Market Samurai seems Flawed. Replacements?

I am just messing around with Market Samurai here and checked my websites stats on the competition report.

It shows my website having over 150 backlinks pointing to pages, and 400 pointing to the domain.

This is a 3 year old site that I didn't do much with, I remember adding backlinks to maybe 20 sites at most back then.

I checked my site with a few backlink sites such as ahref and backlinkwatch and my site only shows as having 7-10 backlinks on each?

Why is market samurai saying its got over 150, this is a bit worrying as I have spent a lot of time on this tool today researching niches, which probably aren't accurate at all now.

If anyone can recommend a good replacement that would be great.

Edit: Where it shows 150 backlinks on Market Samurai you can click the arrow on that column and it takes you to the SEO majestic page to see more details, and that site states there are 21 external backlinks to my site.
I don't understand why MS is displaying figures that are WAY off.

    I use MS since first release, but now I will use it for second alternative tool, I back to old way use G keyword tool manually due I can't find the best one yet on the market to replace it, if you find another great tools (no problem with cost as long as it still reasonable price) please share. MS gonna die slowly.

    Any other MS users able to provide their feedback? I have actually been considering purchasing this lately after seeing good reviews on many other threads.

    Maybe it is just a blip with their system, have you tried contacting their customer support?

    i dont understand why MS is displaying figures that are WAY off.
    Because MS uses that weird "majestic SEO" to display backlinks, which is likely different in how backlinkwatch and other sites/tools display backlinks.

    I am not using MS a lot anymore, it WAS the best tool 1 or 2 years back..but has gotten really worthless due to many changes, plus the fact that yahoo site explorer doesnt exist anymore which was one very popular way to display backlinks.

      MS is being nothing but trouble for me lately. For me it is the SEOC that seems to change by a factor of 90,000 competing pages. This happens over night too. So frustrating.
