Step-by-step: download invoices from Ahrefs

  1. 1

    Sign in as the account owner or admin

    Go to app.ahrefs.com and sign in. Billing in Ahrefs is tied to the account owner and users with the Admin role. Team members on the Viewer or Member roles cannot see the Billing tab at all, which is a common point of confusion when a bookkeeper is added under the wrong seat type. Switch user if you landed on the wrong login by accident.

  2. 2

    Open Account then Billing

    Click your profile icon in the top-right corner and choose Account. In the left sidebar, click Billing. The direct URL is app.ahrefs.com/account/billing. This page shows your current plan (Lite, Standard, Advanced, or Enterprise), the seats you are paying for, your renewal date, the payment method, and the list of past invoices in the Payment history section.

  3. 3

    Download each invoice as PDF

    Scroll to Payment history. Each row lists the invoice date, description, amount, and a download icon. Click the icon to open the invoice PDF. Ahrefs invoices list Ahrefs Pte. Ltd. in Singapore as the seller, with your company details as the buyer if you added them. Annual plans produce one big invoice a year, monthly plans produce twelve smaller ones, and any mid-cycle upgrade generates its own extra document.

  4. 4

    File the PDFs where finance can find them

    Rename each file with a consistent pattern such as date-Ahrefs-amount, and drop it in the folder your accountant expects. If you have the API add-on or extra user seats layered on top of the base plan, keep those invoices together with the main subscription so the numbers still tie out when you reconcile the month.

About Ahrefs billing

Ahrefs is the SEO toolset your marketing team cannot stop using. Pulling the invoice out of it every month is a separate problem, one that finance almost always inherits.

Billing lives in a single dashboard tab, which sounds simple until you notice that seats, shared credits, API usage, and mid-cycle upgrades all settle in different ways on the same PDF. Singapore-based invoicing adds one more wrinkle for anyone used to domestic SaaS vendors.

Ahrefs plan credits (Site Explorer lookups, Keywords Explorer reports, Site Audit crawl budget) are pooled across every seat on the account, reset monthly, and do not roll over. One SEO manager running heavy competitive analysis in the first week can exhaust the shared quota for the whole team before invoices even arrive. The PDF shows the base plan fee, not the per-user burn, so finance and marketing need to reconcile usage separately if anyone asks "what did we actually pay for."

About Ahrefs

Ahrefs is an all-in-one SEO toolset covering Site Explorer (backlink analysis), Keywords Explorer, Site Audit, Rank Tracker, and Content Explorer. Founded in 2010 and headquartered in Singapore under Ahrefs Pte. Ltd., it serves SEO professionals, agencies, and in-house marketing teams with four self-serve tiers (Lite, Standard, Advanced) plus a negotiated Enterprise plan. Pricing scales on user seats layered on top of the tier, with shared monthly credits across tools and a separate API add-on for programmatic access. Invoices are issued directly by Ahrefs Pte. Ltd. from Singapore to every market it serves.

Why people stop doing this by hand

One Ahrefs account on a flat annual plan with no API usage is easy to handle manually. One PDF a year, filed, done.

Agencies running Ahrefs for themselves plus a client logo under a separate workspace are a different story. Each account has its own Payment history to walk, its own API add-on charges to reconcile, and its own seat churn as freelancers cycle on and off projects. Every mid-cycle upgrade generates an extra pro-rated PDF that marketing never flags to finance, and every downgrade at renewal changes the credit quota in ways nobody captures in a spreadsheet.

The Singapore entity also trips up bookkeepers used to US or EU vendors. Ahrefs Pte. Ltd. is the seller on every invoice worldwide, which means the reverse-charge treatment has to be set up correctly in Billing information before the first invoice is generated, not after. Past invoices cannot be reissued with a tax ID added retroactively, so a skipped setup step becomes a permanent wart on last year's books.

The Ahrefs API does not expose billing data in a way that solves this for you either. The self-serve dashboard is the only supported path, and it is built for an SEO manager glancing at the renewal date, not a finance team trying to close a month across three tools.

Next step

One Ahrefs seat, one annual plan, one bookkeeping contact: the dashboard is enough. Multiple agency workspaces, API usage layered on top, or a finance team that wants every SaaS PDF to land in the same place: connect Ahrefs to Inbox Ledger once and stop hunting for the Singapore invoice every month.

Where to look in the dashboard

  • Profile icon then Account then Billing is where invoices and the Payment history list live
  • Profile icon then Account then Users is where you control who can see the Billing tab (Admin role required)
  • Profile icon then Account then Billing then Billing information is where you add or edit company name, address, and tax ID
  • Enterprise accounts are billed outside the dashboard with PDFs delivered by email from the Ahrefs finance team
  • The API add-on generates its own charges which appear either as separate invoices or as extra line items on the main invoice

Before you start — quick checklist

  • Your company legal name and billing address appear as the buyer, not your personal email alone
  • Ahrefs Pte. Ltd. is listed as the seller, with the Singapore address
  • Singapore GST is broken out on the PDF if your billing country is Singapore, or reverse-charged if you are outside Singapore and added a valid tax ID
  • The invoice covers the correct billing period (annual in one line, monthly in twelve lines)
  • API add-on usage or mid-cycle upgrade charges appear as separate line items you recognize
  • The document is a finalized PDF with a sequential invoice number, not an email receipt preview

Pro tips

  • Ahrefs plans bill on seats and share quotas. Credits for Site Explorer, Keywords Explorer, and crawl budget for Site Audit are pooled across every user on the account, so one heavy user can drain the allowance before the month ends. The invoice shows the base plan fee but will not itemize per-user consumption.
  • Credits refresh on your plan renewal date and do not roll over. Unused report credits at month end are gone. If you switched from monthly to annual mid-cycle, your renewal date moves, which subtly changes when the quota resets.
  • Annual plans come with a roughly two-months-free discount compared to monthly billing, so the annual PDF is meaningfully smaller than twelve monthly PDFs summed. Finance teams comparing year-over-year spend should match billing frequency, not just vendor name.
  • The API add-on is billed separately on top of the base plan with usage-based charges. Those charges can show up as their own invoice or as extra line items depending on how your account is configured. Check both when you reconcile, especially if a developer on your team started calling the API without telling finance.
  • Enterprise contracts are invoiced manually by the Ahrefs sales team rather than through the self-serve Billing tab. If you are on Enterprise and the dashboard is empty, check the inbox of whoever signed the contract, since the PDFs arrive by email.
  • Only the account owner and Admin role users see Billing. If your accountant needs to pull invoices directly, promote them to Admin or set up Inbox Ledger so the PDFs arrive at their inbox without touching Ahrefs at all.
