Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.0
GPA, above 15 of the 54 other link building tools we grade
BacklinkGap is a web-based backlink checker. It lists the sites linking to a domain, shows anchor text and link types, and exports the results to CSV. Paid plans add a monthly allowance of searches and backlink rows, plus link monitoring and shareable reports.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about BacklinkGap, taken from its own pages and our grades.
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.
- 1
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.

Paid plans start at $15.83 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $15.83 per month, billed annually ($19 billed monthly).
- 3
There is a free plan
The site says it shows a limited number of backlink rows per search; the exact cap is not stated on the pages read.

Competitor backlink analysis
Look up a competitor's backlink profile to see who links to them and which anchor text they use, as a source of outreach targets.
- 7
Disavow tool
Collect unwanted links into a list and manage the disavowed set so it can be submitted in Google Search Console.

- 9
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.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
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 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 it 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
Good to know
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.

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 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.
