"Comprehensive Free Ahrefs Dashboards for Powerful Site Overviews"

5/5

What do you like best about Ahrefs?

The comprehensive and efficiently designed set of dashboards built into the free version of Ahrefs provides a lot of useful information even without upgrades. If you have a lot of sites to manage, the overview dashboard is information-dense and the Health Score feature is a useful tracking tool not available in other free tools.

Although I use multiple tools to track client sites, I find myself coming back to AHREFS both for a better overview and for deep-dive content. Screenshots of their metrics are often featured in my client reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ahrefs?

Many of the features I’d like to use are costly (or require extra-cost upgrades). I understand they need to monetize their services, but there are so many features in this category that I’ve generally only paid for them when I needed them short-term. I just wish they offered a lower-priced tier between the free plan and the next level up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ahrefs solving and how is that benefiting you?

Ahrefs helps me to manage a large number of sites with differing needs and service volume in a way that no other tool can do for me. Both the Overview dashboard and Site Explorer give me detailed views that I prefer over most others for detecting anomalies and prioritizing work. I use Ahrefs to verify stats on other platforms like SpyFu as well. The learning curve was relatively easy, although there are still many features I don't use and may add in future.
