Majestic is the backlink specialist's backlink tool. While Ahrefs and Semrush try to be everything to everyone, Majestic focuses on one thing: mapping the web's link graph. Trust Flow and Citation Flow are its own metrics, and the Historic Index covers a long span of link history. It is often paired with a broader suite such as Ahrefs for link audits and penalty recovery. Here is when you need it and when Ahrefs alone is enough. The plan table on this page shows current prices and the date they were checked.

Strengths and drawbacks
What you get
- Trust Flow and Citation Flow metrics are unique and respected in the link building community
- Topical Trust Flow categorises backlink quality by topic, which few other tools offer
- Historic Index covers a long span of backlink history, useful for penalty recovery and audits
What holds it back
- Only does backlink analysis. No keyword research, no rank tracking, no site audit
- UI is clunky and feels dated
The verdict
Majestic is the specialist's specialist. Trust Flow is a useful metric that Ahrefs and Semrush do not replicate, and the Historic Index suits deep backlink research. For most people, though, Ahrefs handles backlinks well enough alongside everything else.
