Why are there less backlink domains in Moz vs. Semrush?

For our domain studyville.com, Semrush is reporting 46 linking domains, and Moz is reporting 7. Does anyone know where there is such a large discrepancy?

@shelbythomas No software will find all your links. A link going to your site might not even be found by Google... So just because you know it exists, doesn't mean its definitely associated with your site.

We have tons of user generated links going to our companies within The Klyne Group. We use SEM rush to run a quick backlink audit, but no software will find all your links. In fact, they often tell you that you've lost a backlink when it might still be there. So double check before you reach out to ask why they no longer link to your site.

You can use Majestic to pull in more links, but it won't really inspire more ways to get more high quality links, so there isn't much point.

Try looking at the 'links' in Google Search Console to see how many links are associated with your site.

Given the immense size of the internet and the amount of pages that crawlers need to index, no SEO tool will be able to consistently discover all links back to your website.

The difference between the platforms will be down to them not looking at/indexing the same sites at the same rate.

You should look at Googles search console to see what links google actually associates with your site.

Semrush provides a lot of data relating not just to SEO, but PPC too — if you want a tool that covers both areas, it's a much better option than Moz. If you envisage doing a lot of backlinks or keyword research every day, then Semrush is considerably better value than Moz.

for my personal blog at cerita-silat.net , semrush only reports 13 domains, while Moz reports 20 domains.
sometimes semrush win, sometimes Moz win
