without a subscription

Sign in with Google and Search Console access connects itself
SEO tools are expensive
Ahrefs Lite is $99 a month. Semrush Pro, $129. SE Ranking, $52. Over a year that is $600 to $1,500 for a dashboard sitting on top of data Google Search Console already has.
NeAhrefs is a free affpapa.org service for your own sites. It takes what is already in Search Console and adds deltas, an audit and alerts. It will not show you other people's sites, and it has no web index of its own the way Ahrefs does.
What you can do
GSC analytics
Clicks, impressions, average position, CTR. 28-day deltas. Grouped by page, query, country and device.
Technical audit
A crawler covering up to 2,000 pages per session. 16 problem types: broken links, duplicate titles and descriptions, missing alt text, redirect chains. Health score 0–100.
Core Web Vitals
LCP, CLS, INP, TTFB through the PageSpeed Insights API. Measurement history, per-URL trends, alerts on degradation.
Keyword research
Google Autocomplete for free. DataForSEO with your own key — volume, difficulty, CPC, month-by-month trends.
Rank tracking
Positions for your key queries. Daily history, charts, deltas, alerts on a drop.
Backlinks
Referring domains, anchors, new and lost links — with your own DataForSEO key. Without a key you see only the outbound links from your own pages in the last crawl.
Cannibalisation
Automatic detection of pages competing for the same queries, with suggestions for consolidating the content.
Content decay
Pages losing traffic, prioritised by how much of it a refresh could bring back.

The honest limits
NeAhrefs monitors your own sites; it does not analyse other people's. It has no trillion-page web index of its own the way Ahrefs or Semrush do.
The crawler handles up to 2,000 pages per session. On a site with millions of pages that is a sample audit, not a full crawl.
Keyword research with volume and difficulty needs the DataForSEO API — your own key, paid. Without it you get Google Autocomplete.
Backlinks also need your paid DataForSEO key. Without one, NeAhrefs shows the outbound links from your own pages in the last crawl, which is not a link profile.
