Plans
In their own words
Backly
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.
