Free plan

Free plan. A free account exists but needs site-ownership verification, so competitor research is not possible without paying.

What to watch

  • The vendor FAQ says annual billing means paying for 10 months and getting 12; no per-month annual figure was read, so annual is left empty. Starter is monthly only.
  • Starter and Lite use a monthly credit quota; Standard and higher use fair-use unlimited credits.
  • Enterprise starts at $1,499 a month according to a vendor blog post.
  • Ahrefs last changed all plans in June 2024; older subscribers may be on legacy plans at different prices.
