If you need to pick ONLY ONE SEO software, go with ahrefs. > > **Cons**: Pricing is quite high. There's a joke running around that even thinking about ahrefs costs you a credit. ----- ### "Years in my digital marketing toolset and will be for years to come" — 5.0/5 > **Paul** | *6 September 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Organisation of massive data into really simple to follow 'flows'. I think just about everyone will find their own fairly unique way of doing the reporting they need but unlike some of the competition - that's fantastic\! Find the data, deep dive into it, explore, collate lists, download, analyse. There's so many opportunities to use this data set. > > **Cons**: I think tools like this start as one thing and then try to move into full stack analysis or usage tools. Ahrefs has done this - so perhaps you're paying for things you don't need - but it has handled it a touch more gracefully than other software. > > I've been a user of Ahrefs for many years. It's a treasure trove of incredible digital marketing data - particularly for SEO, PPC and social research. My personal opinion is that it's handling the pivot to GEO really well and remains a staple of my digital marketing toolset. ----- ### "Tracking our e-commerce search positions." — 4.0/5 > **Amir** | *4 March 2026* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The features of rank tracking are extraordinary as our marketing team can track our positions in the retail keywords easily with an easy navigation. > > **Cons**: The pricing model is not great on value of money to a mid sized retail team, and customer service takes too much time to answer an important security question about user access. > > Being an E-Commerce Manager, it is important to be visible on search engines. I apply this in the management of websites and competition. It gives profound information, yet it would be terribly costly to share seats within the marketing department to work in a team. ----- ### "Declining quality of data since 2023" — 2.0/5 > **Jana** | *24 September 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: We are still a paying user of Ahrefs at TheoryDigital but honestly, there's less and less to like. I have been extensively using the keyword research tool though, to produce writing prompts. That's the only thing that's keeping me there. > > **Cons**: They quit tracking niche keywords in like 2023, probably because of the server cost. So for websites in tiny niches the traffic would routinely be estimated as 0 unless you ranked on major, mainstream keywords. This costed webmasters agency business because some agencies had a process where they evaluated traffic based on Ahrefs and would not accept any alternative way. And now in 2025 they no longer track any positions that rank at over 10th place in Google, because the forced pagination in Google API would make their costs also prohibitive. > > Overall the traffic estimates Ahrefs show are extremely misleading my opinion is that marketing agencies should no longer use this tool as a point of reference about traffic levels on a website. The outdated impression of Ahrefs as a reliable reference is causing damage in the industry. The keyword search has been pretty good as an ideation tool, but I worry that now that they don't access 2+ pages of SERP they will no longer have the data to provide matching queries and related queries that were so great for my process. TLDR processes relying on Ahrefs need to be rebuilt now\! ----- ### "Reliable SEO platform with strong rank tracking and easy navigation" — 5.0/5 > **Hemkesh** | *24 February 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ahrefs is very strong in rank tracking and competitor research. I can clearly see keyword positions and how they change over time. The navigation inside the tool is clean and easy, so moving between Site Explorer, Keywords Explorer and reports feels smooth. For website management, it helps me quickly audit pages, links and content gaps from one place. From a security point of view, access control and account management feel reliable for professional use. It also supports team collaboration well, because multiple people can review the same data and reports easily. > > **Cons**: The biggest concern is value for money, especially for freelancers and small teams, because the pricing is high. Some reports are powerful but not explained clearly, which can slow down work for new users. For customer support, responses are helpful, but sometimes not fast enough when you are working on urgent client projects. > > Overall, my experience with Ahrefs has been very positive. It is a reliable platform for rank tracking, competitor analysis and website management. The tool is easy to use because of its good navigation, and it works well for team collaboration when sharing insights with colleagues. Although the value for money can be a challenge for smaller businesses, the quality of data and stability of the platform make it a strong choice for serious SEO Work. ----- Page: 1 / 25\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ie/software/176340/ahrefs?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ie/software/176340/ahrefs) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
