Google Adwords vs. Long Tail Pro

I'm learning how to use Long Tail Pro, and as i went thru the training I came to the "Average Competitiveness" that you have to pay a monthly subscription for. All the reviews i saw say it's worth it.

But i went onto Googles Keyword Planner and searched for some of the same items (i.e. "shoe accessories") and they have a column labeled "Competition".

I know that they each of these items are probably calculated differently, but i need to know if the end results is different enough to justify the monthly expense of LTPro upgrade.

Can anyone comment on whether it's worth it, or should i just use the Google Competition score?

The competition in the Google Keyword Tool has nothing to do with organic search competition.

It is a measure of the competition among AdWords advertisers.

  you mean competition between advertisers is not an indicator of competition for search visibility?

  The competitiveness you see inside of the google keyword planner is addword competition.
  
  The competitiveness scores that your seeing in Long Tail pro are scores based on how easy/difficult its going to be to rank in Google based on the top competing sites that are ranking.
  
  Im not sure how the actual competitive score works with Long Tail pro...But in our own tool, Niche Genetics, we will analyze the top 10 ranking sites for your keyword and then perform multiple checks on the ranking domains and pages before making a difficulty score available.

The long tails keywords are very useful for a small niche, I've a blog based only on long tails and it took around 4 to 5 months to rank well with a little linkbuilding, now the blog have 400 visits per day. The long tails are slow to rank but works great
