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 Pitchbox if

  • Fits if you're an agency running link building for many clients and can commit for a year
  • Works for in-house SEO teams that pitch publishers directly instead of hiring out

Look elsewhere if

  • Pricey if you're one person, as every plan is a year's commitment and Pro alone is $2,520 a year
  • Tight if more than 2 people pitch, as Pro has 2 users and 2 mailboxes
  • Watch out: recurring campaigns, email rotation, Slack and the API start at Advanced for $420 a month
  • Not for you if you want to try it yourself, as trials only come after a demo with a product specialist
  • Pricey if you pay monthly, as expert onboarding then costs $2,000 to $4,000

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.
DPro is $210 a month billed yearly ($300 monthly) for 2 users, and every plan is a one-year commitment, so one person pays at least $2,520 a year. That's in this category's dearest tenth. A team of five needs Advanced at $420, about $84 a head.
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.
DNo free plan and no self-serve trial. Pitchbox offers a trial only after a demo with one of its product specialists, and the pricing page doesn't say how long it lasts.
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.
BProspecting by topic or competitor, AI-written pitches and replies, follow-up sequences, a CRM for link partners, and checks that won links stay live and indexed. It covers the whole job. Email rotation, Slack and the API wait on Advanced.
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 connect mailboxes and set up campaigns and sequences, and Pitchbox charges $2,000 to $4,000 for expert onboarding on monthly billing, which tells you something.
Platforms and integrations
CWeb only, with no integrations on record. Lists come out for use in whatever outreach tool you already have.
BWeb only, with no desktop or phone app. It pulls metrics from Ahrefs, Semrush, Moz and Majestic, sends through Gmail and Microsoft 365, and works with Slack and Zapier. The API starts at Advanced.

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.
