    Ahrefs
    Chose Ahrefs
    All the competing tools I have used seem to focus on one or two key strengths and then include other features kind of half-baked. Ahrefs is the only tool that feels like they have considered and encompassed all features fully thought out.

    Chose UpCity
    I actually like Ahrefs reporting much better for SEO. It doesn't have checklist system, though. Asana has a checklist system that is much easier to manage and integrates well with our other tools like Slack so we have moved to that for task tracking. The biggest strength UpCity …

    UpCity
    • Customized marketing checklist is incredible!
    • The way UpCity verifies items in your marketing checklist (like whether you have social accounts, you're on Google, etc,) helps my business, and others, save precious time having to manually verify them yourself.
    • I love the impact scores and estimated time shown on each task to give us a feel of how much we are doing each month and what value that time spent is.
    • The "about" and "how to" section on tasks makes it very clear how to accomplish each task.

    Cons
    Ahrefs
    • Can't export graphs: some graphs within the tool would be useful as an export. Unfortunately, exporting them is not an option.
    • No "blanket" reporting options: though Ahrefs is excellent for gathering and exporting intel/data, there are no blanket SEO reports provided. Exporting data is great, but simple report exporting would make it better.

    Ahrefs
    Ahrefs has always been responsive when there's been a technical issue with the site. There are usually very little problems, but if there are, they announce it on their social media accounts which keeps its customers informed. Email support is prompt and the customer service people are very helpful, knowledgable and friendly.

    Alternatives Considered
    Ahrefs
    Majestic and Ahrefs are really close in terms of tool. Ahrefs does offer competitive comparison and they do have a more up to date data base. Majestic however has a more comprehensive historical view of sites which is also extremely valuable. Majestic also offers a link velocity chart that is missing on Ahrefs. Ahrefs makes up for this with their links gained/lost calendar which Majestic is missing.

    UpCity
    • UpCity was costly for us because we were small. If we were a 10 person agency, the price would be right in line with what we need.
    • UpCity has taught us many processes we needed to continue helping our clients be successful.
