The vendor aims it at founders and small businesses rather than agencies. - **Category:** Backlinks & Link Building - **Made by:** FMD Labs GmbH - **Website:** https://backlinkgpt.com - **Runs on:** Web - **Who should skip it:** Pricey if your budget is small: $149 a month, plus link fees the vendor says often run $75 to $250 a site. - **Facts last checked:** Oct 23, 2026 ## Pricing As of Oct 23, 2026, BacklinkGPT is a paid product, starting at $149 per month for up to 6 pitches a day. - **Pricing model:** Paid - **Free plan:** None. - **Free trial:** None listed. | Plan | Price | What you get | | --- | --- | --- | | Starter | $149 per month for up to 6 pitches a day | 1 site, 1 inbox or LinkedIn profile and about 2,000 pages checked a month, with reply and counter-offer drafts, MCP and API access. | | Growth | $399 per month for up to 12 pitches a day | Up to 3 inboxes or LinkedIn profiles and about 6,000 pages checked a month, with the same agent as Starter. | | Scale | $999 per month for up to 25 pitches a day | For several sites or a team: up to 6 inboxes or LinkedIn profiles, about 20,000 pages checked a month, priority founder support and custom integrations. | Read from https://backlinkgpt.com/pricing on Oct 23, 2026. Prices change, so confirm with BacklinkGPT before buying. ## Key features - **Site brief:** The agent reads your site and writes its own brief of positioning, target pages and keywords, which you check before setting a link budget. - **Prospect verdicts:** Sweeps search results and competitors' backlinks, then marks every page keep, drop or second look with the reason written down, blocking rivals and spam sites. - **Contacts:** Finds the editor, founder or writer behind each page with email and LinkedIn, ranked so the most likely person is pitched first. - **Email and LinkedIn pitches:** Drafts quote the prospect's own page and go out from your accounts. You approve each one until you switch a channel to auto-send, and you approve every fee. - **Reply handling:** Replies from email and LinkedIn land in one inbox, and the agent drafts answers and counter-offers when a site asks for a fee. - **Link monitoring, MCP and API:** Won links are re-checked on a schedule with an alert if one drops or turns nofollow. The agent also runs from ChatGPT or Claude over MCP, or through the API. ## Good for - Founders and small business owners without an SEO team - Getting a product onto best-of roundups and guides in its niche - Owners who want pitches sent by both email and LinkedIn ## Worth knowing - Most sites ask a fee to add a link, often $75 to $250 by the vendor's account; fees come on top of the plan and need your approval. - The vendor says it is built for owners promoting their own site, not for agencies or resellers managing client sites. - There is no free trial, only a free preview; refunds are full within 24 hours if nothing was sent, then usage-adjusted up to 7 days. - Extra inboxes or LinkedIn profiles cost $19 a month each, and extra prospect credits $0.03 each. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 1.8 out of 4**, graded Oct 23, 2026. BacklinkGPT is an AI agent that reads your site, finds roundups and guides in your niche, judges each one with a written reason and pitches the person behind it by email or LinkedIn. It costs $149 a month before the fees most sites ask for a link, there's no free trial, and it isn't built for agencies. - **Value for money: D.** Starter is $149 a month for up to 6 pitches a day, the start of this category's dearest tenth. That's before link fees, which the vendor says often run $75 to $250 a site, plus $19 a month for each extra inbox. - **Free plan and trial: F.** Nothing free to use: no free plan and no trial, only a free preview. Refunds are full within 24 hours if nothing was sent, then usage-adjusted up to 7 days, which isn't a trial. - **Features: B.** A site brief, prospect verdicts with written reasons, ranked contacts, email and LinkedIn pitches, reply and counter-offer drafts, and won links re-checked for drops, with MCP and an API. Nothing in the listing shows a gap in the core job. - **Ease of use: C.** No rating on record. The agent drafts its own brief, but you check it, set a link budget, connect inboxes and approve each pitch until you switch on auto-send. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web only, sending from Gmail, Outlook or LinkedIn, with MCP for ChatGPT and Claude and an API on every plan. No desktop or phone app. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from BacklinkGPT's 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: 38 of the 50 other link building tools grade higher. It costs $1,788 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: It plugs into other products, Gmail, Outlook and LinkedIn among them, and has an API. - You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
