Hi,
We’re doing roughly 10 million API requests per month across a large set of domain names to pull SEO-style metrics (e.g. backlinks, referring domains, domain authority / trust-type scores, etc.) — and we expect this volume to increase.
Price is the biggest factor.
Right now we’re using Majestic, but we’ve outgrown our current agreement by 10x+ and need to evaluate alternatives (or better-fitting plans).
What APIs are you using at scale, and what would you recommend for this kind of volume?
Ideally I’m looking for:
If you’ve used providers like Ahrefs / Semrush / Moz / DataForSEO / SimilarWeb / etc. (or anything else), I’d really appreciate hearing what worked (and what didn’t), especially with real-world pricing at high request volumes.

Ideally I’m looking for:
- predictable high-volume pricing (not “enterprise-only” if possible)
- decent coverage + reliability
- clear rate limits / bulk endpoints
- any tips on keeping costs down (caching, batching, data freshness strategies)
