    Check it out for yourself with the SKtool. You can also go to WordStream and cross-check the results from Google there. Most keyword tools are a total estimate and to be safe, use the data as indicators rather than exact figures.

    For competition you need to analyze the top ranking sites, check out their back link profiles, and see how much interest there is for the exact-match keyword in Google's index.

    For competitor analysis you can do more then back link analysis,analyze information architecture,ranking on major three search engines,domain age,number of pages.

    Use Google Keyword tool. This will show you the approximate search traffic for particular keywords and also gives a good indication of the competition for that particular keyword, plus its free ;)
