Pros
AnswerThePublic
Unique question-visualization format
genuinely useful for brainstorming content angles
free tier is usable
Screaming Frog SEO Spider
Industry-standard desktop crawler
extremely flexible crawl configuration
free version is genuinely useful for small sites
desktop-based so no recurring cloud fees for basic use
Cons
AnswerThePublic
Not an ongoing SEO tool — it's a brainstorming aid you use once per topic, not daily
data comes from Google Suggest so it's the same source anyone could access manually
Screaming Frog SEO Spider
Desktop-only (no cloud/SaaS version)
UI is functional but dated
learning curve for non-technical users
large site crawls require significant local RAM
