No. AnswerThePublic uses Suggest data, which shows combinations of auto-complete searches. AlsoAsked uses "People Also Ask" data, which provides results for more longtail searches and critically, shows the relationships between these topics and questions. We're big fans of AnswerThePublic, it's another tool for a different job. You can see a video demonstration of the differences between AnswerThePublic and AlsoAsked here.
No. SearchResponse.io uses a pre-scraped database of "People Also Ask" data and simply keyword matches, rather than showing the true relationships between these concepts. This means that AlsoAsked provides more results for niche queries, more up to date results, and most critically, shows the intent connection between questions.

No, at the moment you can do a limited number of searches with no sign in. The number is limited to prevent abuse, as unfortunately, we have had bad actors try and exploit the free version of the tool and break it for everyone.
Paid accounts offer a much higher amount of monthly searches, the ability to export your data as CSV, bulk check keywords. You’ll also get search history and cache management.
Quite simply because there is a significant cost to us running this service now. We ran a 2.5 year beta period in which we provided over 9,000,000 search results for free at significant cost to ourselves. Since then, we have had to invest in both infrastructure and developer support to keep the tool running and users happy. The possibility of paid users also has driven new features such as bulk search and cache management.
