Which one is for you
Pick DomDetailer if
- Fits if you screen expired or auction domains in bulk by authority metrics
- Works for occasional users who don't want Moz and Majestic subscriptions
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you want to try before you buy, as there's no trial and no refund once credits are used
- Skip it if you need rank tracking, site audits or keyword research, as it sells data only
- Tight if you run big jobs, with up to 20 concurrent threads and an error once credits run out
- Watch out: checkout and accounts run on pbl-soft.com, the operator's site, not domdetailer.com
Pick Majestic if
- Fits if you want to check a site's links before buying the domain or pitching it
- Works for developers who need raw link data and can pay for the API plan
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay on Lite, which only sees links from the last 120 days
- Pricey if you need the API or a second user, as both start on the API plan at $399.99 a month
- Not for you if you want a proper look first: the free account gets a few lookups a day and there's no trial
- Watch out: the homepage dates the Historic Index to March 2024, so newer links sit only in the Fresh Index
- Skip it if you want outreach or alerts for lost links, as it only does research, and prices exclude VAT
How we grade them
| 2.2GPADomDetailerFair | 2.2GPAMajesticFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B$34 once for 25,000 domain lookups that never expire, $1.36 per 1,000, with Moz and Majestic metrics in each. The first spend sits in this category's usual range, but per domain it's under a tenth of DataForSEO's backlinks rate of $0.024 a task. | CLite is $41.67 a month billed yearly ($49.99 monthly), close to this category's middle of $49. Link history and competitor comparisons sit on Pro at $83.33, and the API plan is $399.99 a month ($333.33 yearly). |
| Free plan and trial | FNothing free: no trial, and purchases can't be refunded once credits are delivered or used. The Windows app is free, but it spends the same paid credits. | CA free account gets a few Site Explorer lookups a day, a weekly showcase site and basic scores in the browser extension. That's enough for a look, not for real work. There's no trial, just a 7-day money-back guarantee on your first plan. |
| Features | CMoz DA, PA and Spam Score, Majestic Trust and Citation Flow and its own link counts in one call, plus lists of up to 5,000 backlinks. It does that job fully, but it's a smaller job: no rank tracking, audits or keyword data. | CBacklinks, referring domains, anchor text, new and lost links and Trust Flow across 800+ topics, for any site. It does link research fully, but that's one part of link building: no outreach, no link alerts, and Lite only sees 120 days. |
| Ease of use | BNo rating on record, but the browser tools and the free Windows app take a list of domains and return the numbers, with nothing to set up or code. | CNo rating on record. Looking up a site is simple, but analysis units, report units, two indexes and its own scores take a while to make sense of. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb, a Windows app and an API, which Domain Hunter Gatherer, Scrapebox, GSA Search Engine Ranker, Cora and Servya read with your own key. No Mac or phone app. | BWeb, plus a free Chrome and Firefox extension, Google Sheets and Search Console. The API comes only with the API plan. No desktop or phone app. |
| Best for | bulk domain metrics without Moz or Majestic plans | a dedicated backlink index with link history |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
