Keywords Everywhere for Chrome: what is free, how credits work, and what it is fastest at

The free feature set, the credit model with the publisher's own worked example, the plans as published on 10 October 2026, and where it fits beside other extensions.

Published by AI Knows Us · Updated 13 October 2026

Keywords Everywhere is a browser extension that adds keyword and competitor data to pages you are already looking at, including Google results, YouTube, Amazon and several other sites. It installs free on Chrome, Firefox and Edge, a useful set of features works immediately with no account, and the search volume, cost per click and competition figures sit behind a paid plan that is metered in credits. If you want numbers printed beside a query while you search, this is the category, and the decision comes down to which figures you need and how many keywords you will look at in a year. Everything below is taken from the publisher's own pages and the Chrome Web Store listing, checked on 10 October 2026.

This page covers Keywords Everywhere. For the wider shortlist and the ten second page check worth building into a habit, see Chrome SEO extensions.

What the store listing says

On the Chrome Web Store listing, checked 10 October 2026, the extension is published by Axeman Technology Solutions LLP, shows 1,000,000 users and a 4.5 rating from 5.7 thousand ratings, and carries the store's Featured badge alongside notes that the publisher has a good record with no history of violations and follows recommended practices for Chrome extensions. The store rounds its user counts, so read that figure as scale rather than as exact installs. The publisher's own site states more than 1.5 million marketing professionals use it.

What you get without paying

The publisher lists the free features on its free features page and states that none of them use credits. The notable ones:

  • Keyword idea widgets on a search results page: related keywords, People Also Search For, and long tail suggestions, without the volume figures.
  • SEO difficulty metrics, including on page and off page difficulty, plus a brand queries indicator.
  • Website traffic metrics, giving a monthly traffic estimate and the keywords a URL or domain ranks for.
  • Moz link metrics, including domain authority, spam score, referring domains and backlink counts.
  • Local SEO data, including business categories and identifiers such as Knowledge Graph and Business Profile IDs.
  • A Search Console visualisation that turns the performance report into tables and charts in one click.
  • Platform insights for YouTube, Instagram, Twitter or X and Pinterest, and an Instagram hashtag generator.
  • Prompt templates built into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and DeepSeek, plus an AI summary tool.

That is a genuinely useful free tier. If what you want is a quick read on a domain's traffic and link profile while you browse, you may never need a plan.

What a plan adds, and how credits work

A paid plan adds the data layer: search volume, cost per click and competition across the supported sites, twelve month trend charts, historical volume that the publisher says reaches back to 2004, bulk keyword data, the keyword finder, keyword gap analysis, organic traffic metrics, YouTube ranking metrics, and access to the REST API and an MCP server that draw on the same credit pool.

The credit model, as described on the publisher's compare plans page on 10 October 2026:

  • One credit buys the volume, cost per click, competition and twelve month trend for one keyword.
  • Credits are spent everywhere the extension shows metrics. The page gives a worked example: a Google search showing 8 related keywords, 20 People Also Search For keywords and 25 long tail keywords uses 1 plus 8 plus 20 plus 25, which is 54 credits.
  • Credits are valid for twelve months from purchase and the oldest are used first.
  • If you run out, the extension keeps showing keywords and hides the metrics until you top up.

The worked example is the important one. Casual browsing with every widget switched on spends credits far faster than most people expect, which is why the publisher also publishes guidance on conserving credits. Turn off the widgets you do not read before you start a research session.

The plans as published

From the compare plans page on 10 October 2026, billed annually:

PlanPriceCredits per yearSeatsKeywords and backlinks per website
BronzeUSD 84 per year, shown as USD 7 per month100,0001Top 1,000

PlatinumUSD 1,440 per year, shown as USD 120 per month8,000,00020Top 10,000

The publisher states that every plan includes the full extension and the API, and that the differences are how much data you pull, how many people share it, and which extra tools are bundled. Bundled items it lists are SEO Minion and premium ChatGPT prompts from Silver upwards, Keyword Keg and a course library from Gold upwards, and priority email support on Platinum. Prices and inclusions change, so read the pricing page on the day you buy.

Where the numbers appear

The publisher lists the supported surfaces as Google Search, Search Console, Google Analytics, Google Trends and Keyword Planner, plus Bing, YouTube, Amazon, eBay, Etsy, the Play Store, X or Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest, and the assistant interfaces ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and DeepSeek. The practical value of that list is that marketplace and video volumes come from the same window as web search volumes, which saves a lot of switching between tools when you are planning product titles or video topics.

Setting it up in five minutes

  1. Install from the store listing for your browser. Nothing to sign up for.
  2. Run a search and confirm the free widgets appear. If they do not, check that the extension has permission to run on the site.
  3. Get a free API key from the publisher's site, which is what links the extension to an account.
  4. Turn off every widget you do not plan to read, in the extension settings, before you buy credits.
  5. Buy the smallest plan that covers your first month, measure how fast the credits go, and size up from your own usage rather than from an estimate.

What to trust it for, and what to confirm elsewhere

  • Trust it for speed. A figure beside a query while you are already looking at the results page is the fastest way to triage a long list of ideas.
  • Trust it for relative comparison. Deciding which of two phrasings is the bigger one is the job it is best at.
  • Confirm before you build. Any volume figure that will justify a page, a product or a campaign deserves a second source and a look at your own Search Console data, because that is the only report of what your site actually earns. The habit is covered in keyword research in five steps.
  • Keep the browser tidy. Extensions that inject panels into search results make the results page crowded when several run at once. Enable the on demand ones only while you are doing research. The alternatives in the category, including Keyword Surfer and SEOquake, each do a different job best.

What people ask about Keywords Everywhere for Chrome

Is Keywords Everywhere free?

The extension installs free and the publisher lists a substantial set of free features that use no credits, including keyword idea widgets, traffic estimates, Moz link metrics and a Search Console visualisation. Search volume, cost per click, competition and trend data need a paid plan.

How many credits will I actually use?

Measure it rather than guess. The publisher's own worked example shows a single search with three widgets enabled using 54 credits, so your usage depends almost entirely on which widgets you leave switched on and how much you browse. Run a normal week on the smallest plan and read the counter.

Does it work on Firefox and Edge?

Yes. The publisher offers installs for Chrome, Firefox and Edge, and states the plan covers all three.

Where does the search volume come from?

The publisher presents it as its own data served through the extension and its API across the sites it supports, with trend charts and historical figures. Treat any third party volume as an estimate for prioritisation, and treat your own Search Console impressions as the record of what your pages earn.

Can a team share one plan?

The published plans include user seats, from one on Bronze to twenty on Platinum, and the credit pool is shared. For an agency, the seat count and the credit pool are the two numbers to size, not the headline price.

Do I need it if I already pay for a full SEO platform?

The two do different jobs. A platform is where you plan, track and report. A browser extension is for the moment you are already on a results page and want a number without opening another tab. Many practitioners run one of each and never miss the overlap.

Numbers for the search box, silence for the chat box

Keywords Everywhere puts volume and cost beside a Google result. A question typed into an assistant gets no such figure, and the tool cannot supply one that does not exist.

What you can do is read the replies. Take your five main keywords, phrase each as a full question, and see which brands the assistants put forward. AI Knows Us collects those replies for you, so the keyword list you built here gets a second column: who is being named.
