Monitor Backlinks And Do A Lot More
Linkwatcher vs Linkody
Linkody is a clean, affordable tool for one job: watching your backlinks. Linkwatcher does that same job, then goes further. From one dashboard you can acquire links in the marketplace, get them indexed, track keyword rankings, and monitor everything, starting on a free plan.
- Monitor, acquire, index, and rank track in one platform
- Buy links in a built in marketplace, then watch them automatically
- Start free with 25 monitored links, no trial countdown

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 acquire, monitor, index, and rank track links in one place
- You want a built in marketplace to buy links, not just watch them
- You want AI quality analysis on every backlink, not just a spam number
- You want to start free instead of racing a 30 day trial clock
Where Linkwatcher falls short
- Linkody is cheaper at the entry tier, $14.90 against our $29
- If you only ever need monitoring, our extra tools may be more than you use
- Linkody has a longer track record as a dedicated, single purpose monitor
- Linkody includes a disavow rule manager you can submit straight to Google
Pick Linkody if
- You only need backlink monitoring and want the lowest entry price
- You want a simple, focused tool and already track rankings elsewhere
- You rely on a built in disavow rule manager you submit to Google
- You manage a small set of domains and do not need acquisition tools
Why it matters
Buying the link is only half the job
Linkody is genuinely good at monitoring. The question is how many other tabs you keep open around it.
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.
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.
