[METHOD] How to save $121 on Ahrefs Monthly Standard Subscription

[fasttrak]

They don’t blacklist card. I’ve been doing this every week since they changed the pay structure. Before this, the only change was a new email.

Pro tip #1 : use a short email in a serial number sequence.

A001 @ blah . Com
A002 @ blah . Com
A003 @ blah . Com

Pro tip #2: use a custom domain email, but don’t use existing email address. Just the domain. This will send all Ahrefs emails to the catch all. No need to look at Ahrefs emails anyways.

Pro tip #3: don’t forget to cancel. Set an alarm on your phone to cancel. I had something going on in real life, and now I am the proud one month member of a $193 service!

I've been doing this a while after you mentioned it a while back. Perfect for my needs.

I used different REAL cards and Paypal accounts + I have used the same paypal account 2 x 2 times. Everything OK so far.

Sometimes back, one could use ahrefs for free for 14 days. Then they found out that we are just using one trial after the other with different emails before signing up to another and enjoying the tool without paying a dime.

So Tim Soulo and his team decided to ask for a $7 trial fee for using the tool for a week.

If you were to pay standard ahrefs, you would pay $149 per month. But you can pay $28 per month. How?
1. Have 4 email accounts per month. Use paypal for payment
2. Sign up for trial in week 1 and pay the $7. Once week is over, use the 2nd email to sign for another trial
3. Do this for the whole month with all the emails.
Once the month is over, create more emails.
The paypal email address needs not change just the the user email keeps on changing.

With this method, you save $149-$28=$121 per month

Thanks so much guys.. I think you are awesome for sharing this.

One Question:
Does this still work ?
Hypothetically if i were to use only 1 Paypal, new email in series..like 1,2,3 every week and then cancel every week. Will it still work ?
Someone posted they used different real world cards.. Does it work with different email + same paypal ?

Please let me know.
Again, thanks so much. Really appreciate the inputs.

Works with same PayPal or same card ? or both ?
Of course will use different email every time.
Thanks

I used different REAL cards and Paypal accounts + I have used the same paypal account 2 x 2 times. Everything OK so far.

Real cards or just 1 real card.

It's a group buy service called flikover but it's only available for Indian users.

That group buy is trash..they are so very rude. I hate their service.. also they ban people if they use more than a couple dozen searches a day.

Firstly, please use the multi quote feature (+ quote) when answering as you look like you are inflating your post count, and at the very least make the thread messy for other users and waste mods time tidying it up. Thanks

I have personally used both.

Real cards or just 1 real card.

I have personally only ever used real cards, 1 card for several accounts and multiple cards to mix it up a bit.

Thanks sorry for the multiple comments.. Yeah.. I didnt realize it.. not inflating my post count for sure.. not even sure how that could be helpful for anything ?
Anyways.. back to the point.. I am planning multiple email + same paypal..

I am assuming this still works ?

Ever got a ban from Ahrefs by any chance ? Would love to know that.


Thanks a ton. Appreciate the response.

I have used multiple email and same paypal and fine so far, but I decided not to push it, and varied it with cards as well to mix it up. I also have multiple paypal so that helps. I think you are likely safer using multiple email / same card rather than multiple email / same paypal but I have no proof for that statement. It is just what I have read.

Thanks.. gonna try one of the 2 and see how it goes.. either way if they block paypal if i do 1 paypal + multi email.. then i can always switch to 1 card + multi email.
Thanks.

few tips,

For multiple emails, you can use one of your domain and catch all the email as mentioned in the post (like [email protected], [email protected] etc..)
or
you can use mail. com to create 10 acc at a time...(mail. com don't require the verification to create an account)

for payment, if your bank is providing the prepaid card use it, most probably it will work, as ahref is not that much strick for prepaid card / vcc (entropay was working successfully, if you're in EU you can still use it)...

Benefits of using prepaid card/vcc,
you do not need to remember to cancel your subscription and instead of 6 days you can fully enjoy the 7-day trial.

I use Cheap SEO VPS, their service is very good, via RDP, paid 25 dollars and use ahrefs, majestic and semrush. Never turned off.

I am a new user and can not link, search on Google,

Yes, Ahrefs, SemRush and majestic

 

[Markus99]

Yes, Ahrefs, SemRush and majestic

Why ?
What does that do more than home IP ?

 

[xRoWx]

They don't ban vcc if are same ?

 

[Dr Doomain]

Does this method still work? I mean multiple emails and one paypal..

 

[MJ]

Why not add new email to PayPal?
We can add that email to PayPal account and use the newly created email + newly added PayPal email account making payment.
Next time, you can create new email, remove old email and add new one to your PayPal which you just created. Now, you can use this email + new PayPal email for making payment.

 

[Doobspelon]

Just use flikover or toolzap. They are around $10 per month for a lot of tools

 

[Hanzo_AA]

But all the cards will require the same zip code or don't work, no?
