Details
Ahrefs tells you three things: what your competitors rank for, what backlinks they have, and what keywords you have a realistic chance of ranking for. That is the information you need to decide if organic search is worth pursuing for your business.
At $99/month, this is not a casual purchase. But if organic traffic is a key part of your growth strategy, Ahrefs pays for itself by keeping you from wasting months targeting keywords you will never rank for. Try their free webmaster tools first to see if the data is useful for your situation before committing to a paid plan.
Hypefury schedules and automates social posts for creators. It began as a Twitter tool, but its pricing page now states that it no longer supports X. It covers Bluesky, Threads, LinkedIn, Instagram and TikTok instead. The Flexible plan costs $6 a month per channel and includes unlimited scheduling and autoplugs. The Full plan costs $19 a month for all channels and adds cross-posting, LinkedIn carousels, analytics and an AI trained on your past posts.
Bootstrapped to 7 figures by Samy Dindane (built MVP in 3 days) and Yannick Veys. 100% remote, 100% bootstrapped, no investors.
