03

04

FAQ
Common questions
Why does Ahrefs not offer a free trial?
Ahrefs removed their free trial and has not offered one since. Their reasoning has not been publicly disclosed. For teams that need to evaluate before committing, this is a barrier.
Does Pinealizer have better backlink data than Ahrefs?
No. Ahrefs has the best backlink database in the industry. Pinealizer's backlink analysis is solid but not at Ahrefs' scale. Where Pinealizer leads is AI visibility: AIO scores, GEO optimization, factual density NLP, and AI citation monitoring, none of which Ahrefs offers.
Can I use Pinealizer alongside Ahrefs?
Yes. Many teams use Ahrefs for backlink research and Pinealizer for AI visibility auditing. The tools complement each other.
