| Which plan to pick | Start on Ahrefs Free to audit your own site. If you want to research competitors and keywords every week, go straight to Lite; the Starter plan's credits run out too quickly to be useful for more than the odd lookup. Each plan includes one user, and extra seats cost $40 to $80 a month. | Starter is enough to see where one brand stands. Most businesses with more than one product line or market will want Pro for the extra prompts and countries. Agencies should look at Advanced or Peec's separate agency pricing. | Start free. Add a card to move to pay as you go when you need more projects or longer history, and set billing limits on each product so nothing runs away. The platform packages only matter for compliance or big teams. |
