Ask HN: What’s the best SEO software these days?

9 points by jw1224 ↗ HN
I’ve used Moz and Ahrefs, but both feel a bit dated. There’s SEMRush too — but all three of these big players in the space have been around for years, with seemingly little competition.

Are there any exciting new up-and-comers innovating in SEO software?

Mostly used Ahrefs so far, and tried SEMRush briefly. Ahrefs definitely feels better when it comes to KW research and analyzing competitor's websites.

I use ahref, tried SEMrush and like it but seems 5x more expensive for the same stuff. And, the UI/UX is 10x more confusing.

I used Moz for 5 years but switched to AHREF about 1.5 years ago.

I've tried others but nothing beats ahref yet.

Buzzstream and Majestic.

The predictive type in Google search, along with "People also search." In a pinch I use Google Trends.

ubersuggest has a good backlink and keyword volume database for its price. But ahrefs is still the most comprehensive (just expensive).
