SEMrush

• I find it generally easy to use.
• Domain analysis is particularly easy to perform with SEMrush — you get everything you need to see in one place, laid out clearly.
• Although it provides a large quantity of data, SEMrush’s interface is laid out in a logical fashion; and graphs and data visualisations make it easy to understand the metrics provided.
• SEMrush’s link building functionality, which features CRM-style features to help you with outreach, is superb.
• Its site auditing feature gives you an easy-to-follow set of instructions on how to make concrete improvements to the technical SEO and on-page SEO aspects of your site.
• In addition to organic search data, SEMrush provides you with a lot of PPC data too.
• By comparison to its competitors, SEMrush is very generous when it comes to the number of reports you can pull in one day.
• Three channels of support are available - phone, chat and email. This is more comprehensive than competitors Moz and Ahrefs.
• A 14-day free trial is available, which compares positively with some competitors.

• It only provides data for one search engine, Google — some competing tools, notably Ahrefs, provide data from quite a few other search engines.
• Because the SEMrush interface is not ‘responsive’, it’s hard to use the tool on a mobile device.
• SEMrush plans only come with one user account — and buying additional seats is expensive.
• Some key features are only available as part of ‘projects’ — and SEMrush limits the number of projects you can run concurrently.
• In my experience, the site traffic estimates have not proved to be very accurate.
• Some competitive analysis features cost an additional $200 per month extra.
• The free trial, whilst helpful, requires that you enter your credit card details before you can access it.

SEMrush it worth it but Ahrefs is the better than SEMrush tbh. I buy around 20 tools (Ahrefs, MOZ, SEMrush and more SEO tools in the bundle) for like $16 a month from a group buy. So, it is definitely worth the price I pay.
