Do I need an Ahrefs or Semrush subscription to see this?
Not for referring domains and link gaps - both come from the open Common Crawl graph this page runs on. The paid suites still win on live re-crawl, rank tracking and keyword research, so we put them side by side tool by tool in the SEO tool alternatives comparison (Ahrefs, Semrush).
