They just announced on Twitter a new tool that is free and gives you access to do the following;

Use it to view:

- Any website's organic monthly traffic, value + history for the past six months

- Traffic share by country

- Your top 5 keywords in your top country

- Your top 5 pages by traffic for your top country



This is actually nice considering everything is becoming more and more expensive.

Link to the tool.
 
Nice share but i will bet once everyone start using it will be $5/ Month
 
I don't understand their marketing strategy. They cancelled the trial, raised the prices, and made their starter plan practically unusable with their 500 credits. All of that to make Ahrefs exclusive for larger clients. Why have a free tool that will only appeal to those that can't or won't buy a plan?

The only thing that come to mind is link building, but it can't be just that.
 
Use the tool in a browser that has a BigG Account logged in. Then captchas will be just a click.
Been logged in with my personal account. It might be a click for the first one, but after that captchas start coming

I think they'll run this for a few months, then make it paid only, once people start using it. As much as I like their tool they are a strange company to work out at times.
