## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.8 out of 4**, graded Oct 23, 2026. Keyword.io is a free web tool that collects autocomplete suggestions from Google, Amazon, YouTube, eBay, TikTok and seven other sites, with no account needed to search. It shows suggestions only: no volume, CPC, difficulty or trend data. Amazon and some other sources are rate limited, and there's no API. You'll need a second tool to decide which ideas are worth writing about.

- **Value for money: A.** Free outright, with no paid plan at all. Every source, saved lists, text export and the question generator cost $0.
- **Free plan and trial: A.** Searches need no account, and lists need only a free one. The one limit: Amazon and some other sources are rate limited, while Google, YouTube, Bing and Wikipedia aren't.
- **Features: D.** One narrow job: autocomplete suggestions from 12 sites, plus 20 question phrasings at a time. There's no search volume, CPC, difficulty or trend data, so you need another tool to choose between the ideas.
- **Ease of use: B.** No rating on record. There's nothing to set up: type a word, pick a source, get a list. Searching needs no sign-up.
- **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web only, with no integrations or API. Lists go out as text or to your clipboard.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** Keyword.io is free, so making your own would save you nothing. And it is not the kind of software a weekend replaces. It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.8 is higher than 44 of the 51 other keyword research tools we grade.

- You could not: Search volumes for millions of keywords, gathered and kept up to date.
- You could not: Search data for YouTube topics and channels.
