Alternatives to MOZ Open Site Explorer

[ian]

Anyone got any recommendations for alternatives to Moz OSE (free version) that comes to an end next week? Using a few already, but nothing as a direct comparison to OSE.

OSE data sucks badly. Majestic is much more reliable.

Agree with Martin, Majestic is much better.

Although it's not free, I would suggest AHREFS, data seems to be the best of the bunch and a lot of good tools on there

Moz seems to have lost it's data quality over the last 12 months. I don't use it now to judge domains - I much prefer majestic.

OSE's replacement : https://moz.com/link-explorer , is actually pretty good and the data is much more up to date. But I agree above, Majestic and Ahrefs are tough to beat, along with my personal favourite SEMrush. I think the market is missing a good free alternative that provides "enough" data for quick analysis when paid plans are OTT.

That's actually pretty good.

URL profiler is also worth a look for a very very reasonable price compared to most : https://urlprofiler.com/pricing/

Ahrefs is the best in terms of pages indexed and links identified, but their DR metrics are BS. Majestic TF is the best trust metric in the industry by quite a margin IMHO.

Thanks all, I already use Majestics but OSE was just handy for very quick backlink checks; it has served me well enough not to look at too many others, but I'd certainly check out all those above.
