Dr. Link Check vs LinkTiger (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Dr. Link Check if

• Fits if you want broken links found and emailed to you on a schedule
• Works for checking outbound links against malware and phishing lists

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if your site builds links with JavaScript, which the crawler doesn't run
• Tight if you stay free, at 1,500 links on 2 sites, run by hand with no export
• Watch out: CSV or PDF export and soft-error checks start on Professional at $49, as do login checks, set up on request
• Pricey if your site has lots of resources, as prices rise per 10,000 links and every unique file counts
• Tight if you check several sites, as only one check runs at a time per account

Pick LinkTiger if

• Fits if you want broken links found on a schedule without installing anything
• Works for organizations whose links sit in PDFs and Office documents as well as pages

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want something free to keep, as there's only the 15-day trial
• Tight if you're on Personal, at 1,000 links on 1 domain checked once a week
• Pricey if you want daily scans, which start on Professional at $35 a month
• Watch out: the pricing table lists 1 to 100 users by plan, while its footnote says delegate users are unlimited
• Not for you if your site has over 100,000 links, as that needs a plan arranged with sales

Dr. Link Check

• The crawler does not run JavaScript, so links created by scripts are missed unless you start from the XML sitemap.
• Prices rise with the link limit, billed per 10,000 links; each website counts unique resources, not just pages.
• Export to CSV or PDF and soft error checks start at Professional; checking behind a login is set up by request on Professional and up.
• Only one check runs at a time per account, and payment is by card or PayPal only.

LinkTiger

• There is no free plan, only the 15-day trial.
• Personal checks just 1,000 links on 1 domain once a week; daily scans start at Professional for $35 a month.
• The pricing table lists 1 to 100 users by plan, while its footnote says every edition includes unlimited delegate users.
• Sites with more than 100,000 links need a plan arranged through the sales team.

Dr. Link Check

Whole-site link crawl

Starts from one URL and checks internal links, outbound links, images, style sheets and other resources found in the HTML and CSS.

Several checks per link

Looks at URL format, server response time, error codes such as 404 and 500, and, on paid plans, SSL certificate validity.

Malware and phishing blacklists

Paid plans check outbound links against Google Safe Browsing, Professional adds PhishTank, and Premium two more lists.

Soft error detection

From Professional, flags pages that answer 200 OK but whose content shows an error or placeholder message.

Scheduled checks and reports

Runs checks monthly, biweekly, weekly or daily depending on plan, and emails a status report to chosen recipients.

URL lists and rules

Accepts up to 10,000 URLs to check in bulk, and lets you include or exclude URLs and limit crawl speed.

LinkTiger

Scheduled link scans

Crawls each registered domain once a week on Personal and every day on the other plans, up to the plan's link limit per scan.

Links beyond HTML

Checks links inside PDF files, CSS, XML, images, Flash files, databases and Microsoft Office documents as well as web pages.

Highlighted page and source view

Clicking a report entry loads the rendered page and its source code side by side, with the broken link highlighted in both.

Dashboard and custom reports

Charts summarize link status per site, drill down to individual links, and reports can be customized, printed, exported or emailed.

Password-protected areas

Every plan can scan secure parts of a site such as intranets and client login pages.

Email alerts and team access

Emails say how many links were scanned and how many problems were found, and reports can be shared with delegated users.
