Keyword Tool vs SmartMetrics

Keyword Tool generates long-tail keyword suggestions from autocomplete when given a seed term. It supports keyword and competitor research across 16 platforms, including Google, YouTube, Bing, Amazon, TikTok, Reddit, Pinterest and Google Trends. The free tool works without an account and can return 750+ Google autocomplete keywords. Paid plans add search volume, cost per click, competition scores, device breakdown and historical trends; they also support search-volume enrichment for up to 1,000 keywords per request, with daily capacity depending on the plan. Access includes the web interface, API and MCP, and Claude, Cursor and ChatGPT are named as compatible assistants. Google coverage includes 190+ countries, 68,000+ locations and 50+ languages. The site says Google and Bing metrics come from planner ecosystems, while volumes for other platforms are modeled estimates based on clickstream signals. Web, API and MCP share a daily request pool, and available MCP tools can vary by endpoint, plan and rollout status. Paid plans start at $68 a month. There is no free trial; the pricing FAQ lists a 30-day money-back guarantee for paid plans.

SmartMetrics provides Instagram account and hashtag analytics for brands and agencies through web access and an API. Account reports visualize more than 30 measures across accounts, posts, and stories, including audience demographics and geography, engagement, reach, and impressions. Hashtag tracking covers daily post updates, performance, sentiment, top posts, and related hashtags. The service also tracks brand mentions in real time and lets users respond from one place. Reports can be exported as PDF or CSV, charts as images, and shared through a secret link. Agency tools include scheduled and white-label reports, shared online reports, goals, and smart alerts. Its documented API uses key-based authentication over HTTPS; account analytics require authorization through Facebook. Plans start at $9 a month for up to three accounts, with hashtags counting toward the profile limit. A 14-day trial does not require a credit card, but the account is put on hold afterward unless the user subscribes.
