I'm really getting tired of Ahrefs. I've been working in SEO for eight years, and I've watched them increase their prices every year, pushing basic features into more expensive, higher-tier packages. This month, they've raised the price of their Lite plan by 29%, which feels like the last straw for me. Despite their robust features, the escalating costs are becoming unsustainable. It's time for me to explore other options that offer a better balance between cost and functionality. I believe there are alternative tools out there that can meet my needs without breaking the bank.
Ahrefs pricing increase 30%

SEMRush is great, and in many cases shows more results than Ahrefs.

SEMrush is pretty good as compared to Ahrefs. Surely, Ahrefs is somehow better but their prices are very high.

Better in what? Can you elaborate?
Another option for you is to use a shared account service for Ahrefs. For quite some time, I haven't purchased an Ahrefs account directly from their site due to the high cost. Instead, I've been using shared account services, which have proven to be quite satisfactory. These services do come with limitations on the number of credits you can use, but this isn't much different from the original Ahrefs accounts, which also have their own restrictions. By opting for shared services, you can still access the essential features of Ahrefs without bearing the full cost, making it a more affordable alternative.

I use ahref when my clients insist on it. Otherwise I feel comfortable with SEMrush.
This is a great idea. I’ve heard about shared account services for Ahrefs but haven’t tried them myself. So far, I’ve only used the Ahrefs Lite plan. Since you’ve been using these shared account services for a while, could you recommend the service you’re using? I’d really appreciate your help in finding a more affordable way to access Ahrefs features. Thank you!

They just understand the inflation factor.
Today all business priced $10 3 years ago should cost $30
Be happy it's 30%, not 300%

Ahrefs data are more accurate. But I prefer Semrush because all functions are almost similar.

@ch9353842 @jg577298 I'm having a really hard time believing you're not the same guy talking to yourself just to shill a group buy service I won't name.

Greedy fuckers, i switched to semrush. They have free trial which you can use as many times as many credit cards you have. You can also buy 14 days trials here on BHW for 6$.

Ahrefs has a larger index of backlinks and also offer more detailed backlink analysis as compared to Semrush. Ahref is good if you want backlink analysis. I prefer Semrush for Keyword Research.

They are out of control with these prices. Madness.

I haven't once received more results on Ahrefs compared to SEMRush. This is the reason I cancelled my Ahrefs account last month, by the way.
