    KeywordSpy
    KeywordSpy is appropriate for most Internet Market research companies. I would not suggest it for a corporate marketing department unless it's a company with a very larger budget. This is also not a tool for small freelancers even though there is a free option, to get the best benefit of KeywordSpy it's best to use most of its features and options and this can get pricey.

    UpCity
    • Customized marketing checklist is incredible!
    • The way UpCity verifies items in your marketing checklist (like whether you have social accounts, you're on Google, etc,) helps my business, and others, save precious time having to manually verify them yourself.
    • I love the impact scores and estimated time shown on each task to give us a feel of how much we are doing each month and what value that time spent is.
    • The "about" and "how to" section on tasks makes it very clear how to accomplish each task.

    • Sometimes the results volume can be over whelming, maybe a summary tool could be provided?

    Usability is mediocre: They have a dashboard to track things but they have some antiquated system of ranking companies and don’t tell you what the logic is behind it. You also have no way to combat negative ratings or respond and try to correct them.

    I received little help from customer service rep, Sarah. She told me I should speak to a manager to “reset my expectations”. Apparently, all the sales promises of more traffic and increase SEO were an issue with my expectations, and not the company failing to deliver.

    KeywordSpy
    Most SEO and market research tools offer what KeywordSpy has but are not as detailed and in one place. Consequently, where you can do everything at KeywordSpy, with other tools you find you have to purchase multiple tools or subscriptions from different providers which also don't integrate with each other. KeywordSpy makes your research easier and more efficient.

    • UpCity was costly for us because we were small. If we were a 10 person agency, the price would be right in line with what we need.
    • UpCity has taught us many processes we needed to continue helping our clients be successful.
