Which one is for you
Pick LinkTiger if
- Fits if you want broken links found on a schedule without installing anything
- Works for organizations whose links sit in PDFs and Office documents as well as pages
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want something free to keep, as there's only the 15-day trial
- Tight if you're on Personal, at 1,000 links on 1 domain checked once a week
- Pricey if you want daily scans, which start on Professional at $35 a month
- Watch out: the pricing table lists 1 to 100 users by plan, while its footnote says delegate users are unlimited
- Not for you if your site has over 100,000 links, as that needs a plan arranged with sales
Pick Little Warden if
- Fits if you look after many client sites and need to know before a domain or SSL certificate lapses
- Works for teams that want a warning when a release changes robots.txt, noindex tags or redirects
Look elsewhere if
- Too light for full site audits, as it watches set URLs and never crawls the whole site
- Tight if you're on Freelancer, with 20 URLs, 1 team member, no API and 2 weeks of history
- Watch out: payments aren't refunded, and your data goes once a cancelled plan's period ends

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.
