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 LinkStorm if

- Works for sites off WordPress, as a snippet or Tag Manager places the links
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you might stop paying, as snippet links are served from LinkStorm's servers and vanish when the subscription ends
- Not for you if your site isn't in English, as only English content is supported
- Tight if your pages are short, as it's meant for pages of 500 words or more
- Watch out: each plan caps the pages analyzed at once, and recrawls and new pages draw on monthly credits
- Watch out: prices are monthly only with no yearly discount, and the site doesn't say how long the trial lasts

LinkStorm

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.
