The backstory
Ubersuggest's value was making keyword research affordable for people priced out of Ahrefs. Chat models now brainstorm keyword clusters, search intent and content angles instantly and free, which removes the "ideas" half of the product. What survives is the proprietary volume and difficulty data — genuinely hard to replicate — so this one is wounded rather than dead.
