AnswerThePublic
The questions people type into search
AnswerThePublic takes a keyword and returns the questions, prepositions and comparisons people search around it, which is a content calendar's worth of titles in one query. The wheel graphic is the famous part and the export is the useful part. Free use is capped at three searches a day, and the paid plans are counted in searches rather than in seats.

Mangools
Five SEO tools that do not need a manual
Mangools is KWFinder and four siblings sold together, and its reason to exist is that the serious suites are overwhelming for anybody who is not doing SEO full time. Keyword difficulty is one number you can act on, the SERP view shows who you would have to beat, and the rank tracker keeps score. Limits are per day rather than generous. An agency running client reporting at volume will hit the ceiling and know it.
Our note
Buy this for the interface, which is the only real reason to pick it over a cheaper suite with deeper data. The per-day request caps are the thing that will actually stop you, so count a normal week's lookups before assuming Basic is enough.
