## Good for

- Site owners who check their backlinks a few times a month
- SEO freelancers looking at a competitor's link sources
- Small budgets: the paid plans start below $20 a month

## Worth knowing

- The features page marks backlink monitoring as coming soon, although the paid plans list monitoring credits.
- Exports are capped at 5,000 rows on every paid plan, however many backlink rows the plan allows.
- The pricing page also sells a 'Comprehensive Guide to Link Building' for $19 as an add-on at checkout.
- It is a web app only, with no mobile or desktop apps or browser extension listed.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.0 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. 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.

- **Value for money: C.** $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.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** A 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.
- **Features: C.** Backlink 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.
- **Ease of use: C.** No 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.
- **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web only, with no apps or browser extension, and no integrations or API on the listing.

These are ToolGPA's own grades. 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. Its pricing page returned only a page title when fetched, so grading rests on the listing.

## Keep it, 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.

- You could make: Reports: an app builder makes this well.
- You could not: An index of the links between billions of web pages.

A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it.
