Semrush or Ahrefs???

Whats best in your opinion and why??

very pricey by the way ( both)

I don't think both can be compared, if I am not wrong as ahrefs is updating backlinks database on regular basis while SEMrush backlinks data tool is still in beta phase. For a site ahref is showing around 1300 backlinks while semrush has detected only backlinks.

Ahrefs has removed keyword research tool so I think there is no comparison between these two.


Thanks

any other opinions?

They offer two different services. Semrush excels in market research. You can look at the exact keywords a website is targeting organically and through PPC and many other features. Ahrefs is mainly a backlink analysis tool and they have recently added the on page report tool. I have both of them.
