Manually checking the first page of Google for your keyword is the ONLY way to analyze competitiveness of a keyword. No tool can do this.
This ^^^
Enter your keyword on Google using private browsing mode and check each link on the front page one by one. Use Ahrefs or SEO Spyglass (paid version not cracked because you won't get access to the full DB). From there, you need to check the entire backlink profile - are the links coming from good/great sites or are they coming from spammy sites? You get the idea.
KC from LongTailPro is a scam to get newbies to pay the creator $17/mo.
