The Ahrefs Alternative That Thinks For You

Ahrefs has the best backlink database in the industry. But if you don't know what to do with 1 billion links, you need something different.

The problem with Ahrefs

Ahrefs costs $99-999/mo and is built for SEO professionals

The interface assumes you already know SEO methodology

Getting actionable insights requires manual analysis and interpretation

Overkill for most businesses that just want to improve their SEO

Why teams choose Colma instead
