Linkee review (2026): is it worth $80.83 a month, billed yearly?
AI prospect vetting, email finding and outreach for link building
Linkee report card
Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 23, 2026
Best for vetting and pitching guest post prospects
Linkee draws guest post and niche edit prospects from its own database or your export, vets them with AI, finds and verifies emails and sends outreach from your own inbox. But the two cheaper plans allow 1 project and 1 seat, credit costs per action aren't stated, and its pricing page gives different inbox counts in different places.
Who Linkee is for
- Fits if you run guest post and niche edit outreach for one site
- Works for cleaning up prospect lists exported from Ahrefs or Semrush before pitching
Who Linkee is not for
- Tight if you have more than one site or person: Essential and Pro allow 1 project and 1 seat, and more means Agency at $298.33 a month
- Watch out: the pricing page's cards, table and FAQ give different counts of linked inboxes per plan
- Skip it if you want to know what each credit buys before paying, as the page doesn't say
- Not for you if you need placed links watched afterwards, as no link monitoring is on record
- Too light for staying free, as there's no free plan, only a 14-day trial with 500 credits
Why Linkee gets a 2.0
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyEssential is $80.83 a month billed yearly ($97 monthly) for 10,000 credits, inside this category's usual range. What each action costs in credits isn't stated, and more than 1 project or seat means Agency at $298.33.
- CFree plan and trialNo free plan, but a 14-day trial with 500 credits and no card. After that you're on a paid plan.
- CFeaturesDatabase or imported prospects, AI vetting with spam and PBN filters, site categories, email finding and verification, and outreach with follow-ups. The gaps: no link monitoring on record, and 1 project on the two cheaper plans.
- CEase of useNo rating on record. You pick campaign types, connect inboxes and work out the credit system, which the pricing page doesn't break down per action.
- CPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, sending through Gmail, Outlook or SMTP, with Ahrefs metrics built in. No API or other integrations on record.

Keep Linkee, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Linkee you could make: link outreach and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 2 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 25 of the 50 other link building tools grade higher. It costs $969.96 a year.
What you could make
- Link outreach and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Checking that an address exists without writing to it.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Linkee’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 Linkee?
Linkee is a web-based link building tool for guest post and niche edit campaigns. It pulls prospects from its own website database or an uploaded list, vets them for relevance and quality with AI, finds and verifies contact emails, and sends personalized outreach with follow-ups from your own Gmail, Outlook or SMTP account. Plans are monthly credit allowances, with more projects, inboxes and seats on higher tiers.
Worth knowing
- There is no free plan; after the 14-day, 500-credit trial a paid plan is needed.
- Essential and Pro allow 1 project and 1 seat; more of either, and user roles, need Agency at $298.33 a month billed yearly.
- Credits pay for database prospects, email finding and verification, and SEO metrics, but the page does not say what each action costs.
- The pricing page's cards, table and FAQ give different counts of linked email accounts per plan, so confirm before buying.
