Link Whisper suggests internal links inside the WordPress editor and reports pages nothing links to, and Premium is $97 a year for one site. It runs only on self-hosted WordPress, the free version makes you paste every link by hand, and the pricing page and WordPress.org listing disagree on the refund window. - **Value for money: A.** Starter is $97 a year for one site, about $8 a month, which is under 60% of this category's cheaper quarter. It brings 2,000 AI credits, though those refresh only once a year. - **Free plan and trial: B.** The free WordPress.org plugin suggests links as you write and reports orphan pages, with no cap on either. You paste each link in by hand and bulk linking waits on Premium, but a small blog could live on it. - **Features: C.** AI link suggestions, bulk linking, keyword auto-linking, orphan and broken link reports, and target keywords from Yoast, Rank Math and AIOSEO. It does internal linking fully, but that's a smaller job than link building as a whole. - **Ease of use: C.** No rating on record. Suggestions show up in the editor, but you need a self-hosted WordPress site first, and Premium groups your posts into clusters before it links them. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Runs inside WordPress, with WooCommerce, Search Console, Yoast SEO, Rank Math and All in One SEO. Nothing for sites that aren't on self-hosted WordPress. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from Link Whisper's own pages on 23 October 2026.

What surrounds it you could not. The 2 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.8 is higher than 45 of the 50 other link building tools we grade. It costs $97 a year. - You could make: Internal linking and reports: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: It plugs into other products, WordPress, WooCommerce and Google Search Console among them. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool.
