What does Keysearch cost, and how many searches a day do you get?
Summary
Keysearch has two plans. Starter is $24 a month with 200 keyword searches a day, and Pro is $48 a month with 500. The daily search cap and the tracked-keyword allowance set the real limit: 80 tracked keywords on Starter and 200 on Pro. Pro also adds Foresight and more AI credits. Both plans start with a 7-day free trial, and Keysearch says monthly plans carry no long-term commitment.
What Starter and Pro include
Keysearch's pricing page lists both plans at a monthly price. Paying monthly for a full year comes to $288 on Starter, which is $24 times twelve. Pro comes to $576, which is $48 times twelve.
| Limit | Starter ($24/month) | Pro ($48/month) |
|---|---|---|
| Keyword searches | 200 per day | 500 per day |
| Tracked keywords | 80 per month | 200 per month |
| Audited pages | 2K per month | 5K per month |
| AI credits | 5K per month | 15K per month |
Foresight comes only with Pro. The page also gives AI credits as a monthly allocation for each plan. Keysearch's page states "no hidden fees, no long-term contracts, no surprises," and says you can cancel anytime.
What the daily limits mean in practice
A daily cap works differently from a monthly pool. If you skip a day, those searches don't build up for later. Over a 30-day month, Starter allows up to 6,000 searches (200 times 30). Pro allows up to 15,000 (500 times 30).
Per search, that works out to $0.40 per 100 searches on Starter ($24 divided by 6,000, times 100). On Pro it's $0.32 per 100 ($48 divided by 15,000, times 100). Those figures assume you use the full cap every day.
If you sit down once a week and run a long batch of ideas, the daily ceiling is what you hit. Starter allows 200 searches in a day, including any you ran in earlier sessions that day. If you check a few keywords most days, either cap is easy to stay under, and Starter costs half as much.
Rank tracking on each plan
Rank tracking has a separate, smaller allowance. Starter covers 80 for $24, or $0.30 per tracked keyword ($24 divided by 80). Pro covers 200 for $48, or $0.24 per tracked keyword ($48 divided by 200).
Pro is twice the price and gives two and a half times the tracking. Count the posts you actually want to watch, plus one or two main terms for each.
A list of up to 80 terms fits Starter's tracking allowance at $24 a month, provided its other limits also fit. For 81 to 200 terms, price Pro at $48 a month even if you rarely use 200 research searches a day. Pro is also the plan to pick if you want Foresight, since Starter doesn't include it.
When a bigger suite is worth it
Compare a larger suite when Keysearch's plan limits or reporting setup do not cover your work. That might involve research across many competitors, separate client reports or a team setup. Check the specific allowances before assuming a larger subscription is necessary.
The keyword research tools guide compares dedicated options and their allowances. The affordable SEO tools guide covers other low-cost plans. You can compare the subscription total in /seo-tools-cost-calculator/.
For a small publishing schedule, compare your research days and tracking list with Starter's limits. Before paying anything, the free keyword research guide shows what you can do with no-cost methods. Keysearch's 7-day trial is also a chance to see how many searches a normal week uses and how many keywords you'd want to track.
