Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.2
GPA, above 12 of the 51 other keyword research tools we grade
Keyword Magic, styled KeywordMagic, is a web-based keyword research tool. A seed keyword expands into related phrases, questions and long-tail variations with volume, difficulty, intent, CPC and a 12-month trend, across 170+ countries. Opening a keyword fetches the live Google top 10 and builds an AI content brief from it, ready to paste into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Keyword Magic, taken from its own pages and our grades.
No rating on record, but there's nothing to set up.
- 1
Best for keyword research for people who write with AI
That's all it covers: no rank tracking, audits or backlinks.
- 2
Paid plans start at $15 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $15 per month for 200 actions, billed monthly.
- 3
There is a free plan
5 actions a month with every feature, including AI content briefs, search history, bookmarks and CSV export. No card needed.
- 4
It runs on Web
Web.
- 5
Keyword expansion
One seed keyword expands into hundreds of related phrases, questions and long-tail variations, ranked by opportunity.
- 6
Volume, difficulty and intent
Each keyword shows search volume, a difficulty score, competition, CPC, AI-detected intent and a 12-month volume trend.
- 7
Live SERP preview
Opening a keyword fetches the current Google top 10 for the chosen country, rather than a stored copy.
- 8
A 2.2 GPA, above 12 of 51
That is against the other keyword research tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.

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.

The report card
Best for keyword research for people who write with AI
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
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 Keyword Magic is for
- Fits if you research a few keywords a week and draft posts with an AI model
- Works for a solo blogger who wants volume and difficulty without a full SEO suite
Who it is not for
- Not for you if you work in a team, as accounts are for one person only
- Skip it if you want rank tracking, audits or backlinks, which the vendor says it doesn't do
- Tight if you stay free, at 5 actions a month, where one search, one SERP fetch or one brief is an action
- Watch out: refunds cover only the latest payment, and only if it was a mistake or no actions were used
- Watch out: it's web only with no integrations or API, so briefs are copied into your AI model by hand
Good to know
Good for
- Bloggers who research a few keywords a week and write with an AI model
- People who want volume and live SERPs without paying for a full SEO suite
Worth knowing
- The free plan's 5 actions a month are enough to try it, not to work with it.
- There is no rank tracking, site audit or backlink analysis, as the vendor's own FAQ says.
- Accounts are for one person; team accounts are not supported.
- Refunds cover only the latest payment, and only if charged by mistake or before any actions were used.

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 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.
What you could not
- Search volumes for millions of keywords, gathered and kept up to date.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Keyword Magic’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.
