Semrush charges $139.95/month.
Ahrefs charges $129/month.

A guy named Ben built the open-source alternative that you can run on your computer.

It is called OpenSEO.

Enter a competitor's website and it reveals the keywords bringing them traffic, the pages winning those searches, and the backlinks helping them rank.

And enter your own site and it tracks rankings, crawls technical problems, reads Search Console, and shows whether ChatGPT or Google AI Overviews mention your brand.

Then connect Claude or Codex.

Your agent can pull the real numbers, compare opportunities, cluster keywords, and save a strategy back into the dashboard instead of guessing from a prompt.

The hosted version starts at $10 a month. The entire codebase is MIT licensed, so you can also self-host it and pay DataForSEO directly for only the data you use.

No, it does not magically reproduce every database and advanced feature Ahrefs built over a decade.

But it breaks the most important rule of the old SEO market:

You no longer need their permission to own the tool.

@jakezward SEO is dying because Google is dying

@Charles_SEO How do you find Guest Posts that aren’t farms? That’s the hard part

@PassiveSphere Awesome work! What's your lowest campaign offering?

[tom @ap12341512]

@AndrewLeeReal @iannuttall He likely made way more money promoting his AI writer with that post

[tom @ap12341512]

@Charles_SEO The PageRank algorithm is over 27 years old. A few changes over the years but it fundamentally remains the same.

Google is definitely in decline and AI has been the biggest disruption they've seen.

@webjuice_ie @KaiCromwell Do you use cloud stacks directly to money site or as T2 + T3?

[tom @ap12341512]

@rustybrick @searchliaison @lilyraynyc No sympathy. Tweak the algorithm to favor UGC and authority sites this is what you get!

[tom @ap12341512]

@autobloggingai What niche?

[tom @ap12341512]

@PassiveSphere @SearchForRyan What type of product?

[tom @ap12341512]

@Charles_SEO What search operators do you use?
Niche + guest post is mostly link farms
