BacklinkManager vs Backly

BacklinkManager is a web-based backlink management CRM and link-tracking tool for agencies, marketing teams, freelance link builders and SEOs. Its crawler checks link attributes such as do-follow and no-follow, server response and removal status, and can notify users when status changes. It checks page HTML first and can render a page in a cloud browser if it does not find the link there. Users can set link-building goals and group target pages by project, domain or client. The CRM manages relationships with clients, freelance link builders and vendors, and allows teams to assign client management to team members. Shareable custom dashboards support backlink reporting for clients and internal teams. The pricing comparison names Ahrefs, Semrush, Moz and Majestic as external-tool integrations, without specifying their details. The Free plan is free and monitors 50 links. Starter is $39 a month billed annually and includes 200 backlinks, 3 users, 100 targets and 50 partnerships. The Link Matching Tool and Link Exchange Marketplace are marked as coming soon.

Backly finds potential backlink opportunities and prepares tailored posts for relevant online communities and sites. Users enter a website URL; Backly reads its niche, suggests destinations, and drafts content for each prospect. The homepage says a run returns 5–8 opportunities and takes about 60 seconds to produce drafts. Suggested destinations include Reddit, Quora, Indie Hackers, Hacker News, Dev.to, Product Hunt, Medium, Stack Overflow, niche forums, and Q&A sites. Backly checks whether proposed links resolve. Users review and edit each draft, then publish it themselves by copying and pasting; the service does not post on their behalf. Its stated audiences include SaaS founders, SEO consultants, indie hackers, and content creators. Starter costs €9 a month and includes five generations per month; Growth costs €29 a month for 20 generations, while Pro costs €79 a month for unlimited generations. Each tier includes niche analysis, opportunities, drafts, and link checks. Backly offers a 7-day free trial, requires a card to start, and says cancellation before day seven avoids a charge. It does not guarantee SEO results or rankings.
