Cons of Ahref
One of the biggest downsides of using Ahref is that it’s an expensive tool. You can opt for the $99 or $179 plan depending on your needs. But this can be an expensive cost especially for new bloggers just starting out.
Another downside is that each plan has limits on how many times you can use each tool. This can be difficult to manage when you are using the tool to analyze or improve one specific SEO aspect of your website.
For example, if you are using the tool to generate a list of keywords that you can write. It’s likely that you will use the entire allowance for the keyword tool before you have completed your research.
Another downside of using Ahref is that it can take time to understand and learn how to use the data they provide to improve your site. There is a bit of a learning curve with understanding the tools and their uses which can be a bit overwhelming for new bloggers.
