aherfs vs majestic vs spyfu vs keysearch vs semrush?

[turdface]

I've been away from SEO for a bit.

Which keywords tools are the best now?

I was using keysearch but another thread made me think it's unhelpful and recommended ahrefs instead. Ahrefs is pretty pricey. Someone else suggested spyfu. Spyfu has a page saying why they're better than semrush:

https://www.spyfu.com/beat-the-rush
Is this legit? Does sem do anything spyfu doesn't?

I'd rather not spend $100 a month to research keywords once or twice.

All I'm really looking for is keywords, keyword suggestions, and difficulty... unless there's anything else I'm not picturing.

I have a separate tool already for tracking rank so I don' t need that.

Is there a guide to explain the differences? How do I pick?

If you have the budget go for Ahref's
And for Semrush you can go for groupbuy

I like Mangools to bulk research and Ahrefs to confirm. Ahrefs is hyperlimited, is rare the day I don't surpass the limitations. This is why I only use it as the last resort for last checks.

SEMRush is super awesome when you like to check competence. But I use it only when I work for clients content. For my own service, I rarely check the competence other than with Ahrefs.

I don't really know why anyone would use Spyfu. In fact I don't know what Spyfu is useful for. I feel it is like SEMrush but worse.

ahrefs is pricey indeed, but it's more than a keyword research tool.

spyfu and keysearch I have not used, so I won't comment on them (although, I do believe that spyfu is more useful for researching adwords competition than organic competition)

semrush I used in the past but I didn't like it (it's harder to read than ahrefs). What I would say, however, is that it used to give more accurate search volumes and difficulty scores for keywords, but ahrefs gives better intel on backlinks.

And Majestic is a backlink analyzing tool mostly, so I'm not sure that it fits within the "keyword research" category.

Other tools that seem to get a lot of praise lately are Mangools, KeywordsEverywhere, and Answer the Public. What I'd also recommend is Keyword Snatcher (if you're into finding long tail keywords), and Keyword Titan (more of a general SEO tool than keyword research specifically, but it used to be pretty good 2 years ago when I last used it)
