Keywords Everywhere
Search data overlaid on the pages you already use, for $84 a year
Keywords Everywhere is a browser extension that overlays search volume, cost per click, competition, and 12-month trend data onto more than 20 sites you already browse, including Google, YouTube, Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Pinterest, Search Console, and AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini; it is priced in credits at one credit per keyword, sold as annual subscriptions from $84 for 100,000 credits per year with credits valid for twelve months.
Overview
Keywords Everywhere is the least ambitious tool in this category and one of the most used, with more than a million and a half installs. It does not have a dashboard you visit. It sits in your browser and annotates the pages where keyword questions actually occur to you: when you search Google, when you browse YouTube, when you look at an Amazon listing, when you read a Reddit thread, when you type a prompt into ChatGPT. The volume, cost per click, competition, and twelve-month trend appear inline, and the research happens without a context switch.
The tool has a well-remembered history. It launched in 2017 as a completely free extension and became ubiquitous on that basis, then moved to a paid credit model in 2019, which was received badly at the time and is now unremarkable. The current pricing is annual-only and unusually generous per dollar: Bronze at $84 per year for 100,000 credits with one seat, Silver at $168 for 400,000 credits and three seats, Gold at $480 for 2 million credits and ten seats, and Platinum at $1,440 for 8 million credits and twenty seats. One credit buys volume, cost per click, competition, and trend for one keyword, and credits stay valid for a year with the oldest consumed first.
A significant amount of the extension remains free even without credits: website traffic estimates, Moz link metrics, keyword suggestions including related terms and People Also Search For, YouTube tags, an Instagram hashtag generator, social engagement metrics, and more than 200 AI prompt templates built into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and DeepSeek. Credits are only consumed for the paid metrics. That is a rare structure, and it means the tool has real value at zero marginal cost even after your credits run out.
The 2026 additions push it further into AI territory: metrics indicating which searches trigger Google AI Overviews, an AI summary generator for YouTube and Reddit content, and an MCP integration that lets AI assistants query live keyword data directly. The last of those is genuinely forward-looking for a tool of this size, though none of it amounts to AI answer visibility tracking in the sense that Semrush, Mangools, or SE Ranking offer. Keywords Everywhere still tells you about search demand, not about whether you get cited.
Best for
Solo marketers, bloggers, ecommerce sellers, YouTubers, and small teams who want ambient search data wherever they already work, and anyone who needs several people looking at keyword data without paying per seat.
Not the right fit for
- Anyone needing a full SEO platform; there is no site audit, no rank tracker, no project structure, and no reporting, because this is an overlay rather than a tool you visit.
- Teams that need AI answer visibility tracking; the AI features here are prompt templates, AI Overview presence metrics, and an MCP data connection, none of which tell you whether ChatGPT cites your brand.
- Buyers who want to pay monthly; billing is annual only across every plan, so the smallest commitment is $84 up front even though that is a modest sum.
- Practitioners who need authoritative competitive data; the volume figures are useful for relative comparison and the link metrics come from Moz rather than a proprietary index, so this is not the tool for a disputed analysis.
- Anyone who wants a free ride; there is no free tier for the paid metrics, and the widely remembered free era ended in 2019.
How it works
- 1
You install the browser extension for Chrome, Edge, or Firefox and enter an API key from your account. From that point the extension is passive: it annotates supported pages as you browse rather than asking you to go anywhere or start anything.
- 2
On a Google search results page you get the volume, cost per click, competition, and twelve-month trend for the query you typed, plus related keywords, long-tail suggestions, and People Also Search For terms in the sidebar. The same treatment applies across more than twenty supported sites, so an Amazon product page, a YouTube video, an Etsy listing, and a Pinterest search all carry keyword data inline.
- 3
Credits are consumed at one per keyword for which paid metrics are shown. Suggestions, traffic estimates, Moz link metrics, hashtag generation, and prompt templates cost nothing. Credits are valid for one year from purchase and the oldest are always used first, so a lapse in usage does not silently forfeit the newest capacity.
- 4
The AI layer works two ways. Inside ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and DeepSeek the extension injects more than 200 ready-made prompt templates and can pull keyword data into the conversation, and the MCP integration exposes live keyword data to AI assistants directly. Separately, AI Overview metrics indicate which searches are triggering Google's generated answers, which is useful demand context even though it is not citation tracking.
