Ahrefs
The ability to further evaluate and/or more accurately assess keyword difficulty and relevance based on the organic results for it.
Determining both elements will give me a pretty good idea about how likely it will be for me to rank while targeting that keyword.
How Ahrefs can help with this?
Well, Ahrefs offers a few features that surely help with this process.
Position History
As you can see, this feature will display the volatility of the organic ranking positions for the top results targeting that particular keyword. For me, this graph is more of a "relevance volatility" tab than something else.
The more "steady" the graph is or the least volatile the more sure you can be that Google is more satisfied with the organic results shown for that keyword. So, I wouldn´t deviate too much from what it´s shown on the SERP.
SERP Overview
The SERP Overview is another "must-see" tab for me on Ahregs as I can quickly glance at the SERP and check the top 10 results backlinks profiles and have a much better idea of how hard will it be to actually make it into the top 10 or page 1 of Google.
I don´t get carried away by the keyword difficulty score as I often find keywords with a KD of 40 but, when I look at the SERP Overview tab I see the top 3 results being highly authoritative sites and, the rest are just low-level authority sites I believe will be easy to outrank.
Take that screenshot, for example, that keyword has a KD score of 61 but, if you check the top 2 organic results they both have in total 8.8k backlinks from 1.7k referring domains. That skew the KD scores a lot!
Ahrefs offers shit tons of other features that make keyword research extremely easy.

Ahrefs for scrapping low tier sites for the keywords idea and Keyword chef for the more underserved relevant keywords!

Group buy can be an option for you.

I use both Ahrefs & recently purchased keysearch again. I agree with what @Roger Marquez posted above also.

No tool gives totally accurate data, but I always mostly go with Google keywords planner tool.

Groupbuy tool means a service provides single or multiple popular SEO tools bundle with a very cheap price e.g. like $10 per month, while if you pay the tool officially, like Ahrefs.com, you have to pay for $100 per month, which is ridiculous high.
Search forum to find recommended ones, there are a lot.

Just to ad something to the mix:
I use writerzen to find KGR keywords and perform a view of the SERP before writing content.
