In my experience for the past years working in SEO, is that none of the tools that I’ve used are accurate; whether it is Google Keyword Planner, Ahrefs, Moz, SEMRush, Ubersuggest, etc. Why? because I noticed that when one of the tools says that a specific keyword has 50 searches monthly for example, after running SEO for few months for an account, we drove more than 50 users for that keyword, so obviously with that example only, you could tell that these tools aren’t accurate.
