Prices change, so confirm with AutoBacklinks before buying. ## Ways to pay less - **One month free with annual billing** (Annual discount): AutoBacklinks' pricing page says annual billing includes one month free; credits still refresh monthly rather than arriving all at once.

AutoBacklinks finds publishers, scores them, finds verified emails and sends drafted pitches from your mailbox, and it can be run from Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor. But nothing on record shows it checking won links afterwards, the $49 Starter price is a launch offer against $79, and the trial needs a card. - **Value for money: C.** Starter is $49 a month for 2,500 credits, 2 websites and 2 mailboxes, right on this category's middle. Note that it's a launch price shown against a listed $79, so it may not last. - **Free plan and trial: D.** No free plan. The 7-day trial needs a card and comes with only 120 credits, when a single verified email costs 3. - **Features: C.** Six prospect sources, including pages ChatGPT cites, AI scoring, verified emails, outreach with warmup, a deals board and scheduled campaigns. It gets you to the deal, but nothing in the listing shows placed links being checked afterwards. - **Ease of use: C.** No rating on record. You connect mailboxes, add your websites and learn what each credit buys before campaigns run on a schedule. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web only, sending through Gmail, Google Workspace, Outlook or SMTP, with an MCP server so Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Gemini can run campaigns. No desktop or phone app. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from AutoBacklinks' own pages on 23 October 2026.

That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 25 of the 50 other link building tools grade higher. It costs $588 a year. - You could make: Link outreach: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it. - You could not: A network of real inboxes that open and answer your emails. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Gmail, Google Workspace and Outlook among them.
