  • Is there a limit on how many pages I can crawl?

    Yes, you get 5,000 crawl credits per verified project per month. These credits are only used up when you crawl an HTML page with status code 200, so other URLs like broken URLs, redirects or any non-HTML resources aren't counted.

    Yes, you’ll be able to see up to 1000 keywords at once, and use our sorting and filtering options to uncover keywords that you rank well for.
  • Can I later upgrade my AWT account to a premium Ahrefs subscription?

  • Are the tools (or data) in AWT any different from those in Ahrefs?
