Is OutlierKit worth the price?

It's worth it for researchers who want keywords and outliers in one place, agencies running client channels and researchers using Claude, on Pro, because of:

Keyword research for low-competition, high-RPM topics
Niche-wide Competitor Studio with sponsor and comment intelligence
Script and hook analysis
MCP and API on Pro

Think twice if any of these matter to you:

Every search spends credits (Hobby = about 50 outlier searches a month)
