The complaint
No keyword difficulty, search volume, or CPC metrics on the core report
6 recurring complaints show up in public reviews, and 0 of them come up often.

The verdict
A tracker priced to be tried rather than committed to.
The most frequently raised complaint: no keyword difficulty, search volume, or cpc metrics on the core report.
It reports where you stand. Turning that into published pages and earned citations is still work somebody has to do.
