Show HN: I’ve made a cheaper SEO research tool

In the last 13 months I've spent total $1297 for Ahrefs subscription. Sounds like a little too much so I've build my own Keywords Research tool - Telescope.

While building it my total bill was $51 for 2 months and 41k+ keywords found. Every page of keywords costs $0.03 - $0.05. 2 payment options - usage-based subscription or just top up your balance with the amount you'd like to.

Telescope includes a couple of things:

- Keywords Explorer - finding keywords based on seed phrase and filters

- Keywords Ideas - keywords on interception on provided keywords

- Ranked Keywords - keywords a domain you specified with their positions and change since last DB update

- Saved Keywords - to store found keywords and plan the SEO strategy

I've put a lot of love into it and would love to get some feedback. IMPORTANT: every new account gets some free balance to start with. Appreciate it!

There is no trial version, but there is a "trial" balance you get after a sign up to try the application. Feel free to contact me on X (Twitter) @ilyakulhavy if you need a little more, thank you!

We're working right now on adding On Page + Backlinks into the app so Telescope becomes go-to solution for SEO

Awesome!! Congrats on the value prop and landing!! Very clear.

I run a marketplace in Brazil (kwara.com.br) and we happen to be focusing on SEO at the moment! What's your coverage in Portuguese / Brazilian market keywords? Or is it US only at the moment?

(Ps, I don't mind the tool itself being in english)

Haha you're right. Wasn't thinking about Insomnia while making a logo. Thanks for the reference!
