Moz Pro is the SEO platform that invented Domain Authority — keyword research, site audits, rank tracking and link analysis with the industry-standard DA/PA metrics used by millions of SEOs.
Domain Authority (DA) is the industry-standard link metric — used in virtually every SEO report
Link Explorer has one of the largest backlink indices after Ahrefs and Semrush
Keyword Explorer provides accurate volume and difficulty scores with SERP feature analysis
MozBar Chrome extension gives instant DA/PA data on any page while browsing
Moz invented Domain Authority -- the metric used by the majority of the SEO industry to evaluate link prospects and benchmark site strength. Whether you use Moz, Ahrefs, or Semrush as your primary SEO tool, the DA scores you reference in link building outreach come from Moz. For link building teams, this means Moz gives you the most granular and historically deep link data for the metric that your outreach targets actually care about. The Moz Pro suite also covers keyword research, site audits, rank tracking, and SERP analysis in one of the most accessible interfaces in the category for teams without a dedicated SEO engineer.
How it works
Moz Pro organises around four core workflows. Keyword Explorer surfaces keyword difficulty scores, organic click-through estimates, SERP feature analysis, and competitor keyword gaps. Link Explorer provides backlink analysis, spam score evaluation, and link opportunity discovery for any domain. Site Crawl audits technical SEO issues across up to 500K pages, prioritised by severity. Rank Tracker monitors position changes for tracked keywords over time with local ranking support.
The MozBar browser extension adds Domain Authority, Page Authority, and spam scores to every Google search results page and website you visit -- making it the most practical day-to-day tool in the suite for SEO practitioners who evaluate link prospects continuously. The extension is free and available to non-subscribers, making it the most widely used individual Moz product.
Pricing reality
Four tiers from Standard at $99/month to Premium at $599/month. The JoinSecret 25% deal reduces Standard to $74.25/month (monthly billing) or approximately $59.25/month on annual billing. Medium at $143/month (annual) is the tier most link building teams need -- it covers 3 tracked domains, 5,000 keyword rankings, and full Link Explorer access with no daily query limits.

Who should buy, who should skip
Buy if
Your team builds links and prospects are evaluated using DA -- Moz data is the most accurate for the metric you quote in outreach.
You need an all-in-one SEO suite accessible to content writers and marketing generalists, not just SEO specialists.
You want site audit and rank tracking alongside link research without paying Ahrefs or Semrush entry prices.
You benchmark domain authority against competitors for agency client reporting -- Moz is the industry standard for this metric.
Skip if
Keyword research and content gap analysis are your primary use cases -- Ahrefs has a materially larger keyword index and more advanced content research tools.
You only need DA scores for occasional prospect evaluation -- the free MozBar extension and 10 monthly free queries cover light use without a subscription.
You need competitive PPC intelligence -- Semrush covers paid search data that Moz does not include in its suite.
For link building teams, Moz is the most accurate tool for the metric the industry actually uses -- Domain Authority. The 25% JoinSecret discount makes Standard plan $74.25/month, competitive with Ahrefs and Semrush at similar feature breadth. If your team spends time qualifying link prospects by DA every day, Moz is the authoritative source worth paying for.

What members say
“Good for DA checks, outclassed on link analysis by Ahrefs”
“Keyword Explorer difficulty scores are reliable for prioritisation”
Domain Authority (DA) is a proprietary score developed by Moz that predicts how likely a website is to rank in search engine results. It is calculated on a 1 to 100 scale based on the quality and quantity of inbound links. DA is the most widely used link evaluation metric in SEO outreach and agency client reporting, even by teams that do not use Moz as their primary tool.
How does Moz compare to Ahrefs?
Moz Pro is stronger for Domain Authority accuracy, site auditing for non-technical teams, and local SEO management. Ahrefs has a larger keyword index, more comprehensive content gap analysis, and a more complete backlink dataset by total link count. Most enterprise SEO teams use both; individual contributors typically choose one based on their primary workflow.
Is Moz free?
Moz offers 10 free monthly queries on Keyword Explorer and Link Explorer without a subscription, plus a free MozBar browser extension that shows DA, PA, and spam scores on any page. The free tier is useful for occasional prospect evaluation but is not sufficient for regular SEO work.
What is the JoinSecret 25% Moz discount?
The JoinSecret deal provides 25% off all annual Moz Pro plans for 12 months. Standard drops from $99/month to $74.25/month, Medium from $179/month to $134.25/month. After 12 months, billing reverts to standard annual pricing.
How many sites can I track in Moz Pro?
Standard plan tracks 1 domain with 500 keywords and 1 crawled site. Medium tracks 3 domains with 5,000 keywords and 5 crawled sites. Large tracks 10 domains with 10,000 keywords and 25 crawled sites. Premium tracks 25 domains with 25,000 keywords and 50 crawled sites.
Does Moz offer a free trial?
Yes. Moz Pro offers a 30-day free trial with full access to all features. No credit card is required to start the trial.
