Which one is for you
Pick Linkomatic if
- Fits if you run your own outreach and need prospect lists with verified contacts
- Works for agencies that have site lists and only need the emails
Look elsewhere if
- Watch out: no credit pack prices are on record, only a $1 offer of 500 credits for new users
- Too light for small one-off pitches, as standard campaigns need at least 250 websites
- Skip it if you want outreach sent for you, as it delivers lists and stops there
- Tight if you stay on the 50 free credits, which can't cover a standard campaign
- Not for you if you might want a refund after starting, as refunds need no credits used, within 7 days
Pick ListBrew if
- Fits if your competitors appear on best-of lists and you don't
- Works for SaaS and ecommerce brands building listicle target lists
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want pitches sent from the same tool, as outreach is still listed as coming soon
- Tight if you're staying free, as the 50 credits are a one-time grant that doesn't renew
- Pricey if you track Gemini or Perplexity citations, which need Pro at $99 a month
- Watch out: credits go per keyword, results depth, AI engine per prompt and contact found
- Too light for link building beyond listicles, comparisons and alternatives pages
How we grade them
| 2.0GPALinkomaticFair | 2.0GPAListBrewFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CNo price is on record: credit pack prices didn't load on the pricing page. What is on record is 1 credit per email contact, a 250-site minimum, credits that never expire, and 500 credits for $1 for new users. | CSolo is $49 a month for 100 credits, the middle of this category. Gemini and Perplexity citations need Pro at $99, and credits are spent per keyword, engine, prompt and contact. |
| Free plan and trial | C50 free credits for every new account, with no card. A standard campaign needs at least 250 sites at 2 emails each, so the free credits only stretch to Contact Enrichment at half a credit an email. | CA free plan with 50 credits and every feature, no card needed. The credits are one-time and don't renew, so in practice it's a trial. |
| Features | CKeyword expansion, AI and human filtering, about 2 verified contacts per site, link insertion and listicle campaigns, competitor links and contact enrichment. It builds lists fully, but that's one part of the job: no emails are sent for you. | CListicle discovery, AI citation checks, Google rank and domain data, an editor finder through Hunter.io and Apollo, and a check for existing mentions. It does listicle prospecting fully, but that's a smaller job, and outreach is still coming soon. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record. Ordering a list is simple, but you need your own outreach tool to use it and a 250-site campaign to get going. | CNo rating on record. You enter keywords and rivals and spend credits per search, engine and contact, which takes some working out. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb only, with no integrations on record. Lists come out for use in whatever outreach tool you already have. | CWeb only, with Hunter and Apollo for contact data and CSV export. No API or built-in sending on record. |
| Best for | verified contact lists for your own outreach | finding best-of lists your rivals are on |

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.
