Okay so I don't have much of a frame of reference to compare keyword discovery against other tools. I'm a solopreneur who is currently having to fulfill the roles of all my future team members. That means I've rarely had time to run a proper blog strategy or pay for top tools to get me ranking. But in the last four days, i've put a lot of time into familiarising myself with keyword discovery and also keyword spy. In the beginning, it was confusing to know where the former ended and the latter began (But one thing that's not confusing for anyone who has done some due diligence, is the fact keyword spy is not part of the LTD - the developers have repeatedly emphasized this)
Furthermore, keyword spy is not being upsold, it simply represents the next stage in writing a blog with A.I assistance if thats what you need, you don't want to wing it, and you don't already have another tool in your tech stack. The developers have offered a special lifetime discount if you do want to use keyword spy and thats something i'm happy to pay for. Afterall, they need recurring income to keep developing the tool and hopefully see it hit the mainstream.
So in the last four days I've generated a ton of keywords, and discovery has made it very easy to see which ones I should be trying to rank for with my new blog. I've then taken two keywords and developed them into articles using the A.I editor - because I upgraded to it. Having watched one of Gregs training videos several times I was able to use all the supplemental information available and shape this article with my own slant into something that the developers of this platform actually guarantee will rank, on the proviso you use it as they instruct.
It's too early to see ranking or traffic results but for me this tool has shone a floodlight into the engine room of SEO that can drive any blog post up the rankings. An engine room that will never even get started if you try to write blog posts blindly (not literally) There's immense competition for visibility and without a force multiplier like keyword discovery/spy I don't think I could stay motivated long enough without any confidence or assurance that the efforts would pay off.
So this is a genuine five-star review with no pizzas or tacos or whatever taken off because the developers didn't offer me enough this that or the other. 2000 discovery credits p/m is more than enough for this one blogger. and 1 mil credits (soon to be upgraded to 1.5 mil) is just about enough on the basic spy plan to generate 40 articles per month.
One more thing, on the few occasions I have contacted the developers with a question, they have responded almost immediately. I base my buying decisions on the people behind a product as well as the product itself and as a result, I haven't regretted or lost any of my LTD purchases (with the exception of Invanto dammnnnn!)
