Great product, easy to use! My go-to SEO software.

What differentiates Ahrefs from other similar products?
Ahrefs' backlink index is way more inclusive, from what I've seen. I also use them for keyword research, SERP analysis, and competitor domain analysis.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
It's user-friendly. I've been using it for years. Their help content is amazing. Learning to use new features is usually extremely easy.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The cost. They keep raising the price. Once upon a time you could get it for $50/month, then $99/mo, and now they're trying to squeeze out the lowest tier to an even higher price point. They are risking losing huge chunks of their customer base to go after enterprise! Feature-wise, their technical analysis tool sucks. I use Screaming Frog for that, and if I didn't, I would use anything other than Ahref's technical crawler. But most of the other product features are great.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
If you do SEO, you need it. Very useful. Way better than SEMrush, in my opinion.
