Keywords Everywhere: cost, fit and limits

Keywords Everywhere is a keyword research browser extension and web service, listed for Chrome, Firefox and Edge, that shows search volume, cost per click and competition beside results on more than 15 sites. It sells annual credit plans for freelancers, agencies and in-house SEOs.

What to know first

Keywords Everywhere sells credits, not seats alone: Bronze gives 100,000 a year for $84, and one credit pays for one keyword. Every plan is billed annually, and credits are valid for a year from purchase. The extension offers 18 free features, including SEO difficulty and Moz link metrics. Higher tiers add seats, deeper keyword and backlink lists and Premium ChatGPT Prompts, and an MCP server connects live data to assistants.

Who Keywords Everywhere is best for

Freelancers who research inside the browser

Metrics appear next to Google, YouTube, Amazon and Etsy results, so volume and CPC are visible while browsing without opening a separate dashboard for each check.

Small teams that need seats

Silver includes 3 seats at $168 a year and Gold 10 seats at $480, a lower per-seat price than most suites when several writers share one credit pool.

Assistant users

The Live Data MCP server and 200-plus prompt templates for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and DeepSeek suit people who already draft inside an AI assistant and want live metrics.

What Keywords Everywhere does

Metrics across 15 sites
The paid plans add search volume, CPC and competition on more than 15 sites, including Google Search Console, Analytics, Trends and Keyword Planner pages, plus Bing, YouTube, Amazon and Etsy.
AI Overview metrics
A feature shows which searches now return a Google AI Overview, which helps writers decide whether a query will lose clicks to an answer box before they invest in an article.
Prompt templates
More than 200 AI prompt templates are offered for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and DeepSeek, and Silver and above add Premium ChatGPT Prompts that turn keyword data into briefs and outlines.
Live Data via MCP
An MCP server for ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor or VS Code lets an assistant query keyword data directly, a route that skips copying numbers out of the extension by hand.
Free feature set
Eighteen features are free, including SEO difficulty and Moz link metrics, so a visitor can judge fit before buying credits. Volume, CPC and competition need a paid plan.

How Keywords Everywhere handles your data

The homepage states that keywords are sent to the vendor's server only to fetch their metrics and are never stored or used for anything else. That is a specific retention claim, but the pages we read do not say where the servers are, which certifications apply, or whether data from the AI prompt features is handled differently. The footer names Keywords Everywhere without a legal entity or country. Credits are valid for one year from purchase, so account data includes credit balances for at least that period. For client work, ask for the retention rule in writing.

Where Keywords Everywhere falls short in practice

  • Annual billing only. Every plan is billed annually, and the page lists no monthly option. A buyer who wants to test for one month pays the yearly amount or uses the free features instead.
  • Depth caps per website. Bronze returns the top 1,000 keywords and backlinks per website and Platinum the top 10,000. Large sites that need full exports may find the cap tighter than in suite tools.
  • Top-ups are not priced. Credit top-up packages are linked from the pricing page, but no names or prices appear in the text we read. Running out of credits mid-year therefore carries an unknown cost.

Alternatives to Keywords Everywhere

Keywords Everywhere: common questions

How many credits does a keyword lookup use in Keywords Everywhere?

One credit equals one keyword. Bronze includes 100,000 credits a year, so it covers about 100,000 keyword lookups across 12 months. Credits stay valid for one year from purchase. The pages do not describe how backlink or AI prompt features consume credits, so check usage after a first week.

Which browsers does Keywords Everywhere support?

The vendor lists extensions for Chrome, Firefox and Edge. Metrics then appear beside results on more than 15 sites, including Google, YouTube, Amazon and Etsy. The pages do not mention Safari. If you work mostly in another browser, check the store listing before buying a year of credits.

Can I use Keywords Everywhere for free?

Yes, 18 features are free, including SEO difficulty and Moz link metrics. Search volume, CPC and competition need a paid plan, starting with Bronze at $84 billed annually. Because billing is annual only, the free features are the way to test fit before paying.

Does Keywords Everywhere store my keyword searches?

The homepage says keywords are sent to the vendor's server only to fetch their metrics and are never stored or used for anything else. It does not describe hosting location, certifications or how the AI prompt features handle text. Ask the vendor if you handle confidential client lists.

How does Keywords Everywhere connect to ChatGPT or Claude?

The vendor offers Live Data via MCP, an MCP server for ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor or VS Code, plus 200-plus prompt templates for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and DeepSeek. Silver and higher add Premium ChatGPT Prompts. The pages do not state rate limits for the MCP server.
