ClearVolume — Honest Keyword & SEO Data

Keyword research tools have a trust problem. The market leader recently raised prices roughly 8x on existing customers with no warning, and purchased credits quietly expire after a year — sometimes without the buyer ever being told at checkout. ClearVolume exists because the underlying feature (seeing search volume, CPC, and competition without leaving Google) is genuinely useful. The pricing and credit practices around it don't need to be adversarial. What it does: ClearVolume adds a small card directly under your Google search results showing search volume, cost-per-click, and a 0–100 difficulty score for whatever you just searched. Expand the card to see up to 10 related keywords with the same metrics, sorted by volume, so you can build out a content or PPC plan without switching tabs. Why install it: Free tier gives 50 keyword lookups per day, no credit card required — a genuinely usable daily allowance, not a crippled trial. Your popup always shows exactly how many lookups you've used today. Paid plans use a monthly credit pool that rolls over unused credits (up to 3x your monthly grant) instead of expiring them, and your price is locked in at the tier you sign up for. No browsing history is collected, no third-party tracking, no ads. Who it's for: independent SEO consultants and content marketers doing inline research, small agency owners who need predictable monthly costs, and bloggers or course creators doing lighter, occasional keyword research.
