Overall, this is great for competitor research and we use it on a regular basis. You can start with a free version which offers some limited but useful analytics features, and later decide if you want to upgrade to a paid version.

Answer the Public is basically a visual keyword research tool that shows you what people are searching for on Google related to your keyword(s). It is also a free tool. It works on the same principle as Google’s autocomplete, showing the most frequently asked search phrases and questions related to your query.
