Ahrefs Lite is €99/mo. Standard is €179/mo. For an agency billing clients €3,000/mo, this is nothing. For a bootstrapped founder growing a SaaS on the side, it's €1,188/year for a tool you'll use to run one keyword report per month. WriteGap is €179/year for the Growth plan — and it does the research AND writes the article.
Ahrefs is genuinely excellent for backlink analysis, SERP history, content gap reports, and rank tracking at scale. But a solo SaaS founder needs exactly two things: "what should I write this week?" and "can you write it?" Ahrefs answers the first question with a dashboard full of data. WriteGap answers both questions with a brief and a draft.
To use Ahrefs effectively, you need to understand keyword difficulty in context, know how to spot commercial intent, and judge whether a SERP is winnable. That's a skill. WriteGap applies those judgments automatically — you get a filtered list of the 4–12 keywords most worth targeting, not a raw export of 5,000 that needs sorting.
Paste your domain. WriteGap finds your real competitors automatically — tools that rank for the same searches your product should rank for. No manual setup.

For different jobs. Ahrefs is deeper — its keyword data covers more queries, its backlink index is industry-leading, and it has tools for site audits and PPC research. WriteGap is narrower: it finds the keyword gaps between you and your competitors, decides which ones are worth targeting, and writes the article. If you need deep backlink analysis or rank tracking across 10,000 keywords, Ahrefs is the better choice. If you need to publish one well-targeted article per week without an SEO background, WriteGap is faster and 7x cheaper.
Ahrefs Webmaster Tools is free for site owners who verify their domain — but it's limited to your own site's data, not competitor analysis. WriteGap doesn't have a free tier, but every plan includes a 7-day money-back guarantee. If the first brief isn't worth €14.99 to you, you get a refund.
Largely yes. The key insight Ahrefs gives for content creation — "here are keywords your competitors rank for that you don't" — is exactly what WriteGap delivers automatically every Monday. The difference is WriteGap doesn't stop at the data. It decides which keywords matter most, explains why in plain English, and writes the article.
No. WriteGap doesn't track backlinks, domain authority, or link-building opportunities. If backlink monitoring is important to your SEO strategy, you'll need a different tool for that. WriteGap focuses entirely on content: finding the gaps and filling them with articles.
SaaS products and software tools — invoice generators, time trackers, form builders, developer tools, productivity apps. The keyword economics for these products (transactional intent, clear competitors, content moats) are where WriteGap's pipeline works best. E-commerce, local businesses, and pure content blogs aren't the target.
From €14.99/month. 2-minute setup. First brief the Monday after you sign up.
