Best for checking who links to a site on a small budget
BacklinkGap lists the sites linking to a domain, with anchor text, and exports the result to CSV. The paid plans start at $15.83 a month, but backlink monitoring is marked as coming soon, and exports stop at 5,000 rows on every plan.
Who BacklinkGap is for
- Fits if you check the links of one or two sites now and then
- Works for people who want a backlink list as a CSV and nothing more
Who BacklinkGap is not for
- Tight if you stay free, because the free plan shows only a limited number of backlink rows per search
- Watch out: monitoring is marked coming soon although the paid plans list monitoring credits
- Skip it if you need exports above 5,000 rows, as every paid plan stops there
- Pricey if you outgrow Pro, since Business jumps to $165.83 a month on yearly billing
- Not for you if you want an API or a browser extension, as none is listed
Why BacklinkGap gets a 2.0
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for money$15.83 a month billed yearly for Starter sits just above the $15 where the cheaper quarter of link-building tools starts, and Business is $165.83.
- CFree plan and trialA free plan exists, but the site only says it shows a limited number of backlink rows per search and does not give the cap, so expect to hit it.
- CFeaturesBacklink checker, competitor comparison, a disavow tool and shareable reports. The features page marks monitoring as coming soon even though the paid plans list monitoring credits.
- CEase of useNo store rating is on record. It is one web page where you type a domain, with nothing to install, but there is also little guidance on the pages we read.
- CPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with no apps or browser extension, and no integrations or API on the listing.
What these grades rest on. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from BacklinkGap's own pages on 13 November 2026. Not based on using the product, and shorter than our full reviews.

Keep BacklinkGap, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace BacklinkGap 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.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 26 of the 54 other link building tools grade higher. It costs $189.96 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.
What this rests on. BacklinkGap’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
