Keyword Insights
Buy it for the clustering engine, which is genuinely better than doing SERP-overlap grouping yourself in a spreadsheet; treat the AI writer as a bonus rather than a reason. Agencies planning content hubs across many sites get the most out of it, solo bloggers publishing four posts a month will burn less money on Surfer or Frase.
Pros
- SERP-overlap clustering is the core competency and it is fast at scale
- Public API means clustering can be driven from your own scripts
- Basic plan ships 10,000 credits, enough for a real clustering job not a demo
- Discovery pulls from Reddit, Quora and PAA, not just a keyword database
Cons
- No free tier - entry is a paid $1 trial that ends in pay-as-you-go
- Basic is single-seat, so any team needs the $99 Professional plan
- Full agent-written articles cost 1,200 credits, which drains an allowance quickly
- Volume and difficulty data is thinner than Ahrefs or Semrush
