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 MentionAgent if
- Fits if you want blog mentions without running outreach by hand
- Works for brands that want their own domain kept out of cold email
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you're willing to pay for placements, as it turns those sites down
- Tight if you need volume soon: a new inbox starts at 5 emails a day and reaches 40 in week four
- Pricey if you run several sites, at $99 a month per extra site and $80 a month per extra inbox
- Not for you if you want a free plan: sign-up gives 50 credits once, about 25 drafts
- Too light for content, audits or keyword research, as it only does off-page outreach
How we grade them
| 2.0GPALinkomaticFair | 2.2GPAMentionAgentFair | |
|---|---|---|
| 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. | CStarter is $99 a month for 1 site, 1 inbox and 5,000 credits, the top of this category's usual range. Extra inboxes are $80 a month each and extra client sites $99 each. |
| 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. | CNo free plan, but 50 credits on sign-up with no card, about 25 drafts. Paid plans carry a 14-day money-back guarantee. |
| 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. | CBlog prospecting, verified editor emails, a pitch per post, its own sending domain and inbox, replies and follow-ups, and AI visibility checks. The gap: it turns down sites that ask for payment, so it trades mentions rather than buying links. |
| 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. It sets up the domain and inbox itself, but you approve drafts by default, and a new inbox takes four weeks to reach 40 emails a day. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb only, with no integrations on record. Lists come out for use in whatever outreach tool you already have. | BWeb only. An MCP server lets Claude, Cursor or Codex review drafts and replies, and it works with Telegram and Gmail. No desktop or phone app. |
| Best for | verified contact lists for your own outreach | blog mentions without paying for links |

Key features
Linkomatic
- Keyword expansion and site filtering
- Your target keyword is expanded into related terms, and the sites found are filtered on domain rating, organic traffic, relevance and page type, with a human review step.
- Verified contacts per site
- For each qualified site it looks for about two decision-makers, starting with link building, SEO and content roles, and runs regular and catch-all email checks.
- Link insertion and listicle campaigns
- Find existing posts where a link to your page fits, or 'best of' and 'top' lists in your industry where your product could be added.
- Competitive Links
- Builds the prospect list from the sites that link to your competitors.
- Contact Enrichment
- Supply your own list of websites and it finds the contacts, at half a credit per email and with no minimum number of sites.
MentionAgent
- Blog prospecting and qualification
- The agent works out what your site sells, searches for blog posts on that subject and checks each domain's authority and relevance before drafting anything.
- Contact lookup and verification
- For each post it finds the editor or author and verifies the email address before sending, to keep bounce rates down.
- Pitches written per post
- Each email is drafted about the specific article found. Drafts wait for your approval by default; auto-send can be switched on once warmup has started.
- Sending domain and inbox included
- It registers a separate sending domain, sets up a Gmail inbox on it and warms it up, so your own domain never sends cold email. The domain is transferred to you free on request.
- Replies, follow-ups and deals
- It follows up on quiet threads, drafts answers to editors, proposes the exact sentence to add once a deal is agreed and records the link when it goes live.
- AI visibility checks and MCP
- Twice a month it asks ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini buyer questions and shows answers that mention you. An MCP server lets Claude, Cursor or Codex review drafts and replies.

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.