Feature breakdown
26 features in 5 modulesThe overlay
Data where the question occurs to you, rather than in a dashboard you have to remember to open.- Inline keyword metrics
- Search volume, cost per click, competition, and twelve-month trend shown directly on the page for the query you are looking at, at one credit per keyword.
- More than 20 supported sites
- Google Search, Bing, YouTube, Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Instagram, Twitter or X, Pinterest, Google Search Console, Google Analytics, Google Trends, and AI assistants including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and DeepSeek.
- Keyword suggestions at no credit cost
- Related keywords, long-tail variants, and People Also Search For terms are provided free, with credits only consumed for the paid metrics attached to them.
- Website traffic estimates
- Free traffic estimates for any site you visit, alongside Moz link metrics, without spending credits.
- YouTube tags and metrics
- Extracts the tags on any YouTube video and shows SERP metrics, which is why the extension has a following well outside conventional SEO.
- Instagram hashtag generator
- Free hashtag generation and social engagement metrics, included in the extension rather than sold as a separate social tool.
AI integration
Forward-looking for a tool this small, but not AI visibility tracking.- 200-plus prompt templates
- Ready-made marketing prompt templates injected into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and DeepSeek, so the assistant page becomes part of the workflow.
- MCP integration
- Connects AI assistants to live keyword data through the Model Context Protocol, which lets a model query real search volumes rather than hallucinating them. Very few tools at this price offer that.
- AI Overview metrics
- Reports which searches are triggering Google's AI-generated answers, which is useful demand context even though it does not tell you whether you are cited within them.
- AI summary generator
- Summarises content from YouTube, Reddit, and similar platforms inline, aimed at research speed rather than at content production.
- Keyword data inside the assistant
- Pulls volume and trend data into a ChatGPT or Claude conversation directly, so content planning done with an assistant is grounded in real numbers.
Research tools
Bulk work for when the overlay is not enough.- Bulk keyword upload
- Upload a list of keywords and get metrics for all of them at one credit each, which is how most people spend the bulk of an annual allowance.
- Top keywords per website
- Returns the top ranking keywords for any domain, capped by plan at 1,000 on Bronze, 2,000 on Silver, 5,000 on Gold, and 10,000 on Platinum.
- Backlink data per website
- Top backlinks per site under the same per-plan caps, sufficient for orientation rather than for a full link audit.
- Historical trend data
- Twelve months of volume history per keyword, included in the single credit rather than charged separately, which makes seasonality visible before you commission content.
- Export
- Keyword sets export to CSV or Excel for use in a content calendar, brief, or spreadsheet model.
- Bundled companion tools
- SEO Minion access from Silver, and RapidLevelUp courses plus Keyword Keg from Gold, included rather than sold separately.
Pricing and seats
Annual only, but the seat allowance is extraordinary for the money.- One credit per keyword
- A credit buys volume, cost per click, competition, and twelve-month trend for one keyword. There is no charge for opening reports or applying filters, which is the failure mode of larger tools' credit systems.
- Credits valid for a year
- Credits expire twelve months from purchase, with the oldest consumed first, so a quiet quarter does not forfeit your newest capacity.
- Multi-seat plans as standard
- One seat on Bronze, three on Silver, ten on Gold, and twenty on Platinum. Twenty seats for $1,440 a year is roughly what two extra Ahrefs users cost per year.
- Annual billing through Paddle
- Billing is annual only, handled by Paddle with card or PayPal, cancellable at any time, with VAT, GST, or sales tax applied by location.
- Enterprise arrangements
- Larger volumes are available by request, which is the only part of the pricing that is not fully self-serve.
What stays free
Unusually, a lot.- Free suggestion engine
- Related keywords, long-tail terms, and People Also Search For data continue to work without consuming credits.
- Free Moz link metrics
- Domain and page authority figures sourced from Moz shown inline on any site, at no credit cost.
- Free social and video tools
- YouTube tag extraction, Instagram hashtag generation, and social engagement metrics all work without credits.
- Free prompt templates
- The 200-plus AI prompt templates inside ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and DeepSeek do not consume keyword credits.
