Bulk keyword search volume checker
Paste a list, get exact monthly Google searches, CPC and competition for every keyword. A real run, what the free tools limit and what 100 or 1,000 keywords cost.
The short answer
To check search volume for a whole keyword list, paste it into the Keyword Search Volume Actor and click Start. It returns Google Keyword Planner's exact average monthly searches, CPC, competition and a 12-month history for every keyword, in any country or city, in about 30 seconds. There is no subscription: a run of $0.65 covers 100 keywords and a run of $4.25 covers 1,000. Keywords Google has no data for are free.
Google's own Keyword Planner shows only ranges like "1K–10K" unless you run ads. This Actor returns the exact averages, with no Google Ads account.

How it compares with the free bulk checkers
Free tools are fine for a handful of keywords. The limits below are what each tool states on its own page (read Oct 27, 2026); they change, so check before you rely on them.
| Tool | Keywords per run | Limit or catch | Data | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Keyword Search Volume (this Actor) | Thousands (1,000 per Google Ads request) | Pay per use: $4.25 per 1,000. Free Apify plan: 10 keywords per run | Google Keyword Planner, exact | |
| Keywords Everywhere (free tier) | Up to 100 per submission | Free and anonymous visitors share a daily lookup budget | Google Keyword Planner via its API | |
| Serp Miner | 10 a day without an account, 300 a day with a free account | Daily cap | Exact average monthly volume | |
| KWS Everywhere (local checker) | Up to 1,000 per request | Free, supported by donations | Google data | |
| keywordvolumechecker.com | Up to 25 | Volumes are AI-estimated, not Google Keyword Planner numbers | AI estimate | |
| Google Keyword Planner (no active ads) | Many | Shows ranges such as 1K-10K instead of exact volume | Google, ranges |
Pick a free tool for ten keywords. Pick the Actor when you have hundreds or thousands, need a country or city the free tools lack, or want the rows in a spreadsheet, a script or an AI agent without a daily cap.
What it costs
| Keywords in the run | Cost (Apify Free-plan prices) | How it adds up | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | $0.27 | 5 x $0.004 + one $0.25 Google Ads request | |
| 100 | $0.65 | 100 x $0.004 + $0.25 | |
| 1,000 | $4.25 | 1,000 x $0.004 + $0.25 (one request holds up to 1,000) | |
| 10,000 | $42.50 | 10,000 x $0.004 + 10 x $0.25 |
Apify Free-plan prices read from the Apify API when this page is built. Paid Apify plans get lower per-keyword prices (down to $0.0033). Send the whole list in one run: you pay one request fee per 1,000 keywords, not one per run.
How to check search volume for a keyword list
- Open Keyword Search Volume on Apify (a free account is enough to try it).
- Paste your keywords into Keywords, one per line. Duplicates and odd characters are cleaned up for you.
- Set Location (a country, a state or a city) and Language. Leave Language empty to use the location's main language.
- Click Start, then download the results as CSV, Excel or JSON.
- Want to know if you can rank for the keywords? Paste them into the Bulk Keyword Difficulty Checker for KD 0-100 and search intent. The Actor saves your keywords in that tool's format at the end of every run.
What the numbers mean
| Field | Meaning | |
|---|---|---|
| search_volume | Average monthly Google searches over the last 12 months, as Google Ads reports it | |
| monthly_searches | Month-by-month volume, so you can see seasonality | |
| cpc / low and high top-of-page bid | What advertisers pay per click, a useful proxy for commercial value | |
| competition / competition_index | How crowded the paid auction is (LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH and 0-100). It is not SEO difficulty | |
| found | false when Google has no volume for the phrase; those rows are free |
Google groups close variants (plurals, word order, misspellings) and reports one number for the group, so similar keywords can show identical volumes.
FAQ
How do I check search volume for many keywords at once?
