grouping a keyword list into pages and silos from live search results, with confidence scores, a mind map and briefs from Freelancer. Finding the keywords is left to other tools. - **Ease of use: C.** No rating on record. You bring a list, choose location, device and engine, then read a tree of pages and silos with confidence scores, which takes a little learning. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web only, with no desktop or phone app. It connects to Google Search Console and Google Analytics, though there's no API on record.

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 $119.88 a year. - You could make: Internal linking: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: Search volumes for millions of keywords, gathered and kept up to date. - You could not: A score built from what the top results for each keyword cover. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
