Ahrefs plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $29/month | 3 | Entry tier |
| Lite | $129/month | - | +$100/month |
| Standard | $249/month | - | +$120/month |
| Advanced | $449/month | - | +$200/month |
| Enterprise | $1499/month | - | +$1050/month |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.
Starter
$29/monthThe entry tier. It covers core keyword research, backlink analysis, competitor research.
Lite
$129/monthNothing on the record separates this tier from Starter on features. Check the vendor's page for the limits it lifts.
Standard
$249/monthNothing on the record separates this tier from Lite on features. Check the vendor's page for the limits it lifts.
Advanced
$449/monthNothing on the record separates this tier from Standard on features. Check the vendor's page for the limits it lifts.
Enterprise
$1499/monthNothing on the record separates this tier from Advanced on features. Check the vendor's page for the limits it lifts.

People bring Ahrefs in for seo research, competitor analysis, content planning, backlink analysis, rank tracking. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Ahrefs are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
Before you pay for Ahrefs
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 5 tiers between $29/month and $1499/month, with the jump not itemised on the record. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Ahrefs against the tools that do have one before committing.
Ahrefs runs on web, and is published by Ahrefs Pte Ltd of Singapore. The full record is on the Ahrefs review.
Ahrefs pricing questions
- How much does Ahrefs cost?
- Ahrefs publishes 5 tiers, from $29/month for Starter up to $1499/month for Enterprise. The cheapest paid tier is $29/month.
- Does Ahrefs have a free plan?
- Not on the record we hold. Whether a free trial is offered is not something this record captures, so check the vendor's site.
- Is the Enterprise plan on Ahrefs worth it?
- That depends entirely on whether you need what it adds, which on the published record is not itemised separately from the tier below it. It costs $1499/month against $29/month for Starter. Softwr has not used either tier, so this page can tell you what changes, not whether it is worth the difference to you.
- What am I actually paying for with Ahrefs?
- The record lists 25 features across 6 areas: core, integrations, security, deployment, platform, localization. In practice it is brought in for seo research, competitor analysis, content planning.
- Does Ahrefs charge per user?
- The record carries a price and a billing period for each of its 5 tiers, but not the unit that price is charged in. Per-seat and flat-rate billing look identical in this data, so check the vendor's page before budgeting for a team.
- Are these Ahrefs prices current?
- They are what the catalogue entry holds, refreshed when the entry is. Vendors change pricing without notice and nobody at Softwr re-verifies each tier by hand, so treat this as a structured summary and the vendor's own pricing page as the authority.
- What should I compare Ahrefs against before paying?
- Nothing else in this directory is filed close enough to Ahrefs to make a useful price comparison.
