whoever is wondering about the website home page design, it looks direct copy paste from here: https://tailwindui.com/components/marketing/elements/headers...

I hate that, on the linked page, most of the good ones are paid templates. :( Is there a repository of high quality but free templates. I hate to use bait and switch websites/frameworks.

Let me know if you find one. You can design your website yourself by taking inspiration from other different websites but as a person who is not a web designer gaining consistency in your design is tough. Usually a template is not enough, it may help you with some scaffolding (such as setting a theme or fonts) but you need to have some knowledge about web design to at least make it look consistent.

For OP: Would you say this is a drop-in replacement from ahref's lite plan ? What would I miss from ahref ?

For sure you win in pricing using Telescope, but here are the things to consider:

There are quite a few limits in Ahrefs's Starter plan, but on the other hand you have access to Site Explorer and Site Audit which we don't have just yet. For Keyword Research it's almost 1:1.

Thank you!

Hi, congrats on the launch! Are searches cached locally in my account? I accidentally reload a page, it seems to run the search again and charge the (free and provided) balance. Thanks

Hi. Your searches cached locally for some time, reloading the page clears the cache

Could you enlighten us what is new here?

Your marketing is quite misleading. The value of Ahrefs and SemRush is not in the research but in the representation the clickstream data and backlinks. The data you provide is available also for free in the Keyword Planner Tool, except that it isn’t visualized on fancy shadow-cdn tables. There are dozens of extensions that do all this for free.

Nightwatch.io recently launched a free keyword research and everything else this seem to do, and much more powerful suite for a fraction of the price.

It doesn’t have 3rd party data providers, and the most accurate ranking data, and I would personally not pay for anything that relies on the providers you mentioned (you can fact check how outdated their data is).

I’m affiliated with Nightwatch and the SERP Simulator Chrome Extension.
