The AnswerThePublic alternative that gives you search volumes
A list of questions without numbers is half the job. AlsoAsked and AnswerThePublic find questions better and more elegantly than most tools. But once you have the list, you still don't know which question is searched for, who will write the answer, and whether it worked.
Kratak odgovor
If all you need is a quick map of questions around one topic and you have somewhere to check volumes, AlsoAsked does that job excellently for $12. If you want a search volume beside every question, a finished article answering it, and position tracking afterwards — none of that exists there, not even on the most expensive plan. They solve one third of the job.
Where they’re better
AlsoAsked has the nicest display of questions on the market. They show the „People also ask“ block as a branching tree, with questions inside questions across several levels. When you want to understand how Google groups a topic in half a minute, that’s the fastest view there is. We return the same thing in lists, and their display is clearer.
Deeper hierarchy. They go several levels down — a question, then the questions that open from it, then the questions from those. That’s useful for building the structure of a large guide or a group of connected texts.
AnswerThePublic has its recognisable visual wheel. Questions arranged by question word around a centre — who, what, how, why, where. For a client presentation or for quickly loosening up ideas, that still does the job better than a table.
Cheap entry. AlsoAsked starts at $12 a month, AnswerThePublic at $20, or $13.33 billed annually. AlsoAsked also gives three free searches a day without an account. If all you need is question mapping, that’s a small cost.
More searches per month. AlsoAsked goes up to a thousand searches on the Pro plan. Our number of research runs is smaller and that’s accurate — except that one research run with us is a far larger operation than one search with them.
Where we’re better
Our questions come with search volumes. This is the whole point and it’s worth saying plainly: AlsoAsked gives no search volume data at all. None. You get a perfectly arranged tree of questions and have no idea whether a single one of them is searched for. AnswerThePublic has volumes, but limited and not beside every question. With us every question carries a monthly search volume, so you can rank topics by value instead of by feel.
One research run goes deep. For every keyword we ask Google now — nineteen live queries, plus the whole alphabet when you switch on deeper digging, around fifty searches per keyword in total, with up to two hundred suggestions and volumes. Their one search is one query.
You can write the answer immediately. You find a question with a good volume, click, and the article arrives finished — with structure, meta data, a FAQ section and an image. You read it, edit it if needed and publish it yourself. With them you get a list and the story ends there.
We measure the result after publishing. The moment you publish a text, the keyword it came from enters rank tracking and you see movement from day one. Neither of these two tools has rank tracking.
Everything else that comes with the job. A site audit from five hundred to ten thousand pages, checklists with a repair plan sorted by priority, AI visibility tracking, reports. They don’t do that and don’t claim to.
24 languages. Both the tool and the texts it writes, with search against the local Google for your market.
What it actually costs you
| AlsoAsked | AnswerThePublic | Nokofy | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entry plan | $12/month | $20, $13.33 annually | €39, €32 annually |
| Mid plan | $23 | $99, $66 annually | €96, €80 annually |
| Top plan | $47 | $199, $132.66 annually | — |
| Searches per month | 100 / 300 / 1,000 | 100 / 200 / 300 | 2 / 5 / 20 deep research runs |
| Volume beside a question | doesn’t exist | limited | beside every question |
| Article writing | no | no | 1 – 20 a month |
| Rank tracking | no | no | included |
| AI visibility tracking | no | no | included |
| Site audit and checklists | no | no | included |
| Languages written | — | — | 24 |
| Free | 3 searches a day | no | free plan with no deadline |
The arithmetic in practice: AlsoAsked at $12 plus a tool for volumes plus a copywriter for four texts a month easily passes €200. Our Pro plan with five articles is €39, or €32 billed annually.
When to choose them
- You need a quick map of questions around one topic and nothing more
- You’re building the structure of a large guide and multi-level hierarchy helps
- You work in English-speaking markets, where their data is richest
- You already have volumes from another tool and only need the question display
When to choose Nokofy
- You want a search volume beside every question, immediately
- You have nobody to write the answer to the question you found
- You want to see whether the position moved after publishing
- You work in a language these tools have no search data for
Honestly: these tools solve one third of the job — finding the questions, and they do it more elegantly than we do. But they don’t tell you whether the question is searched for, don’t write the answer and don’t measure the result. If those other two thirds are already handled for you, AlsoAsked is a cheap and good addition. If they aren’t, you’ll get a tidy list and the same problem you started with.
Česta pitanja
Why do search volumes matter so much?
Because they're the only difference between a topic and an assumption. AlsoAsked shows you that people ask something, but not whether ten people a month ask it or two thousand. Without that number you can't rank topics by value, and ranking topics is the whole job of content planning.
AlsoAsked is cheaper than you — why not take it?
For twelve dollars you get an excellent map of questions and nothing more. To turn that list into a published text you need a tool for volumes and somebody who writes. Once you add that up, twelve dollars becomes the smallest item on the bill.
Do you show questions as a tree like AlsoAsked?
We don't have their level of visual tree and that's their advantage. We return questions in lists grouped by query type, with a search volume beside each. Their display is prettier; ours tells you what's worth doing.
How much research can I run with you?
Two a month on the free plan, five on Pro and twenty on Business. That's a smaller number than theirs and that's accurate. The difference is what one research run is: with us it's around fifty live queries to Google per keyword, with suggestions, the „People also ask“ block and volumes — not one search.
Can I use AlsoAsked and you together?
You can, and it's a sensible combination if you work in English-speaking markets and like their hierarchy view. Elsewhere the overlap is large, because we return the same questions for your local Google, with numbers, and with the option to write the answer immediately.

Nokofy vs Surfer SEO and AI writers
Excellent texts, but no search data and no rank tracking.
Nokofy vs SE Ranking
Our closest competitor — stronger at scale, but AI visibility costs extra.
Nokofy vs Ubersuggest
