Questions? We have answers
Is this actually free — no credit card?
Yes. No credit card, no trial period, no hidden charges. Create an account and start using the tools.What does “verified website” mean?
Some tools — Site Explorer, Site Audit, and Web Analytics — require you to verify ownership of your website first. It’s a quick process. Social Media Manager, AI Content Helper, and the Toolbar work without it.What happens if I want more data or more tools?
You can upgrade to a paid plan at any time from your account settings. Your free account stays active regardless.What’s the difference between Ahrefs Free and Ahrefs Webmaster Tools?
They’re the same account. Ahrefs Webmaster Tools is the original name — built around SEO tools for your verified websites. As Ahrefs expanded into content, social, and analytics, the free account grew with it. Ahrefs Free is the same plan, renamed to reflect everything it now includes.
