The homepage says Keyword.com is trusted by 2,000+ agencies and SEO teams worldwide: https://www.keyword.com/
Netpeak Spider
Some scale signal, but not a Spider-specific customer count.
The product page claims 150K+ users of Netpeak Software worldwide and shows enterprise logos, while explicitly presenting this as software-wide rather than Spider-only. https://netpeaksoftware.com/spider/
Agent readiness level
Automation
How ready the product is to operate as or inside an AI agent workflow, based on tracked subcriteria for autonomy, controls, integrations, memory, and evaluation.
Keyword.com
Native MCP and REST APIs cover many research, rank, alert, and AI-visibility operations, but durable agent memory and formal evaluation are limited.
Keyword.com's MCP documentation lists 67 tools and approval-gated write actions across ranking, research, alerts, sharing, and AI visibility. https://www.keyword.com/docs/mcp/
Netpeak Spider
No agent or AI automation interface is documented.
Official descriptions document a user-operated desktop crawler with configurable settings, not agents, LLM actions or autonomous workflows. https://netpeaksoftware.com/spider/
Ease of use and autonomous level
Automation
How easy it is for a team to reach useful outcomes, and how much work the product can perform autonomously after setup.
Keyword.com
Plain-language queries and bulk operations enable substantial autonomy, with human approval for writes and destructive actions.
MCP read tools run silently, while write tools prompt for approval and destructive deletes cannot be undone: https://www.keyword.com/docs/mcp/

Automated crawling and reports save time, but the desktop product requires technical setup, interpretation, and external remediation.
