Ahrefs vs SEO PowerSuite

Ahrefs

This is a very comprehensive tool in terms of ability and information it provides. While it won't give you every link a site has, it will give you most of them and will provide you with the most up to date link information for any site compared to all of the other link crawl providers.

SEO PowerSuite

The software is not quite suitable for e-commerce, yet is powerful for gaining organic results.

Pros

Their backlink database is still one of the most up to date we've seen when compared to similar tools.
The user interface is very intuitive and easy to learn.
They provide you with a lot of great information and the ability to set a date range can really help you narrow things down.

The product was easy to use. I had no problems understanding how to use the product or setting it up.
SEO PowerSuite gave clear concise charts that were easy to read and helped upper level management better understand our strengths and weaknesses
I could pull new information about keyword rankings everyday if I needed to.

Cons

Anchor text alert notifications for a specific domain would be nice to have.
Would also be nice to set a specific client domain and then be able to pick 5 competitor sites to compare it to instead of entering in the client site and then 4 competitors to compare.
Adding emails to forward the exports to from running a report would be good too.

I would have preferred all of the (separate) platforms to be housed in one platform. I did not like having to open different applications for each function.
The pricing structure was not consistent. I did not like paying large sums of money for this platform. I prefer a monthly pricing structure with automatic withdrawls
Lots of updates. Was having to download newer versions of the software all the time. It would have been better if the program was web-based and I did not need to make updates manually

Likelihood to Renew

Ahrefs8.0

Based on 4 answers

Their index is too vast to ignore when looking at a complete backlink profile. We find links in Ahrefs that do not appear in any other link detection tool. For this reason, it's a must for our agency to use for the foreseeable future. Plus, it's very affordable considering the data you get

SEO PowerSuite2.0

Based on 1 answer

I gave SEO PowerSuite a two because our company did not renew our subscription. The pricing was too complicated and having multiple platforms made it more difficult to use. We dropped our subscription to SEO PowerSuite and implemented Moz. Moz gave us a full view of all of the metrics we were looking for on one web-based platform. Plus, the pricing model was simple so it was easier to get senior management to cosign on.

Usability

Ahrefs7.0

Based on 1 answer

Ahrefs is very easy to use - you can jump right in and understand most of the assets. Overall, the dashboard snapshots give a very good picture of inbound link activity. For deeper analysis of historical trends, the system can become cumbersome, making it hard to do full work without exporting and reformatting the data.

We initially chose SEO PowerSuite based on the information we had at the time. I conducted a lot of research and read several reviews on the product before I pitched it to my CMO. It made the most sense at the time. It measured how we performed in the web space compared to our competitors and provided insight on competitor backlink strategy, which is what we wanted. We eventually transitioned over to the Moz platform.

Return on Investment

ROI depends upon how much money you're bringing in. You'll see a positive ROI if you're following the suggestions and implementing the data you receive from Ahrefs for yourself and your clients, and it'll be worth the cost.
