Backlink monitor that alerts you when links are gained or lost
Linkody report card
Good · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 23, 2026
Best for daily backlink checks and alerts
Linkody rechecks your backlinks every 24 hours and emails you when one is lost, changes or points at a dead page, from $11.20 a month on yearly billing. Competitors you track use up the site slots, only Pro and up let a second person in, and CSV and PDF exports are off during the trial.
Who Linkody is for
- Fits if you've paid for links and want an email the day one goes missing
- Works for agencies sending clients a monthly report of new and lost links
Who Linkody is not for
- Tight if you track competitors, as each one uses one of your plan's site slots, from 2 on Webmaster
- Not for you if a team needs logins on a small plan, as Webmaster and Advanced have one user
- Skip it if you need links checked more often than once every 24 hours
- Watch out: CSV and PDF exports are off during the trial, and the free plan you drop to after cancelling has no published limits
Why Linkody 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 moneyWebmaster is $11.20 a month billed yearly ($14.90 monthly) for 500 links on 2 sites. That's under 60% of this category's cheaper quarter, and yearly billing includes 3 months free.
- CFree plan and trialNo free plan, but a 30-day trial with no card. CSV and PDF exports are switched off until you pay.
- CFeaturesDaily checks on every link, alerts for lost and changed links, Link Intersect for links your rivals have, metrics from Ahrefs, Moz and Majestic, and a disavow tool. It does monitoring fully, but that's a smaller job.
- CEase of useNo rating on record. Add your site and it finds the links, but you'll also add competitors and set up alerts and reports, and each competitor takes a site slot.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with no desktop or phone app. It pulls link metrics from Ahrefs, Moz and Majestic and has an API.

Keep Linkody, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Linkody you would be making an index of the links between billions of web pages. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
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 $134.40 a year.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- An index of the links between billions of web pages.
- It plugs into other products, Ahrefs, Moz and Majestic among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. Linkody’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 Linkody?
Linkody is a web-based backlink monitoring tool. It rechecks the links pointing to your sites every day, emails you when one is lost, changes status or points at a broken page, and finds new links to you and to the competitors you add. Plans are priced by the number of sites and monitored links, and agencies get team roles and white-label reports.
Worth knowing
- The website quota covers your own sites and every competitor you track; each competitor uses one slot.
- Links are rechecked once every 24 hours rather than continuously.
- Webmaster and Advanced have a single user; Pro, at $49.90 a month, is the first plan with more than one.
- After cancelling, the account drops to a free plan whose limits the pricing page does not give; Linkody keeps your links.
Key features
- Daily backlink checks
- Every monitored link is rechecked every 24 hours for status, follow or nofollow, meta robots and HTTP status, and pages it points to are checked for 404s.
- Email alerts and reports
- Daily or weekly emails about lost, changed and newly discovered links, for your sites and for competitors you track.
- Link Intersect
- Lists pages that link to several of your competitors but not to you, along with the competitors' most linked pages.
- Link metrics
- Each link shows Ahrefs Domain Rating, Moz DA and PA, Spam Score, Trust Flow and Citation Flow, and whether Google has indexed it.
- Disavow tool
- Filter out likely harmful links by Spam Score and other metrics, keep disavow rules in Linkody and export a file for Google.
- Team access and client reports
- Add team members or clients with roles and per-domain access, and send white-label PDF reports with your own logo.
