Pick InLinks if

- Works for SEOs adding schema markup across many pages at once
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you're staying free, at 2 optimizations a month and 25 pages
- Watch out: unused credits are lost each month, and pages, audits and briefs share one pool
- Skip it if you can't add its JavaScript to your site, as links and schema then go in by hand
- Pricey if you need the API or unlimited users, which start at $196 a month
Pick LinkBoss if
- Fits if you own niche or affiliate sites with large post archives on WordPress or Shopify
- Works for site owners who want a free internal link audit before paying
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay free, as the 100 credits for inserting links come once
- Watch out: a link in an existing sentence costs 1 credit, a generated one 2, and monthly credits don't roll over
- Skip it if a site has more than 1,000 pages and you want the unlimited plan, as that's its cap per site
- Not for you if you're off WordPress and Shopify, as other CMSs mean copying links in by hand, in beta
- Watch out: the $87 price is shown as a cut from $150 a year with no end date, and there's no trial, only a 14-day money-back guarantee

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.
