Ahrefs alternatives

People leave Ahrefs over breadth or over seats. It is deliberately an SEO tool rather than a marketing suite, and its lower tiers include one user with credit-based limits.

If the problem is breadth, Semrush covers SEO, PPC, content and social in one account — the trade-off is a denser interface and a higher price, and its plans also include only one seat. If the problem is price, SE Ranking is the value option in this category and Moz Pro is the gentler one, both with less depth in link data specifically.

If you are leaving because you only need one thing, be honest about which: Surfer does content optimisation alone and nothing else, which is cheaper than a suite you use a tenth of.
