LinkBoss review (2026): is the free plan enough?
Bulk internal linking tool with silo building and orphan fixes
LinkBoss report card
Good · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 23, 2026
Best for bulk internal linking and topic silos
LinkBoss pairs related pages across a site and inserts links in bulk, and its audit and silo planning are free on one site. Link insertion runs on credits that don't roll over, the $87-a-year unlimited plan caps each site at 1,000 pages, and only WordPress and Shopify connect natively.
Who LinkBoss is for
- Fits if you own niche or affiliate sites with large post archives on WordPress or Shopify
- Works for site owners who want a free internal link audit before paying
Who LinkBoss is not for
- Tight if you stay free, as the 100 credits for inserting links come once
- Watch out: a link in an existing sentence costs 1 credit, a generated one 2, and monthly credits don't roll over
- Skip it if a site has more than 1,000 pages and you want the unlimited plan, as that's its cap per site
- Not for you if you're off WordPress and Shopify, as other CMSs mean copying links in by hand, in beta
- Watch out: the $87 price is shown as a cut from $150 a year with no end date, and there's no trial, only a 14-day money-back guarantee
Why LinkBoss gets a 2.6
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- AValue for moneySolo Boss is $87 a year for one site with unlimited link insertion, about $7.25 a month, under 60% of this category's cheaper quarter. It's shown as a cut from $150 with no end date, and credit plans start at $11 a month.
- CFree plan and trialFree forever on one site: the audit, orphan and dead-end checks, Search Console reports and silo planning. Inserting links runs on credits, though, and you get 100 once.
- CFeaturesBulk interlinking, three ways to place a link, silo presets with a map, one-click orphan fixes, undo snapshots and a free audit. It does internal linking fully, but that's a smaller job, and only WordPress and Shopify connect natively.
- CEase of useNo rating on record. You connect your site, pick a silo preset and review page pairs, and you'll need to learn how credits are spent per link.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb, with native WordPress and Shopify connections, Search Console, and Elementor, Divi and Bricks, plus a beta mode for any other CMS. No desktop or phone app.

Keep LinkBoss, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of LinkBoss you could make: internal linking. 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 2.6 is higher than 43 of the 50 other link building tools we grade. It costs $87 a year.
What you could make
- Internal linking: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- It plugs into other products, WordPress, Shopify and Google Search Console among them.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. LinkBoss’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.
What is LinkBoss?
LinkBoss is a web-based internal linking tool for WordPress, Shopify and other sites. It reads every page with language processing, pairs related pages and inserts links in bulk, either in existing sentences, by rephrasing one or by adding a new sentence, with review before anything goes live. A free plan covers the site audit, Search Console reports and silo planning; inserting links uses credits.
Worth knowing
- Inserting links uses credits: 1 per link in an existing sentence, 2 per generated one; monthly credits do not roll over.
- Unlimited plans cap each site at 1,000 pages; credit plans handle up to 25,000 URLs, or 100,000 on Dominator.
- Only WordPress and Shopify connect natively; other CMSs need links copied in by hand, in beta.
- There is no time-limited trial; paid plans have a 14-day money-back guarantee.
Key features
- Bulk interlinking
- Finds related page pairs across the site and inserts up to 2,000 links per batch, fully automated or after you review each pair.
- Three ways to place a link
- Links go into an existing sentence, a lightly rephrased sentence or a newly written one; a pipeline mode tries each in turn.
- Silo builder
- One-click silo presets, including reverse, priority, serial and hybrid circle, with a visual map of the resulting structure.
- One-click link fixes
- Fix orphan and dead-end pages, re-point links from a moved URL for no credits, or link an exact phrase, with snapshots to undo any run.
- Free audit and Search Console reports
- Site health score, duplicate links, anchor cannibalization and link flow per page, plus keyword, ranking and traffic data from Search Console.
- WordPress, Shopify and other sites
- Native WordPress and Shopify connections, a beta mode for any other CMS by copying links in, and support for over 30 languages.
