I'm not sure you got the idea. You wan't be charged for "tracking", but will be for getting keywords your site ranks for. So one page (50) of keywords your site ranks for would cost around $0.05. You can do it twice a week, resulting in 8 requests/month, $0.4 total bill.


Double checked, your search is cached for 5 minutes (that's the timeframe when new request would not happen)


It was like 30 secs the back-n-forth The same happened when the tab was left opened for a long time and chrome auto-refreshed it or something to that effect. Again, it was counted as new search. This doesn’t seem like a good use of resources or how one would expect to spend « credits » It’s like being charged for a page view


We're investigating it deeper, thanks for the feedback!


Update is live. The same request should not happen during the same session (while browser tab is open)


I think the best place to learn is Afrefs Academy


It does come from multiple tools inside Google Ads


Thank you!


Thanks for feedback! We'll try to make it as clear as possible.

To your question: you're getting billed every time request happens - second page and new filters produce a new request to get data from the provider


This isn't clear though, because under the search it tells you the number of results, so you think you've paid for all those results, but you haven't. You've only paid for the first page. And how can I export multiple pages?


Exactly! I've been using Ahrefs for a couple times a months and the price is sill the same


How does the keyword data in telescope compare to the data in Ahrefs? (monthly global volume, keyword difficulty, etc)?


It's extremely close to real data just like in Ahrefs


Thanks for the link


Hi. Your searches cached locally for some time, reloading the page clears the cache


Thanks. I don't want it to take away from the accomplishment this is and look forward to the tweak - it seemed to further charge me if I reloaded an existing search page.


agreed on this, caching would be very nice. i don't care if results are even a week+ out of date


It makes sense, I agree. We'll try to adjust this


For sure you win in pricing using Telescope, but here are the things to consider:

There are quite a few limits in Ahrefs's Starter plan, but on the other hand you have access to Site Explorer and Site Audit which we don't have just yet. For Keyword Research it's almost 1:1.

Thank you!
