Stop Paying for Ahrefs & Semrush. Use Codex Instead

Everybody tends to think of CodeX as a working or a coding tool, but nobody knows that now it can do better SEO than Ahrefs SEMrush put together for a fraction of a price. I genuinely think CodeX just became the best and the cheapest SEO tool that you could have. Let me show you what happened. You see,

in the landscape of SEO, if you generally want to do good work, you need a good tool for that. And generally, this means forking out at least $129 a month for paying for Ahrefs and SEMrush. And while these tools can be okay, if you want to access any of their AI data sets, they're going to be hidden cost

everywhere, which make this very, very annoying. And I think they're getting too expensive for not really providing enough value. Like here, the SEO classic plan for SEMrush is $117. By the way, that's if you pay annually. If you pay monthly, nope, it's $139. And oh, do you want some mail visibility? That'll be

$99 extra. It's ridiculous. But now, that's all about to change because of one single LinkedIn post. You see, the founder of DataForSEO just says that from the July 1st, which is in a day or two, or probably by the time you're watching this, you'll get access to everything, including backlinks API and AI optimization data without the $100

subscription. Let me explain. If you watch this channel, you probably know that my go-to is DataForSEO to do SEO work because you can connect it to Claude Code, to CodeX, to practically any AI tool. The only problem was that previously, to get access to two distinct data sets that are very important, the backlink

API access and the large language model API access, you needed to be in some kind of subscription. Usually, DataForSEO is a pay-as-you-go software, meaning that you only pay for what you use and when you use it, it's only like fractions of a cent. Except for these two data sets, but that's now changed.
