   Fantastic platform but introduce a ‘starter tier’

   Can’t knock the platform - it’s great. I feel like they should have a paid-for offering at a lower price point, however. Strongly recommend!

   Easy to use with limited trail but prices are high expensive - Semrush

   Semrush is very popular and next level performance tool which varies competitors, analyzes and tracking of any domain website, which provides you full information what's the position of the website, overall traffic, etc. This tool is easy to use with limited trial 7 days, after the trial ends, has limited features work on free plan. There plans are very expensive, not affordable at purchasing price plans.

   In my experience, semrush is very costly and high level of experience.

   🏁 Competitors: Ahrefs, Moz, SE Ranking, Marketing Miner

   👍 Pros:    Real-time analytics|Excellent features|Simple yet powerful and efficient tool

   👎 Cons:    Pricing is too high|Limited features with free plan.

   Great keyword tracking platform, shame they removed the display advertising report

   SEMrush provides a great central hub for adding your websites as projects which can be tracked, audited and measured for visibility over time. I've used the platform across many roles and found the only recent drawback was the removal of their display advertising competitor reports.

• Research tools for niche/product competition?

  I use SEMRush (semrush.com/) a lot when researching a niche. I would input the URL of a competitor, and then examine "competitors of organic key words" -- to find related websites that compete with the input URL website. I would spent hours and hours in researching and documenting a list of competitors in different niches. Source: about 3 years ago

• Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (August 2026)

  I'm working on DB Pro [1] A modern database client with dashboards, saved queries, workflows, and yes, AI built into it. I've focused on building brilliant UX over the last year, and it has paid off. I've had two emails saying that they have cancelled their Jetbrains subscription for DataGrip which has been so validating. It's been a labour of love and I'm super happy to have disrupted even a small part of the... - Source: Hacker News / 4 days ago

• Shadcn/UI now defaults to Base UI instead of Radix

  Great news. I've found that no UI library comes close to shadcn's quality. It even looks incredible when building desktop apps. We used it to build DB Pro [1] and the DB Pro website, and everyone compliments us on our design. I see it becoming the defacto choice for UIs especially when building with agents.

• Ask HN: What are tools you have made for yourself since the advent of AI

  Been building DB Pro (dbpro.app) since January: a cross-platform DB client for Postgres, MySQL, SQLite, Mongo and Redis. https://dbpro.app The thing that's stuck with me, echoing a few comments here, is how AI changed the building more than the product. Features I'd have scoped as weeks of work now get prototyped in an afternoon, so the real shift has been unlearning the old "is this worth the cost" instinct.

• No More JetBrains Products for Me

  We're building a product [1] to compete with DataGrip, a JetBrains product. Many people told us we were crazy to compete with such a mature product as DataGrip before we got started. It has been fascinating to speak to people who use database apps and to learn about their experiences. Now, we have many, many customers telling us that they have cancelled their DataGrip/JetBrains sub and have switched to using our... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
