Ahrefs

Backlink data and keyword research with the deepest index.

Visit Ahrefs

Ahrefs is expensive and worth it if SEO is a real channel for you, because its crawl of the web is the most complete of the commercial tools. Site Explorer shows who links to a competitor and with what anchor text, which is the single most useful input for a link-building plan. Keyword Explorer covers volume, difficulty, and SERP history.

Where it falls short

The entry price is high with no meaningful free tier beyond limited web tools, so it is hard to justify for a hobby site.
