When Google is shutting it down.. is there a payed version to have access to the google keyword planner ? Or what’s their plan ? How could you use that tool it in future ? Thank you ! Reply
Hey Bernhard – It’s already happened. To still use the tool you will just need to have an active AdWords account with an active spend, I don’t think there’s a real minimum so could be as little as $20/month. Reply
Not sure how you deal with news. But I found an alternative for keyword research for $1 a month at rankbrain.me . Can’t beat that! Reply
Great list, Nick. I use KW Finder, it’s a good tool with comparatively better data set. My only gripe is number of analysis for free users is limited. You can check it out. Reply
Thanks Edmond – That’s a good call, I’ve also used and liked it. I’m going to add it to this list here where appropriate. Reply
I set up an account today and created a campaign and put it on pause and can access the keyword planner, Reply
Super useful list! I’ve been toying with a couple keyword solutions in anticipation of the Google Keyword limitation (I haven’t spent anything on AdWords in about five years so I’ve been looking to see what makes the most sense in terms of $$$ spent to the power of the feature set offered.) Love reading your stuff, man! Reply
i use Übersuggest for a very very long time (a good online alternative keywortool.io) I just recently found answerthepublic an amazing a super-simple tool!) Reply
Hi guys, great article. I’ve been using http://www.KWFinder.com for some time and it’s my favourite tools as it has many other useful metrics and stuff 🙂 Reply
Good list indeed. I would also recommend to check keysearch and kwfinder in a paid and free trial segment. They also do the job very well Reply
Great list! I’m particularly fond of list style articles because they’re so much easy to digest and they look well-organized. I love free stuffs. Reply
Thanks and Great list, Nick. I never heard a SERPSWoo. I would like to add up here two more tools, which might help other users. KeywordKeg.com Kwfinder.com I personally tried those tools but when its come to search volume it was not close enough what google adwords showing. Whats your thoughts?.. Reply
Thanks for the update about Keyword Planner and for sharing this Keyword Planner tools! Google shouldn’t remove the free access, it’s very helpful especially to digital marketers. Reply
I agree with you Christine, it is very helpful to all digital marketers like me. Maybe there is a reason why google remove it? Reply
I agree with you that keyword analyze is very important for us and also being a part of our search engine optimization ( SEO ) process. But Recently the Google Keyword Planner is not shows the exact search volume anymore (they give us a range number as the result), what I want to ask here is : Do you know some other tools or websites to give us the exact search volume? Reply
Yes a number of the tools in this post show search volume, but also SEMRush maintains their own index and still shows search volume at the keyword level. Reply
Great list of tools, but you have missed one of a great keyword analysis tool – KeywordXP Pro. It is easy to use, effective keyword analysis tool. It gives you keywords along with suggested phrases and long-tail keywords which people search for. For more details pls visit – https://greedeals.com/deal/keyword-analysis-tool/ Reply
I am still using Google Keyword planner but they are not providing the exact traffic on keywords and that why i have installed KeywordsEverywhere on Chrome so i can get exact traffic for the website. Reply
Hey, Nick! Great list, man! If you decide to update your post, you may find more tools here – https://fortunelords.com/seo-tools. Let me know if you need my help – you have my email. Best, Danny Reply
Thanks, Nick! Great overview with important details. What do you think about also free keyword research tool as http://kparser.com? Our team has developed it for own needs. But our colleagues have loved it in one day. So, we are happy to share it with everyone seo master. I’ll be happy to see your conclusion about our tool. Reply
Geez. This is a interesting informative list on current keyword tools. However, the old time premier tool which has now moved to cloud version, doesn’t seem to even get a mention here. I still use Long Tail Pro in its new Platinum Cloud version. It still has the” keyword competition” data which seems to be a good guide. I do get a discount as a long time customer and feel the tool is worth what I pay for sure. I do also kinda compare results with KWFinder. Just not sure why Long Tail Pro never got a mention here.Their customer support has improved significantly recently! They seem to be catching up on the changeover issues that occurred to the cloud version Reply
Thanks for reading and for the feedback, Dan. We plan to update this post with more tools in the near future. Reply
Really great list, Nick! Thanks for that. I think you have a big experience and understanding in the keyword research tools. Can you share your opinion about our internal similar long tail tool? – https://kparser.com I hope you’ll find some really unique functions in usability for yourself. Reply

Hi Nick, Indeed, your post is of great value for a newcomer in SEO like me. However, I am just wondering whether or not there is any tool that could suggest relevant keywords (be it long tail or short tail) by just entering URL? This may sound crazy to some of you. Did I mention I am a newcomer in SEO industry? Cheers! Reply
great article with great list really helpfull……and detail article nice one thanks to you to share this article……… Reply
SERPWoo Keyword Finder isn’t free, unless I’m missing some tiny hidden link among all the paid ones on their maze of a site. Reply
Hey Sean – You’re right.. when I first created this post they still had a free tier, seems that’s all gone now :/ Reply
Nice post . Great list of Keyword Research tools. Really helpful this article. I am using google keyword research tools it perfectly work for me. Thank you for this article. Reply
Great list! But I did a comparison between Answer the Public and its alternative tool Kparser – https://kparser.com/answer-the-public-alternative/ and what do you think? I’ll never recommend you Answer the Public, because in comparison of what suggested Kparser, it were poor results. Kparser definitely has more sources for keyword search! I also prefer to filter results with advanced filters Kparser have. I’m amazed of this tool! Highly recommend! Reply
Thank you for your article and that you taking the time and effort to write it. I really like your division into Free with Account, Free without Account and Paid Tools, had never seen such an approach before. I would recommend adding one another K-meta tool to the list of Free with Account keywords research tools. Because with its help you receive tons of keywords with the important SEO metrics. It includes many features for keywords research like Phrase match with a huge keywords database, SE Suggestion to find Google autocomplete, Related keywords. + all this data can be downloaded in CSV format. I think many people will find this tool useful for their work. Recommend to try! And thank you for your work! Reply
I’m happy to see one of my favorites, SERPWoo Keyword Finder, on this list. I’ve been using it ever since I found it through https://alternatives.co. It’s a definite life saver! Reply
Your list is significant!! Hard work is appreciated. I would like to make it more helpful by adding Ubersuggest. I love it. Thanks, Nick. Reply
