Backlink Monitoring And A Lot More
Linkwatcher vs LinkChecker.pro

LinkChecker.pro is a focused, team friendly tool for tracking your backlinks daily. Linkwatcher does that job too, then goes further.

  • Monitor, acquire, index, and rank track in one platform
  • Buy links in a live marketplace, then watch them automatically
  • AI quality analysis on every backlink, not just status alerts

Which one fits you

An honest recommendation

Both tools are good at what they do. Here is who each one really suits, including where Linkwatcher is not the right call.

Pick Linkwatcher if

  • You want to buy links in a live marketplace, not just monitor them
  • You want AI quality analysis on every backlink, not just status
  • You want monitoring, indexing, and rank tracking in one platform
  • You want to start free instead of paying from day one

Where Linkwatcher falls short

  • LinkChecker.pro offers more monitored links per dollar at the entry tier
  • It adds brand mention tracking and DMCA alerts that we do not
  • Its team performance analytics are deeper for large monitoring teams
  • If you only need monitoring, our extra tools may be more than you use

Pick LinkChecker.pro if

  • You only need backlink monitoring with deep team and role management
  • You want brand mention tracking and DMCA alerts built in
  • You rely on Ahrefs, Majestic, and Moz metrics inside your monitor
  • You want the most monitored links per dollar at the entry tier

Why it matters

Buying the link is only half the job

LinkChecker.pro nails the monitoring piece. But monitoring is one piece of link building, and the rest still lives in other tools.

Buy and move on

The link you paid for, six months later

A buyer spends their budget on guest posts, gets the live URLs, and moves on. Four months later three of those links have quietly been removed during a site redesign, and nobody notices until rankings slip. The spend is gone and so are the links.

Buy and keep watch

Same spend, very different return

Another buyer sources the same links through Linkwatcher. The day one of those posts is edited and the link is stripped, an alert lands in the inbox, the publisher is contacted, and the link is restored within the week. Buying the link is only half the job. Keeping it alive is the other half.
