Part 01 · Overview

Welcome

What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first

2.2

GPA, above 26 of the 50 other link building tools we grade

Backlink Pilot is a web app for agencies that keeps checking the backlinks they have already placed. You import or add each link with the destination, anchor text and follow status you agreed on, and it flags any page where the link has gone, changed or turned nofollow. It also records which partner gave which link, including reciprocal and three-way exchanges.

To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Backlink Pilot, taken from its own pages and our grades.

You import your link sheet by CSV and record the destination, anchor and follow status agreed for each link before the checks mean much.
From our grade for ease of use
  1. 1

    Best for checking that links you've placed are still live

    Backlink Pilot rechecks links you've placed for the right page, anchor and follow status, and keeps each partner and link exchange attached to the links it produced.

  2. 2

    Paid plans start at $15 a month

    As its pricing page puts it: $15 per month for up to 500 links.

  3. 3

    There is a free plan

    Up to 100 links checked monthly, with unlimited clients and partners. No credit card and no time limit.

  4. 4

    It runs on Web

    Web.

  5. 5

    Link checks

    Revisits each linking page to confirm the destination URL is still there, the anchor text matches and the follow status is what was agreed.

  6. 6

    Check frequency

    Links are checked monthly on the free plan and weekly on paid plans, and each placement shows when it was last checked.

  7. 7

    CSV import

    Upload an existing link sheet with its partners by CSV, or add new placements one at a time as they go live.

  8. 8

    A 2.2 GPA, above 26 of 50

    That is against the other link building tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.

  9. 9

    Keep it

    To replace Backlink Pilot you would be making an index of the links between billions of web pages. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card

Best for checking that links you've placed are still live

Backlink Pilot rechecks links you've placed for the right page, anchor and follow status, and keeps each partner and link exchange attached to the links it produced. It won't find a single new backlink, the free plan only checks once a month, and the biggest published plan stops at 5,000 links.

ToolGPA report cardBacklink PilotGraded Oct 23, 2026
SubjectGradeComment
Value for moneyBStarter is $15 a month for up to 500 links, right at the start of this category's cheaper quarter. Agency is $29 for 2,000 and Scale $59 for 5,000, all with weekly checks.
Free plan and trialCFree with no card and no time limit, for up to 100 links with unlimited clients and partners. But those links are checked once a month, and an agency, the user it's built for, will pass 100 links quickly.
FeaturesCChecks of destination, anchor and follow status, CSV import, sorting by client and partner, a ledger for reciprocal and three-way exchanges, and a monthly health report. It does placed-link monitoring fully, but that's a smaller job: it watches only the links you add and finds none itself.
Ease of useCNo rating on record. You import your link sheet by CSV and record the destination, anchor and follow status agreed for each link before the checks mean much.
Platforms and integrationsCWeb only, with no apps, integrations or API on record.
Grade point averageFair, out of 4.02.2

An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.

Who Backlink Pilot is for

  • Fits if you keep placed links in a spreadsheet today and check them by hand
  • Works for agencies running reciprocal or three-way link exchanges with many partners

Who it is not for

  • Skip it if you want backlinks discovered, as it only watches links you add or import
  • Tight if you stay free, as the cap is 100 links and they're checked once a month
  • Too light for portfolios over 5,000 links, where the largest published plan stops
  • Not for you if your links need to flow into other tools, as no integrations or API are on record
  • Watch out: paid plans are bought only from your profile inside the app, after you sign up free

Good to know

Good for

  • SEO agencies keeping placed links in a spreadsheet today
  • Teams running link exchanges with many partners
  • Small link portfolios that fit within the free 100 links

Worth knowing

  • It only monitors links you add or import; finding new backlinks is outside the product.
  • The free plan checks links once a month; weekly checks need a paid plan.
  • The largest published plan stops at 5,000 links.
  • Every account starts on the free plan, and paid plans are bought from inside the app.

Keep it, or make your own?

Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.

Keep it

To replace Backlink Pilot you would be making an index of the links between billions of web pages. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

It costs $180 a year.

What you could make

  • Reports: an app builder makes this well.

What you could not

  • An index of the links between billions of web pages.
