Usage and consumption
Ahrefs SEO Toolbar provides a bunch of free features. However, you need an active paid account at ahrefs.com to get SEO metrics.
To show you the SEO metrics, the Toolbar consumes the "Export rows per month" from your account limits: 1 row per URL.
This means it costs one "export row" to show page and domain metrics for the URL you visit when the metrics bar is on or when you request the metrics by clicking on the extension icon.
Getting SEO metrics for the search results on SERP also costs one export "row" per result. So, with the traditional 10-results SERP page, ten "Export rows" will be spent.
Keyword metrics shown under the search bar also consume one “Export rows per month”.
No export rows will be spent if the metrics display is disabled in the Toolbar settings.
