I will continue use Ahrefs with most of my client's projects for its simplicity of use and quick and intuitive user interface, and great email alert service.

Pros

The inspection tools. They grant me a great view of what i need to fix on my website, and i find it more clear than Google Page Speed and google Console.

Cons

Some of the most interesting tools are paid ones, without the chance to try them in a limited way or with a trial.

Response from Ahrefs

Hi Monica,

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review of Ahrefs! We're thrilled to hear that you're enjoying our inspection tools.

I used Ahrefs as my daily keyword research tool and it's the main tool i use for backlink analysis

Pros

Very easy to use
Helpful backlink analysis insights (even has basic insights on a free account)
Splits search volume by country but also gives global figures too
Easy to see what your competitors are doing

Cons

You just have to keep an eye out on your credit usage. I think that part could be clearer

Response from Ahrefs

While we're thrilled that you're getting a lot of value out of your plan, if you have suggestions for how we can improve the clarity around our credit system, we'd love to hear it!

Used to be the best.

Pros

Was a great tool, used it daily. Their credit system and legacy plans makes it too costly and frankly just gets annoying. Moving to se rankings which makes me sad.

Cons

The credit system. It ruined the brand especially as AI rises.

Response from Ahrefs

Hi there,

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. I think there might be some confusion about the credit system, which only applies to new plans, not Legacy plans.

Please don't hesitate to reach out to [email protected] if you would like additonal clarification about your previous Legacy plan.
