When users log in to AnswerThePublic for the first time, they begin with a free account that offers limited access to the tool's features. They need to be aware of the daily usage limits to maximize the benefits of their free account. Here’s a quick overview:

Where to Check Account Limits

Daily Searches: Users are limited to 3 searches per day.
Search Updates: It is possible to update reports for previous searches, but this is also limited to three searches per day.

Users can confirm their limit on the dashboard by checking at the top of their search results.

The counter will display the number of searches remaining for the day.

Free Account Features and Limits

If users decide to continue with a free account, they will have access to a range of features, while with some limitations compared to paid plans. Free accounts are restricted to a single user, allowing access to one individual only. Users can benefit from unlimited access to their entire search history, allowing them to revisit any previously searched keywords.

However, creating projects is not available on the free plan, and users will also find that setting up search alerts is not supported. Regarding keyword searches, free users can perform searches across popular platforms like Google, YouTube, Bing, TikTok, and Amazon. Yet, the search volume data and cost-per-click (CPC) information are limited, as these insights are provided for only two branches within the report.

The ability to export data is also present in the free version but with restrictions. Users can export CSV files but are limited to 30 keywords per export. Similarly, while image downloads are available, the images will be of lower resolution than those available to paid users. Additionally, the free account does not support features such as comparing data over time and hiding branches or suggestions from search results.

Lastly, the educational resources that come with paid accounts, including courses like 'How to Master AnswerThePublic,' 'Search Listening,' and 'The Customer Journey,' are not included in the free plan. As a result, users with free accounts will not have access to these valuable learning materials.

Recently added, this Instagram search feature is now available for users on the Free Plan, allowing easy integration of Instagram insights into the content strategy. Free account users are limited to 3 searches per day.
