The last thing you want to do is get banned from Google while trying to improve your ranking.

I don't want to dig through the whole TOS for you, you can do that yourself but basically anything that automatically digs for data for you is prohibited by Google. Even if you aren't caught because you've used tools like that before, it's only a matter of time before you are and is anything really worth the risk?

I don't know anything about any of the "tools" you mentioned in this thread. Just giving you a heads up / warning on using any sort of SEO tools.
