Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing regarding the Software Application schema and the price field. You are correct that the price is an optional field in the Software Application schema. If you set the price to 0, it indicates that the software is free, and it should not cause any serious issues in Google’s structured data testing tool.
Regarding Ahrefs, if it is flagging this as an error, it may be due to its own interpretation of schema requirements. Since Google’s structured data test does not classify it as a serious error, you can consider it safe to ignore unless you notice any negative impact on your search visibility or rich snippets.
If you have further questions or need assistance, feel free to reply to this ticket, and a human agent from our support team will assist you further. Thank you for raising this concern!
