Could you enlighten us what is new here? Your marketing is quite misleading. The value of Ahrefs and SemRush is not in the research but in the representation the clickstream data and backlinks. The data you provide is available also for free in the Keyword Planner Tool, except that it isn’t visualized on fancy shadow-cdn tables. There are dozens of extensions that do all this for free. Nightwatch.io recently launched…

Definitely mention your relation to Nightwatch.io.

looks really cool, i've often through there should be an alternative like this, especially for just getting started

my first feedback is i'm not totally sure on the difference between "keyword explorer" and "keyword ideas" on the home page

it would be nice to add those names as meta titles too. I have both open in separate tabs, but it's not easy to tell which is which (page title is all "Telescope - Keywords Research Tool")

Hi, congrats on the launch! Are searches cached locally in my account? I accidentally reload a page, it seems to run the search again and charge the (free and provided) balance. Thanks

Hi. Your searches cached locally for some time, reloading the page clears the cache

agreed on this, caching would be very nice. i don't care if results are even a week+ out of date

How important do you think this kind of tool is in the age of massive amounts of LLM generated text everywhere? While content mills that could crank out any keyword optimized content very cheaply existed for a long time it is now basically free. Whereas producing deep and well researched articles maybe doesn't need that razor sharp focus on specific keywords? Since you made this tool, you probably think otherwise, bu…

It doesn’t matter what the reality is, it matters what every idea person, small business, and enterprise believes

They believe they need to buy SEO services, this service can be offered cheaper than competitors

This is super nice

Keyword research should absolutely be a pay per use thing instead of a SaaS. So many marketers I know use Ahrefs literally for 2 days for keyword research for a new project and cancel right after. But they still have to pay for the full month.