Use cases
4 documentedBlogger researching while reading
Ideas arrive while browsing Reddit, YouTube, and Google rather than during a dedicated research session, and by the time a keyword tool is open the thought has gone.
The overlay puts volume and trend data on the page where the idea occurred, so a promising thread becomes a validated topic without leaving the tab.
Etsy or Amazon seller optimising listings
Product titles and tags are guesswork, and general SEO tools have no meaningful data for marketplace search behaviour.
Keywords Everywhere annotates Amazon, eBay, and Etsy searches directly with demand data, which is coverage almost no mainstream SEO tool provides.
Small team that all need keyword data
Five people occasionally need search volumes, and every serious tool charges $40 to $80 per additional seat for the privilege.
Silver at $168 per year covers three seats and Gold at $480 covers ten, which is less per year than a single extra Ahrefs seat costs per quarter.
Marketer planning content with an AI assistant
Uses ChatGPT or Claude for outlining, but the model invents search volumes and has no idea what people actually query.
The MCP integration and in-assistant data injection ground the conversation in real keyword metrics, and the built-in prompt templates remove the blank-page problem.
Pricing
from $84 per year (Bronze)Annual subscriptions bundling a yearly credit allowance and a seat count, metered at one credit per keyword for paid metrics, with a substantial set of features that consume no credits at all.
| Plan | Price | Includes |
|---|---|---|
| Bronze | $84 per year, billed annually |
For a solo operator this is roughly $7 a month for search data everywhere they browse. |
| Silver | $168 per year, billed annually |
Three seats for $168 a year is less than four days of Ahrefs' per-seat surcharge. |
| Gold | $480 per year, billed annually |
|
| Platinum | $1,440 per year, billed annually |

Billing notes
- Billing is annual only across every plan. There is no monthly option, so the minimum commitment is $84 paid up front.
- One credit buys volume, cost per click, competition, and twelve-month trend for one keyword. Nothing is charged for opening a view or applying a filter, which is a meaningful contrast with Ahrefs' report credits.
- Credits are valid for twelve months from purchase and the oldest are consumed first, so a quiet period does not forfeit your most recent purchase.
- Seat allowances are the standout: 1, 3, 10, and 20 seats across the four tiers, at a total annual price lower than one extra seat at Ahrefs or Semrush costs in a few months.
- A large part of the extension continues to work without credits, including suggestions, traffic estimates, Moz link metrics, YouTube tags, and AI prompt templates.
- Payment runs through Paddle by card or PayPal, with VAT, GST, or sales tax applied by location, and subscriptions can be cancelled at any time.
- There is no free tier for the paid metrics. The tool was free until 2019 and is not any more, which still surprises people who remember the original.
Value assessment: Per dollar, this is the cheapest useful search data on the market, and the seat allowance makes it look almost like a mistake. Bronze at $84 a year for 100,000 keyword lookups works out to under a tenth of a cent per keyword; Gold at $480 gives ten people two million lookups between them, which is roughly what one additional Ahrefs seat costs over eight months. The reason it can be this cheap is that it is not a platform: no crawler, no rank tracker, no projects, no reporting, no proprietary link index. What it sells is ambient access to demand data in the places you already work, and it sells it without the metering anxiety that makes larger tools unpleasant. For a solo operator or a small team, it is close to a default purchase alongside whatever else you use.
Strengths & limitations
Strengths
- The overlay model removes the context switch entirely, which in practice means keyword research actually happens rather than being deferred to a session that never occurs.
- Coverage across more than 20 sites including Amazon, eBay, Etsy, YouTube, and Pinterest, where mainstream SEO tools have little or no data.
- Seat allowances of 1, 3, 10, and 20 across four tiers costing $84 to $1,440 per year, against $40 to $80 per additional seat per month at Ahrefs.
- Credit metering is completely literal at one credit per keyword, with no charges for viewing reports or applying filters.
- Credits remain valid for twelve months with the oldest consumed first, so nothing is silently forfeited.
- A large amount of the extension works free of credits, including suggestions, traffic estimates, Moz link metrics, YouTube tags, and AI prompt templates.
- The MCP integration exposing live keyword data to AI assistants is genuinely ahead of the curve for a tool at this price, and stops models inventing search volumes.
