It’s 2026, can we please have an ahrefs alternative?

As someone that builds websites for folks I struggle with the cost of paying for a AHREFS every month, especially after the last few rate hikes.

You would think that there would be a better alternative out there, but I’ve tested SEMrush and some of the other tools and I keep coming back to AHREFS because Ive come to rely on the reports, which I send to clients each month.

I am half tempted to have Openclaw take a crack at building an alternative at this point. Does anyone have any bright idea ideas?
