Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.4
GPA, above 23 of the 51 other keyword research tools we grade
kwrds.ai is a web-based keyword research tool that pulls keyword ideas from Google autosuggest and other sources, with search volume, CPC, intent and competition on paid plans. It also collects Google's People Also Ask questions and drafts short or long AI answers to them. A separate set of API plans sells the same data to developers.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about kwrds.ai, taken from its own pages and our grades.
No rating on record, but there's nothing to connect or build: you type a keyword or a question and read the results.

The report card
Best for People Also Ask questions with AI answers
kwrds.ai is a web keyword research tool that pulls the People Also Ask questions Google shows and has AI draft answers, next to volumes, CPC and intent. It's research only, with no rank tracking or audit. The one web plan is $39 a month on yearly billing and stops at 1,500 queries, the free account shows only the first result, and the pricing page contradicts itself on API access.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | UI Full Access is $39 a month on yearly billing, $49 monthly, at the dear end of this category but under its dearest tenth. It's the only web plan: past 1,500 queries a month you have to ask kwrds.ai about higher limits. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A free account gets the top keyword and question lists and some free SEO tools, but its pricing FAQ says the tools show just the first result. Fine for a look. Paid plans have a 30-day money-back guarantee. |
| Features | C | Volumes with history, CPC, intent and competition in 190+ countries, PAA questions with AI answers, suggestions from Google, YouTube, TikTok, Amazon and more, URL rankings and topic reports. But it's research only: no rank tracking or site audit. |
| Ease of use | B | No rating on record, but there's nothing to connect or build: you type a keyword or a question and read the results. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web only, with a JSON API and an MCP server for Claude Desktop and Cursor. The API is sold as separate plans from $49 a month, and the pricing page contradicts itself on whether the web plan includes it. |
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 kwrds.ai is for
- Fits if you write FAQ sections and want the questions Google shows for a keyword
- Works for developers who want keyword and PAA data through an API, sold from $49 a month
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you want rank tracking or a site audit, as it only does research
- Tight if you research a lot, since the web plan stops at 1,500 queries a month and more means asking them
- Watch out: the free account shows only the first result, and the API is sold apart from the web plan
- Watch out: the pricing page contradicts itself on whether the web plan includes API access
- Pricey if you just need volumes, at $39 a month on yearly billing, and cancelling is done by email
Good to know
Good for
- Writers building FAQ sections and articles around real People Also Ask questions
- Developers adding keyword and PAA data to their own tools
- Keyword research across YouTube, TikTok, Amazon and AI chat suggestions
Worth knowing
- The web plan has one price; going past its 1,500 queries a month means contacting kwrds.ai about higher limits.
- API plans are sold separately from the web plan, and the pricing page contradicts itself on whether the web plan includes API access.
- There is no rank tracking or site audit; it is a research tool only.
- Paid plans carry a 30-day money-back guarantee; cancelling is done by email.

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 kwrds.ai 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.
It costs $468 a year.
What you could not
