NoFollow outlines links marked nofollow, ugc or sponsored on any page, and an info box shows the robots meta tags a page sets for Googlebot, Bingbot and other crawlers, for free. It's one narrow job: ugc and sponsored links get the same outline as nofollow, and it marks links in place rather than listing them in a report. - **Value for money: A.** Free, with no paid version anywhere on IgorWare's site. - **Free plan and trial: A.** Free outright: link outlines, the robots meta tag box, site filters and custom CSS styles, with nothing to upgrade to. - **Features: D.** One narrow function: outlines for nofollow, ugc, sponsored, followed and external links, Yandex noindex tags and a robots meta info box. The three rel values share one style, and there's no report of the links. - **Ease of use: B.** No rating on record, but nothing to set up: install it and outlines appear on the next page, with styles you can change later. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** A browser extension for computers only, with no phone version and no integrations. IgorWare says its Safari version isn't supported until further notice. These are ToolGPA's own grades.

The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/seo-extensions ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** NoFollow is free, so making your own would save you nothing. And it is not the kind of software a weekend replaces. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 18 of the 34 other SEO browser extensions grade higher. - You could not: An index of the links between billions of web pages. - You could not: A crawler that checks every page of a site.
