How this page is made
Alternatives come from Ahrefs's own category, AI marketing tools. Prices come from each vendor's pricing page and are compared at the same volume where both can be computed, and by starting price where neither can. "States that Ahrefs doesn't" lists what we found on the other vendor's site and didn't find on Ahrefs's, which doesn't prove Ahrefs lacks it. How prices are read.
