Ahrefs is an SEO and marketing platform, not an online publishing platform for writers and readers. It focuses on tools for competitive intelligence, keyword research, site auditing, and rank tracking, which do not align with the core features of a content publishing and distribution platform like Medium. None of the 'must-have' features (rich text editor, distribution & recommendation engine, membership & monetization, reader engagement metrics, community feedback tools) are present in Ahrefs' offerings. While Ahrefs has 'Content Explorer' and 'AI Content Helper', these are for content marketing analysis and generation, not for direct public publishing and community engagement in the way Medium operates.

I've been using Alternative A for 6 months now and it's been fantastic. The pricing is much better and the features are actually more robust than what [Product] offers.
It handles edge cases much better and the API is actually documented properly.

Honestly, after trying both, Competitor B wins hands down. Better customer support, cleaner interface, and they don't nickel and dime you for every feature.