Limitations
- It is an overlay, not a platform. No site audit, no rank tracking, no projects, no reporting, and no client deliverables of any kind.
- No AI answer visibility tracking. AI Overview presence metrics and prompt templates are useful, but they do not tell you whether ChatGPT or Perplexity cites your brand.
- Annual billing only, so even the cheap entry tier requires paying twelve months up front.
- Volume data is best treated as relative rather than precise, and link metrics come from Moz rather than a proprietary index, so this is not a source for a disputed competitive analysis.
- There is no free tier for paid metrics, and the tool's reputation still carries residue from the 2019 shift away from being entirely free.
- Being a browser extension, its usefulness depends on you browsing; it cannot run scheduled monitoring or alert you to anything while you are away.
- Company information is thin, with limited public disclosure about size and ownership, which some buyers with vendor review processes will find uncomfortable.
Head-to-head comparisons
5 alternativesKeywords Everywhere vs Mangools
from About $29.90 per month billed annually (Basic), or roughly $49 billed monthlyMangools is a destination you visit for a research session, with rank tracking, SERP analysis, backlinks, and AI visibility across eight engines for about $29.90 a month. Keywords Everywhere is ambient data wherever you already browse, for $84 a year. They complement each other rather than compete, and running both costs less than one Ahrefs seat.
Full Keywords Everywhere vs Mangools comparisonKeywords Everywhere vs Ubersuggest
from $29 per month (Personal), or $290 one time for a lifetime Individual licenceUbersuggest is a low-cost suite with rank tracking, site auditing, and a lifetime purchase option; Keywords Everywhere is an overlay with no dashboard at all. If you need one tool that covers the basics, take Ubersuggest. If you already have a suite and want demand data on every page you visit, Keywords Everywhere adds something Ubersuggest cannot.
Full Keywords Everywhere vs Ubersuggest comparisonKeywords Everywhere vs LowFruits
from About $25 for 2,000 pay-as-you-go credits, or about $29.90 per month for the Standard subscriptionBoth are cheap, credit-priced, and deliberately narrow, but they sit at opposite ends of the workflow. Keywords Everywhere surfaces demand data while you browse; LowFruits tells you whether a given SERP is weak enough to break into. A solo publisher running both spends under $10 a month combined and covers keyword discovery and viability properly.
Full Keywords Everywhere vs LowFruits comparisonKeywords Everywhere vs Ranktracker
from $39 per month (Launch, billed annually at $312 per year)Rank Tracker monitors positions and produces client-ready reports, which Keywords Everywhere does not attempt at all. These are not alternatives: one tells you what people search for, the other tells you where you appear. A small operation typically needs both, and the combined cost is still below a single mid-tier suite subscription.
Full Keywords Everywhere vs Ranktracker comparisonKeywords Everywhere vs SEOTesting
from $50 per month (Single Site)Both are inexpensive tools that make Google's own data more useful, but at different stages. Keywords Everywhere annotates demand while you research; SEOTesting runs controlled tests on your Search Console data to establish whether a change actually worked. Buy Keywords Everywhere to decide what to write and SEOTesting to find out whether writing it helped.
Full Keywords Everywhere vs SEOTesting comparisonImplementation & onboarding
- Setup time
- Five minutes. Install the extension for Chrome, Edge, or Firefox, paste in your API key, and the overlay starts working on the next page you load. There is nothing to configure and no project to create.
- Learning curve
- Effectively none. The tool teaches itself by appearing where you already work, which is the main reason it has more than a million and a half installs despite being a paid product.
- Onboarding
- Entirely self-serve through the website with annual payment via Paddle. Enterprise volumes are arranged by email, which is the only non-self-serve part of the product.
- Migration notes
- Nothing to migrate, since there are no projects or histories to move. Keywords Everywhere is almost always added alongside an existing setup rather than replacing one. If you switch away, exported CSVs are the only artefact you need to take with you.
Platform, API & security
- Platforms
- Chrome extensionMicrosoft Edge extensionFirefox extensionWeb account for bulk uploads and billingMCP server for AI assistants
- API
- An account API key drives the extension, and an MCP integration exposes live keyword data to AI assistants. There is no broadly documented public REST API for general application development.
- Compliance
- GDPR
- Data residency
- No customer-selectable regional hosting is advertised.
- SSO
- Not offered.
