Reviews of Ahrefs
A Good SEO Tool for Audit !
Comments: Overall the interface is quit easy to use and understand and provide complete analysis.
Pros:
Ahrefs gives me access to information such as backlink strength, thorough traffic analysis, insights into particular pages, and useful advice for doing site audits. I use it's backlink analysis, keyword research and audit tool the most.
Cons:
Ahrefs is a feature-rich SEO tool, but it's relatively expensive compared to other tools and the free version is limited.

Hi Apurva, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! We're so happy to hear that you're getting so much value out of our toolset. We're also happy to hear that you find the interface intuitive and easy to use. Thanks, Apurva!
Alternatives Considered:
It has an outstanding capacity to crawl the entire internet and target sites.
Comments:
It provides better recommendations for keywords.
It has basic control over keywords.
Pros:
It is capable of thorough monitoring and comparison of domains. Based on how much organic traffic a website receives, that is. Compared to Alexa rank, it is superior. Based on the quantity of backlinks going to a URL, URL (URL ratings) calculates the potential influence of the URL. In terms of metrics returned, the keyword results page was at first the most plain and straightforward of all the tools I examined. However, Ahrefs has significantly improved its Keyword Explorer tool with a responsive page of interactive data visualizations.
Cons:
Costly for small companies perhaps. Technical SEO and on-page optimization are included in the "Domain Health" tool, which is presently unavailable. Had the experience of having some tool parts return no results.

not too good, but not extremely terrible
Comments: not too bad just not what i was expecting to be able to use.
Pros:
i liked the format of the way you can gain access to the information for the sites when you're needing the full stats.
Cons:
the pricing is a little bit convoluted especially when it comes to credit usage. they give you the impression that you can find all you may need but then you have too go up a tier. which makes no sense why pay for a monthly subscription and then pay for more credits to get too the information. and the monthly fees are a little bit extreme.

Hi Rickilee, Thanks for leaving a review of the Ahrefs platform! We're so happy to hear you're getting tons of value from our tools. We know the credit system can be challenging to navigate, especially in the beginning. Have you joined one of our webinars to learn how to get the most insights from your subscription?
Excellent, but too expensive
Comments: A solid web experience, unfortunately spoiled by a severe hike in prices over the years.
Pros:
It is mature and well-rounded software. It simply does what they say. We rarely see any downtime.
Cons:
Changes to the pricing/plans have meant that Ahrefs is too expensive. Adding on a single user or more can be a huge expense. While we love it, there are other, cheaper competitors.
