Keyword Magic is a web tool that expands a seed keyword into related phrases with volume, difficulty, intent and a 12-month trend, then builds an AI content brief from the live Google top 10. That's all it covers: no rank tracking, audits or backlinks. The free plan is 5 actions a month, Pro is $15 for 200, and accounts are for one person, so teams should look elsewhere. - **Value for money: C.** Pro is $15 a month for 200 actions, billed monthly, between this category's cheaper quarter and its middle. An action is a search, a live SERP fetch or a brief, under a fair-use policy. - **Free plan and trial: C.** The free plan has every feature and needs no card, but only 5 actions a month. That's enough to see how it works and not much else. - **Features: C.** Hundreds of related keywords per seed, with volume, difficulty, CPC, intent and trend in 170+ countries, a live top-10 fetch and AI briefs. The vendor's own FAQ says there's no rank tracking, site audit or backlink analysis. - **Ease of use: B.** No rating on record, but there's nothing to set up. Type a keyword, open one that looks good, and the brief is a paste away from ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web only, with no integrations or API. The briefs are made to paste into an AI model by hand. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from Keyword Magic's own pages on 23 October 2026.

The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/keyword-research ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** To replace Keyword Magic 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: 29 of the 51 other keyword research tools grade higher. It costs $180 a year. - You could not: Search volumes for millions of keywords, gathered and kept up to date. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
