Director, Content & Website Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 4/9/2024 "Ahrefs - Great product, TERRIBLE customer communication and pricing changes" 2/5 What do you like best about Ahrefs? Its core functionality is unparalleled. It's critical to my day-to-day and achieving large-scale content marketing and SEO strategies and outcomes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Ahrefs? It's pricing is always changing. They do not communicate this properly to customers. This would be fine if it was a less expensive platform, but Ahrefs is not cheap. I've been a customer of Ahrefs for nearly my entire marketing career. At my current company, we've been a customer for 5 years and were on a legacy plan. Last summer they announced plans to migrate everyone to a more expensive AND restrictive plan. Essentially, the core feature of Ahrefs is searching a website or specific URL through its tool to understand and analyze its traffic, keywords, links, etc. I learn from using this feature, and use it dozens of times everyday. After being forced to migrate from a legacy account (which I was told I would not be forced off, and then received in-app communications and emails stating I was being forced off - no customer 1-1 communication at all), I migrated to a more expensive plan. After a few weeks of using it, I realized I couldn't use to tool anymore because I hit my usage limit. That limit? 600 events a month. I've NEVER used a tool that is this expensive that has a basic usage limit. I pay over $2,000 a year to be heavily restricted in the usage of the tool. How am I expected to drive value and learn new features and functionalities of the tool if I can't even use it to the day-to-day requirement level. I've tried to reach out to a CSM to discuss this, and can't even get past the basic tier-1 customer live chat agent who provides no help outside of a disingenuous "sorry".

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Ahrefs? Pricing - They dont care how loyal you are. They force you to move to higher plan without showing geniun data. Force us to move from our $200 plan to $1000 plan saying our usage is increased. We use SEO tool to understand the data and impact of algorithm. We are paying for this only.

Inbound Consultant - Premier Services Marketing and Advertising Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 2/6/2019 "Great tool pricing can increase anytime BE CAREFUL!!!" 2/5 What do you like best about Ahrefs? It's a tool where you can easily do research on competition and get great quality data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Ahrefs? The pricing policy. I purchased the tool for 12 months in end of Jan 2018. This included 5000 SERP updates with a standard plan and all of a sudden, Ahref changed this back to 1000 without any warning. Their pricing page wasn't even reflecting this change, and I was informed about that when talking to a support rep. I understand the Company wants to increase pricing based on improved tools, but when you have made a 12 months purchase in advance, you would expect this new pricing to apply by the end of your contract at least... Or potentially to be grandfathered in the old pricing. But No - Ahref will basically apply this very aggressively with no warning at all or heads up. It's sad, in fact very sad as it shows the company is definitely not customer-centric. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Ahrefs: Grand father customers who paid subscriptions in advance in the old pricing when new feautres appear, and only increase pricing upon their renewal Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Ahrefs solving and how is that benefiting you? I perform advanced competitive analysis to help my clients build better content strategy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
