Semrush is more accurate for all of my websites, compared to Ahrefs.

If you envisage doing a LOT of backlink or keyword research every day, then Semrush is considerably better value than Ahrefs. Semrush provides a lot of data relating not just to SEO, but PPC too — if you want a tool that covers both areas, it's a better option than Ahrefs.

Semrrush gets its traffic data from several ad distribution networks and is fairly more accurate than Ahrefs.
Ahrefs however has a huge crawl infrastructure and it's backlink data is more accurate.

Both are good but they don't show exact accurate results, I prefer ahrefs.

Ahrefs is particularly useful for analyzing competitor traffic while Semrush is more focused on helping you optimize your own website
Semrush for traffic numbers, Ahrefs is usually showing a lot less than Semrush etc.