- Security notes
- As a browser extension with access to the pages you visit, Keywords Everywhere warrants the same scrutiny as any extension with broad host permissions. Review the permissions it requests before installing on a machine that handles sensitive systems. Billing runs through Paddle, so payment details are handled by the payment processor rather than the vendor.

Frequently asked questions
10 questionsWhat is Keywords Everywhere?
Keywords Everywhere is a browser extension that overlays search volume, cost per click, competition, and twelve-month trend data onto more than 20 sites you already use, including Google, YouTube, Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Pinterest, Search Console, and AI assistants such as ChatGPT and Claude. It has no dashboard of its own; the data appears where you are already looking.
How much does Keywords Everywhere cost?
Billing is annual only. Bronze is $84 per year for 100,000 credits and one seat, Silver is $168 for 400,000 credits and three seats, Gold is $480 for 2 million credits and ten seats, and Platinum is $1,440 for 8 million credits and twenty seats. Larger volumes are available by arrangement.
What does one credit buy?
One credit gets you the search volume, cost per click, competition, and twelve-month trend data for one keyword. Nothing is charged for opening a view or applying a filter, which makes cost forecasting simple compared with tools that meter report access. Credits are valid for twelve months from purchase and the oldest are consumed first.
Is Keywords Everywhere still free?
Not for the paid metrics. It was entirely free from 2017 until 2019, when it moved to the credit model, and that change is still what people remember. A substantial amount of the extension does remain free of credits though: keyword suggestions, People Also Search For terms, website traffic estimates, Moz link metrics, YouTube tags, Instagram hashtag generation, and the AI prompt templates.
How many people can use one subscription?
One seat on Bronze, three on Silver, ten on Gold, and twenty on Platinum. This is the single most striking thing about the pricing: twenty seats for $1,440 per year is comparable to what two additional Ahrefs users cost over the same period, and small teams routinely buy Silver for $168 rather than paying per-seat elsewhere.
Does Keywords Everywhere track AI search visibility?
No, not in the sense that matters. It reports which searches trigger Google AI Overviews and it integrates with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and DeepSeek through prompt templates and an MCP connection, but it does not tell you whether those models cite your brand. For citation tracking you need Mangools, Semrush, SE Ranking, or a dedicated AI visibility tool.
What is the MCP integration for?
It exposes live keyword data to AI assistants through the Model Context Protocol, so a model planning content for you can query real search volumes instead of guessing at them. Very few tools at this price offer that, and it is a meaningful quality improvement if you already plan content inside ChatGPT or Claude.
Which sites does the extension work on?
More than twenty, including Google Search, Bing, YouTube, Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Instagram, Twitter or X, Pinterest, Google Search Console, Google Analytics, Google Trends, and the AI assistants ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and DeepSeek. The marketplace coverage is the part most SEO tools cannot match.
Can Keywords Everywhere replace an SEO suite?
No. There is no site audit, no rank tracker, no projects, and no reporting. It is a data overlay, and it is designed to sit alongside whatever else you use rather than replace it. The correct comparison is not against Ahrefs but against the friction of opening a keyword tool at all, which for most people is the reason the research does not happen.
Do unused credits expire?
Yes, twelve months from purchase, with the oldest credits consumed first. That ordering matters: it means a quiet quarter uses up your older capacity rather than silently forfeiting the credits you bought most recently. Given the volumes involved, most individual users never come close to exhausting an annual allowance anyway.
Editorial verdict
Keywords Everywhere is a small tool that solves a real problem, which is that keyword research does not happen if you have to go somewhere to do it. Putting search volume, cost per click, and twelve-month trends onto Google, YouTube, Amazon, Etsy, Search Console, and ChatGPT as you browse turns research from a task into a background fact, and at $84 per year for 100,000 lookups the cost is close to irrelevant. The seat allowances make it stranger still: three people for $168 a year, ten for $480, against $40 to $80 per additional seat per month at the big suites. The 2026 MCP integration, which lets AI assistants query live keyword data rather than inventing it, is genuinely ahead of what a tool this cheap ought to ship. Understand what it is not: no crawler, no tracker, no reporting, and no AI citation tracking despite the AI branding. Buy it as a permanent companion to whatever else you run, not as a replacement for it.
