Ahrefs shows traffic that came through direct keywords research and shows estimated traffic while SEMrush shows traffic coming from everywhere

none of them for traffic. ahrefs is closest for backlinks in my experience, semrush for keyword data, and for real traffic on a site you dont own theres no tool, only estimates. i use them to compare sites against each other not for absolute numbers

None of them are 100% right because they all calculate differently. Just stick to Ahrefs or Semrush to check if a site's traffic is going up or down.

Yeah, Semrush is good for all-round purposes, particularly for doing keyword research and analyzing competitors. However, ahrefs is good for backlinks, but honestly, it's all about what data do you use more often.
