Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Moz
- Moz refreshes its link index less often and discovers fewer links than Ahrefs, so a new backlink frequently appears in Ahrefs days before it shows up in Link Explorer, which matters if link acquisition reporting is your job.
- Rank tracking is weekly on every tier, so a site watching a volatile SERP or validating a same-week change cannot see daily movement without buying a separate rank tracker.
- The Standard plan allows only 150 keyword queries a month, which a single afternoon of research exhausts, and the jump to a workable 5,000 queries means paying 179 USD a month rather than 99.
- Almost every limit is separately metered and separately billable: extra seats are 49 USD each, campaigns 10 USD, tracked keywords 20 USD per 200, crawl capacity 15 USD per 50,000 pages, so the real bill drifts well above the plan price.
- Domain Authority is a Moz score, not a Google ranking factor, and teams that optimise for it directly are optimising for a proxy that its own vendor sells.
- Moz Local is a separate subscription per location, so a business with twenty sites is buying a second product at twenty times the per-location price on top of Moz Pro.
Zoho Analytics
- The free plan is limited to 2 users, 10,000 rows and 5 workspaces
- Plans are sold with a minimum user count: Basic starts at 2 users, Standard at 5, Premium at 15 and Enterprise at 50
- Row capacity is part of the plan, starting at 0.5 million rows on Basic, and additional rows are sold as add-ons
- Viewer licences are sold in blocks of 25 minimum rather than one at a time
- Data alerts are capped per plan at 10, 30 and 100 active alerts across the whole account
- REST API usage is metered in API units per day, from 4,000 per day on the lowest paid tier, with extra units sold separately
- Logo rebranding and hiding the Powered By Zoho Analytics message on embedded reports are not available on the lower plans
- Activity logs and cluster analysis are excluded from the lower plans
- The white label embedded analytics offering has no published price and requires contacting Zoho
- Local taxes such as VAT and GST are charged on top of the listed prices

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Moz: How much does Moz Pro cost?
Starter is 49 USD a month for a single site. Standard is 99 USD a month or 79 USD billed annually, Medium 179 or 143, and Large 299 or 239. Moz lists first-year annual totals of 950, 1,719 and 2,868 USD respectively.
Zoho Analytics: Is there a free plan available?
Yes, Zoho Analytics offers a permanent free plan with 2 users, 10,000 rows, and 5 workspaces. A 15-day free trial is also available for paid plans, no credit card required.
SourceMoz: Is Moz or Ahrefs better?
Ahrefs is the stronger choice for backlink depth, index freshness and competitive research, and its Lite plan is 129 USD against Moz Standard at 99. Moz is the better buy if you need Domain Authority as a reportable metric, if local listings management matters, or if 49 USD a month for a single site is the budget.
Zoho Analytics: Can I cancel my subscription at any time?
Yes, you can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel your subscription at any time. It operates as a month-to-month, pay-as-you-go service with full flexibility.
SourceMoz: What do the Moz free tools give you?
Free Domain Analysis with Domain Authority, limited Keyword Explorer and Link Explorer queries, Competitive Research, a Brand Authority check and MozCast volatility tracking. Campaigns, site crawls and rank tracking all require a paid plan.
Zoho Analytics: What is the difference between monthly and yearly billing?
Yearly billing provides a 20% discount compared to monthly rates. Both options are available for all subscription tiers.
SourceMoz: Is Domain Authority a Google ranking factor?
No. It is a Moz model that predicts ranking strength on a 1 to 100 scale. Google does not use it. It is useful as a comparative shorthand, not as a target.
Zoho Analytics: How much do additional users and data rows cost beyond what is included in my plan?
Additional users, data rows, and viewers are available as paid add-ons. The page does not specify the exact per-unit cost for these add-ons.
SourceMoz: How often does Moz update rankings?
Weekly on every Moz Pro tier. Competitors such as SE Ranking update daily as standard.
Zoho Analytics: How often can I refresh my data in each tier?
Basic allows 1 refresh per day, Standard and Premium allow 8 per day, and Enterprise allows 24 per day. Dedicated Compute offers custom refresh rates.
