Is the RankKW Chrome extension free?

Yes, for Chrome, Edge and Brave, though it needs a free rankkw.com account. On October 15, 2026 the Chrome Web Store showed 4,000 users and 4.9 stars from 462 ratings. The free Alura extension showed 100,000 users and 4.7 stars from 439 ratings the same day.

Yes. The Free plan has no card and no end date: 5 keyword searches and 5 listing audits a day, one shop with 50 listings and one AI listing image a month. Paid plans start at $0.99 for 20 searches a day. Alura Free also has no end date, with 5 keyword and 5 product searches a day and 10 listings to optimize.

Where does RankKW's search volume come from?

From Google. RankKW's methodology and keyword pages say volume, CPC and the country split come from Google Ads Keyword Planner, because Etsy's API publishes no search volume. Alura shows its own estimate of Etsy searches next to Google volume. Neither tool gets search counts from Etsy.

Can RankKW publish listings to my Etsy shop?

No. Its privacy policy says it connects to Etsy with read-only permissions, and the Etsy Listing Pro page tells you to review the draft and paste it into Etsy. Alura asks Etsy for edit access so it can publish the title, tag and description changes you approve.

What do RankKW users say?

Its public reviews are few, recent and positive. All 7 Trustpilot reviews, from September 24 to October 9, 2026, give 5 stars for a 4.3 TrustScore. Most are one line; the longest praises keyword research, price and quick support. We found no Reddit or Etsy forum threads about it. Alura has 434 Trustpilot reviews with a 3.9 TrustScore, read the same day.

Alura vs RankKW

Alura estimates how often shoppers search Etsy itself for a keyword, rewrites your listings with AI and publishes the changes to your shop, then handles follow-ups, Pinterest and Etsy Ads on paid plans. RankKW pairs Google search volume with Etsy's live listing counts, and costs less if research and draft copy are all you need.

Verdict

Is RankKW or Alura the better fit?

Choose RankKW if

You want keyword research, AI copy and CSV export for the least money: Pro is $6.99 a month for 120 searches a day.²
You look after several shops or clients: Business covers 3 shops for $19.99, Agency 10 with white-label reports for $39.99.²
You want every figure labeled by source, with Etsy API fields shown as returned and a dash where no data exists.⁴

Choose Alura if

You want an estimate of Etsy's own search demand for each keyword, not Google's volume as a stand-in.⁴
You want AI rewrites pushed to your Etsy listings for you. RankKW connects read-only, so its drafts are pasted in by hand.^6,7
You want the work after the listing: buyer follow-ups from Basic, then Pinterest, Etsy Ads, A/B tests and profit from Growth.

Where Alura is stronger

A read on Etsy search demand
Alura estimates monthly Etsy searches for every keyword, with 12 months shown against the previous year, and adds Google volume. RankKW's methodology leaves Etsy volume out and shows Google's figure.⁴
Your edits go live on Etsy
Open a listing in Alura and it scores it, drafts a new title, tags and description with AI, and pushes what you approve to Etsy, so nothing is pasted in by hand.
Longer sales history, wider database
Growth searches more than 100 million listings and 2.5 million shops, with sales and revenue graphs over time for any listing or shop. RankKW snapshots shop sales daily from the day tracking starts and deletes them after 90 days.⁴

What do RankKW and Alura cost per shop?

RankKW costs less at every tier: $6.99 buys 120 searches a day where Alura Basic is $11.99 for 50, and three shops cost $19.99 where Alura needs Professional. Alura's extra cost buys publishing to Etsy, follow-ups, Pinterest, Etsy Ads and A/B tests, which RankKW does not list.

Running RankKW and Alura side by side

You can keep both. RankKW's shop connection is read-only, so it never clashes with the edits Alura publishes. Keyword lists leave RankKW as CSV on Pro and up. Daily shop snapshots and monitored competitors stay behind.^2,5,7,8

On Pro or above, export the RankKW keywords you want to keep as CSV.
Open a free Alura account and link your shop through Etsy.
Run that list through Alura's bulk search, 100 keywords per batch.
Cancel RankKW from its account settings; access lasts until the billed period ends.
