          Is there a way to do it without a subscription?

            You can create a free account. It's better than nothing

              I am looking at paying for an account for a month but it seems it only shows the last two months of what has been lost, I really need to go back about 6 months. is that possible?

                If you want more data then you must pay for it.

                  Hi Niners52,

                  Rather than rely on an external tool to have found all of the URLs in a crawl and report them accurately, I would run a direct crawl using Screaming Frog.

                  There is a post on their blog which provides step by step instructions on how to use the tool to crawl a specific list of URLs.

                  You can only do this with the licensed version of Screaming Frog, but if you are not already using it, the cost is only 99 British pounds per year, and it is crazy useful for a thousand other things. A little more value for money than just subscribing to a more specific tool for just one month. 🙂

                  This way you will actually have a crawl result, not just a read from another tool.

                  Hope that helps,

                  Sha

                    majesticseo.com

                    it gives you all your lost backlinks as well (like ahrefs)

                    Link research tools can easily do this too.
