Which one is for you
Pick Internal Link Juicer if
- Fits if you know which keywords each post should own
- Works for affiliate sites linking product terms to review pages
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want the tool to suggest links, as it only links keywords you enter for each post
- Not for you if your site isn't on WordPress
- Tight if you stay free, as category and tag pages, custom fields and keyword import need Pro
- Pricey if you run more than ten sites, as unlimited is $1,299 a year against $189.99 for ten
- Watch out: links come from the plugin's own index when a page loads, so they aren't saved in your post content
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

Worth knowing
Internal Link Juicer
- It runs only inside WordPress.
- Links come only from keywords you enter for each post; the plugin does not suggest pages to link on its own.
- Links are added from the plugin's own index when a page renders, so the stored post content is not changed.
- The free version covers posts and pages only, and the unlimited licence jumps to $1,299 a year from $189.99 for ten sites.
LinkBoss
- Inserting links uses credits: 1 per link in an existing sentence, 2 per generated one; monthly credits do not roll over.
- Unlimited plans cap each site at 1,000 pages; credit plans handle up to 25,000 URLs, or 100,000 on Dominator.
- Only WordPress and Shopify connect natively; other CMSs need links copied in by hand, in beta.
- There is no time-limited trial; paid plans have a 14-day money-back guarantee.
Key features
Internal Link Juicer
- Keyword-based auto-linking
- Set the keywords for each post in the editor; matching phrases elsewhere on the site then link to it without further work.
- Anchor gaps
- A placeholder lets other words sit inside a keyword phrase, so one setting matches several anchor variations.
- Limits and exclusions
- Cap links per paragraph and per post, blacklist pages that should get no links, whitelist post types and skip headings or bold text.
- Statistics dashboard
- A sortable, filterable view of built links and anchors that shows pages with few links; Pro adds a full link detail view.
- Pro linking scope
- Pro links from and to category and tag pages and custom fields, including ACF and some page builders, and to URLs outside WordPress such as affiliate links.
- Silos and team roles in Pro
- Pro can keep automatic links within one category to build silos, import focus keywords from Yoast SEO or Rank Math, and give editors role-based access.
LinkBoss
- Bulk interlinking
- Finds related page pairs across the site and inserts up to 2,000 links per batch, fully automated or after you review each pair.
- Three ways to place a link
- Links go into an existing sentence, a lightly rephrased sentence or a newly written one; a pipeline mode tries each in turn.
- Silo builder
- One-click silo presets, including reverse, priority, serial and hybrid circle, with a visual map of the resulting structure.
- One-click link fixes
- Fix orphan and dead-end pages, re-point links from a moved URL for no credits, or link an exact phrase, with snapshots to undo any run.
- Free audit and Search Console reports
- Site health score, duplicate links, anchor cannibalization and link flow per page, plus keyword, ranking and traffic data from Search Console.
- WordPress, Shopify and other sites
- Native WordPress and Shopify connections, a beta mode for any other CMS by copying links in, and support for over 30 languages.

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.
