KWFinder’s operator, CodeCat s.r.o., trading as Mangools, names no certification of its own: the only credential on its pages is AWS’s own ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II, cited as if it were Mangools’s, with no US region named and no FedRAMP, StateRAMP, GovCloud, or HIPAA BAA published. Its refund window contradicts itself too, stated as both 48 hours and 14 days on an annual plan, while Ahrefs likewise places its data in the US with no region named and calls its own SOC 2 still only planned. Scope compared, criterion by criterion. Checked 7 September 2026.





CodeCat s.r.o., trading as Mangools, hosts KWFinder on AWS, with location stated only as “EU, US” and no specific region named. The only certification cited anywhere on its pages is AWS’s own ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II — Mangools holds no certification of its own, and FedRAMP, StateRAMP, GovCloud authorization, and a HIPAA business associate agreement are all absent.
Ahrefs places its data in the United States too, with no region named, hosted on AWS with a subprocessor in the US and Singapore. Its own SOC 2 certification is, by its own account, still only planned rather than issued, and FedRAMP, StateRAMP, GovCloud, and a HIPAA business associate agreement are absent from all four pages tested.
Two different refund windows coexist on KWFinder’s own pages: forty-eight hours in one, fourteen days for an annual plan in another, with no attempt to reconcile the two. Deletion follows within ninety days of departure, backups within a hundred eighty.
Ahrefs treats the absence of a refund as a matter of policy rather than an oversight: a canceled account drops straight to the free tier, and the vendor states no obligation to return the data that account held.
Ahrefs ships fifteen interface languages, English listed as a single entry with no US or UK distinction drawn, and no mention of any screen left partially translated. KWFinder’s only selector found, in a product-page footer, offers two entries, English and Spanish, without stating whether it changes the site’s language or the tool’s — and it is absent from every other page checked.
Ahrefs prices its Starter tier at twenty-nine US dollars a month: two hundred credits, two hundred fifty rows per report, no export, and no additional users. KWFinder prices its entry tier at thirty-seven euros and seventy cents a month billed annually, sixty-one euros rolling monthly — a figure the vendor also prints elsewhere as thirty-seven dollars and seventy cents — for a hundred daily lookups.
