## Key features

- **Prospect database and import:** Pick a guest post or niche edit campaign and draw prospects from Linkee's website database or a list exported from Ahrefs or Semrush.
- **AI vetting and filters:** Checks each site's relevance to your keywords, filters by DA, spam score, word count and language, removes past contacts, PBNs and broken or non-HTTPS sites.
- **Site categories:** Groups prospects by type, such as blog, news, SaaS, e-commerce or affiliate, and by niche, such as finance, health or parenting.
- **Email finding and verification:** A built-in finder collects addresses with names and positions, third-party finders add more, and every address is validated before sending.
- **Outreach and follow-ups:** Send personalized emails from Gmail, Outlook or SMTP, schedule automatic follow-ups, reuse templates and track results in campaign analytics.
- **Team roles:** Agency accounts get user roles and project access controls for splitting client work across a team.

## Good for

- SEO specialists running guest post and niche edit outreach
- Teams that want prospect vetting, email finding and sending in one tool
- Agencies that need user roles across many client projects

## 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.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.0 out of 4**, graded Oct 23, 2026. 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.

- **Value for money: C.** Essential 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.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** No free plan, but a 14-day trial with 500 credits and no card. After that you're on a paid plan.
- **Features: C.** Database 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.
- **Ease of use: C.** No 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.
- **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web only, sending through Gmail, Outlook or SMTP, with Ahrefs metrics built in. No API or other integrations on record.

## Keep it, 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.

- You could make: Link outreach and reports: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: Checking that an address exists without writing to it.
- 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. Nothing was built to test it.
