SaaS Pricing Change Tracker

Ahrefs API access now comes with every paid plan from Lite — but it's capped at 10 rows per request until you reach Enterprise.

Ahrefs' own plan guide states that all Lite and higher plans have API access, with a maximum of 10 rows per request on Lite, 25 on Standard and 100 on Advanced. Only Enterprise ($1,490/mo) has unlimited rows. Its API documentation adds that eligible paid plans include a monthly unit allowance, every request costs at least 50 units, and pay-as-you-go overage applies on supported plans. The widely quoted figure of roughly $949/month (Advanced plus a separate API subscription) does not match anything on Ahrefs' current pages — we published it ourselves until today. We can't confirm whether Ahrefs changed its model or the figure was wrong from the start, so this is logged as a clarification rather than a dated price change.

Ahrefs' public pricing page shows EUR to European visitors, with no currency switcher. The USD list prices are unchanged.

Checking ahrefs.com/pricing from Europe returns EUR 119 / 229 / 419 for Lite / Standard / Advanced with no way to switch currency, which can read as a price change. It isn't one: Ahrefs' own plan guide states the USD list as Starter $29, Lite $129, Standard $249, Advanced $449, Enterprise $1,490 per month. Worth knowing before quoting a figure scraped from the pricing page in a European session — the same geolocation trap we hit with Mangools in July, where EUR ran materially above USD. Ahrefs advertises 'up to 17%' off annual billing but does not publish a flat per-tier annual rate, so we do not quote one.

Mangools discontinued its cheapest plan, raising the entry point by $10/mo.

The Entry tier is gone. Basic is now the floor. The prices of the surviving plans did not change — Basic, Premium and Agency are still $49 / $69 / $129 monthly and $29.90 / $44.90 / $89.90 billed annually. So nothing got more expensive; the cheap door was simply closed. Anyone quoting a $19.90 Mangools plan is working from the old lineup.

Semrush retired Pro, Guru and Business. The classic SEO track now has exactly one tier.

The entry plan is now called simply 'SEO' at $139.95/mo ($117.33 annually). Everything above it belongs to a separate AI-bundled line — Starter $199, Pro+ $299, Advanced $549 — so going beyond the entry plan means switching product, not upgrading within one. Advanced is the tier that carries API access, the role Business used to play. We found no classic-only successor to Guru. Most pricing articles ranking today still list the retired plans.

Serpstat no longer runs an affiliate program.

Relevant if you publish about SEO tools: the Serpstat affiliate program has been discontinued, so any existing referral links earn nothing. Its tiered structure previously started at 10% — well below the 'up to 30%' usually advertised for it. We removed our own Serpstat links as a result.

Frase moved to Starter / Professional / Scale, and the entry price is far above what older reviews quote.

Entry is now Starter at $49/mo monthly ($39 billed annually). Reviews still quoting $15 or $45 plans predate the restructure. The volume model also changed, from documents per month to AI-optimised articles per month, so old and new limits are not directly comparable.

Two different price lists circulate under the NeuronWriter name. Only one of them is NeuronWriter's.

NeuronWriter's own pricing is Bronze through Diamond, $23-$117/mo ($19-$97 billed annually, 20% off yearly), published at neuronwriter.com/pricing-neuron. A second, completely different list — Starter / Freelance / Business / Agency / Enterprise at EUR 19-297/mo excluding VAT, with a '-50% BETA' discount on yearly contracts — appears at app.neuronwriter.com/pricing. That second list is for Contadu, the sibling Content Intelligence platform from the same company (CONTI SP. Z O.O.); its tier names and feature rows (content strategy, keywords/URLs/backlinks inventories) are Contadu's, not NeuronWriter's, and NeuronWriter's own page is deliberately at the /pricing-neuron path to separate the two. If you were quoted EUR prices for 'NeuronWriter', you were most likely looking at Contadu.
