Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you pay monthly, at $99 for one site against $999 for a whole year

- Pricey if you want more links, with Backlinks Plus at $249 a month and Backlinks Max at $799
- Watch out: the refund guarantee needs 90 days of publishing, every article left live and a claim within 14 days
- Watch out: it's sold for business use only, and the pricing page offers only monthly billing though its info page lists $990 a year

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.
