What does Keyword Insights cost per keyword clustered?
Summary
Clustering costs $5.80 per 1,000 keywords on Keyword Insights' Basic plan and $4.95 on Professional, if every credit goes to clustering. Basic is $58 a month for 10,000 credits, and Professional is $99 for 20,000. Each keyword clustered uses one credit, and each content brief uses 100. Briefs and AI articles reduce the credits left for clustering. Allocating the whole subscription bill to clustering then raises the calculated rate per keyword.
What Basic and Professional include
Keyword Insights' pricing page lists two plans with published monthly prices and a custom-priced Enterprise plan. The pricing page also has an annual billing option labeled "save 20%." The figures below are the monthly prices the page lists, so get the yearly total from Keyword Insights before you commit.
- Basic: $58 a month, 10,000 credits, one user seat, five workspaces.
- Professional: $99 a month, 20,000 credits, three user seats, ten workspaces and team sharing.
- Enterprise: custom pricing, quoted on request.
How credits are spent
The four uses below draw on the plan's credit pool. Keyword Insights' pricing page sets these rates:
| Use | Credits | Basic, all credits | Professional, all credits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clustering | 1 per keyword | 10,000 keywords | 20,000 keywords |
| Content brief | 100 per brief | 100 briefs | 200 briefs |
| Writing Assistant | 200 per article | 50 articles | 100 articles |
| AI Writing Agent | 1,200 per article | 8 articles | 16 articles |
The last row rounds down. Basic's 10,000 credits divided by 1,200 is 8.3, so you get eight full articles.
If you also write briefs from the same plan, budget them first. On Basic, 30 briefs use 3,000 credits and leave 7,000 for clustering. Two AI Writing Agent articles on top of that take another 2,400, which leaves 4,600 keywords.
Cost per thousand keywords clustered
If a plan's credits all go to clustering, Basic's $58 covers 10,000 keywords, or ten blocks of 1,000. That works out to $5.80 per thousand, a little over half a cent per keyword. Professional's $99 covers twenty blocks, or $4.95 per 1,000 keywords.
Both rates assume all included credits are used for clustering. On Basic, if briefs take 3,000 credits in a month, the same $58 clusters only 7,000 keywords. Allocating the entire subscription price to those clustered keywords gives about $8.29 per thousand ($58 divided by 7). That allocation also pays for the 30 briefs; it is not an extra clustering fee.
For one user clustering 8,000 keywords with no other credit use and no more than five workspaces, Basic at $58 a month covers the workload. Professional costs $41 more and includes extra seats and workspaces as well as credits. Those collaboration limits can justify it even below 10,000 credits.
For a comparison with tools that price by keyword lookups instead of credits, see the keyword research tools guide. If briefs are most of your workload, the content optimization tools guide covers that category.
How seats, workspaces and the trial affect your choice
Basic includes one user seat. Of these two listed plans, Professional is the one for a second login: $99 a month includes three seats, ten workspaces and team sharing. Split across three people, that's $33 each.
The user and seat fees guide helps you count the people who need access. Add the selected plan in /seo-tools-cost-calculator/ to compare the total team budget.
Using one workspace per client gives Basic capacity for five clients. Professional has room for ten with that setup.
Keyword Insights' trial costs $1 for seven days and includes 5,000 one-time credits. The trial description lists up to 500 clustered keywords and one content-brief project. Check the trial's feature limits before allocating all 5,000 credits to one task.
When the trial ends, the account moves to the pay-as-you-go option automatically. You aren't charged a plan price unless you subscribe.
