The short answer
The registry records Ahrefs Subscription as a possible interpretation of AHREFS PTE LTD. This descriptor-to-company association has not passed claim-level evidence review. Compare the exact line, amount and posted status with your own receipt or account activity; the name alone cannot confirm the merchant or whether you authorized the payment.
The notes below are unreviewed registry explanations, not confirmation of merchant identity, authorization or current policy. Claim-level source review is pending for this entry.
Why is Ahrefs charging my card?
Unreviewed registry note: A billing descriptor reading AHREFS PTE LTD represents a software subscription fee paid to Ahrefs Inc., a search engine optimization and digital marketing analytics platform. Ahrefs operates globally out of Singapore, which is why the corporate entity lists as 'PTE LTD' on credit card and bank statements. Marketing teams and business owners use the software to check keyword rankings and monitor website backlinks.
Unreviewed registry note: This charge recurs on a monthly or annual billing cycle based on the plan selected during checkout. Ahrefs pricing tiers start at $99 per month for Lite or $199 for Standard plans, with add-on user seats or legacy plans billing at different rates like $49.99 or custom enterprise quotas. If you manage a company credit card, this charge almost always stems from an employee or contractor in your marketing, SEO, or content department who activated an Ahrefs Subscription to analyze company web traffic.
Unreviewed registry note: To identify who activated the account, check your company email accounts for digital invoices sent from Ahrefs Billing. You can also have your marketing team log into the Ahrefs dashboard at app.ahrefs.com and navigate to Account > Billing to inspect recent payment receipts, view the active tier, and verify which team member added the corporate credit card.
Unreviewed registry note: If your company does not employ search marketers or digital agencies, and no one authorized an SEO software account, your payment card may have been compromised. Because software subscriptions automatically renew each month, you should reach out to Ahrefs support at help.ahrefs.com to identify the account associated with the charge, and contact your card issuer to block future transactions.

Is this a fraud risk?
A registry match cannot establish that you authorized a transaction or that it is safe. Compare the original account records. If you did not authorize a payment, contact your issuer promptly through its official channel.
