Chose KWFinder
Again, I am writing this because I tried many services aimed at an inexperienced user like myself. They made complicated things easy and became my preferred choice. MarketGoo is great for a site review, but too broad, so it did not always target my needs and gave me too many …
Chose KWFinder
This is just for keywords, not site traffic or domain metrics; it is not as thorough as the competitors, strictly a keyword research tool.
Chose KWFinder
All these tools are extremely powerful, and keyword research is just one component of the tools. That said, keyword research using KWFinder, for me, has been most enjoyable out of all of these. It's mostly because of how easy it is to use. The UI is nice to look at, it's just a …
Semrush
Chose Semrush
Semrush is an all in 1 tool for SEO and SEA, and does specific things really well even better then the competition.
The mean issue i could have with Semrush is the pricing, for $119 a month you get the full tool but with limitations of projects, users etc.
When you wanna add more …
Chose Semrush
I alternate several tools. But for example, I used to use Moz and Ahrefs, now I only use Semrush for technical issues.
For Keywords research I use Semrush and others, to have different sources of information and compare to validate.

If you don't know the first thing about keyword research, learn about it, then make sure you use this tool. It's by far the simplest tool I use in my keyword research arsenal. That's not to say the others are difficult to use, this one's just the easiest. If you aren't focusing on your site's SEO, then I suppose SEO research and a keyword like this may not suit you, but I believe that every business that has a website should focus on SEO - so a tool like this is a good tool to have.

This is suited to plan for keywords in a single market, but it struggles when you need to consolidate several markets. It is well-suited to discover new keywords directly related to the ones being used currently to expand the content the company is creating to get better results.

Semrush
  • Extra seats can be expensive, as [an] agency with multiple team members this can be frustrating
  • Backlink data is not great, misses out a lot of backlinks (better off using a specialist backlink tool like Link research tools LRT)
  • Tracking multiple keywords, across multiple clients can be costly

SEMRush has a slight learning curve, but everything is organized really well. Once you learn where everything is, using the software and running reports is incredibly easy. You can easily add new projects, get help for improving on-page SEO, and there are even video tutorials that walk you through the whole system if you still feel uncomfortable with it.

I'm in a FB group for Semrush paid users and it amazing! They are fast to respond, take suggestions and help with questions. I have not felt alone in using this product at all. Highly recommend their support team. When I had an issue I can jump into the group and they will help get me the right person to help or even tag their programmers to look at something that is going on. Love the group!

We have used both Ahrefs and Semrush extensively at our agency and Semrush remains the tool of choice. We find that Semrush has the largest selection of tools & features to use, with the highest accuracy, and provides top-tier analysis recommendations. It's really is the ultimate all-in-one tool when comparing other performance measurement tools in the digital marketing space.
