Best for link outreach from one screen on a small budget
LinkHunter finds sites to approach, looks up their contact emails and sends the outreach from the same screen. It costs $49 to $199 a month and each plan caps emails and campaigns. The site footer reads 2021, so we'd check it's still kept up before paying.
Who LinkHunter is for
- Fits if you run targeted outreach and want prospecting and sending in one tool
- Works for small agencies on 500 to 5,000 emails a month
Who LinkHunter is not for
- Tight if you send more than 500 emails or 7 campaigns a month, the Starter caps
- Skip it if you want automatic follow-up on Starter, because it starts at $99
- Watch out: phone support, training and onboarding are Agency-only at $199
- Watch out: the site footer reads 2021 and no annual pricing is shown
- Not for you if you want a free plan, as only the 14-day trial is free

Keep LinkHunter, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace LinkHunter you would be making newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It costs $588 a year.
What you could make
- Link outreach: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox.
What this rests on. LinkHunter’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.
