Link Whisper vs Linkbot

Link Whisper is a WordPress plugin and Shopify app for managing internal links. It suggests links for posts, which users can review before adding, and can draw on Google Search Console data and keywords from Yoast SEO, Rank Math, All In One SEO, and SEOPress. It supports editors and builders including Classic Editor, Gutenberg, Beaver Builder, Cornerstone, Elementor, and Divi. The plugin can process Advanced Custom Fields content and configured custom metafield-based content. Premium includes reports on link statistics, domain linking, clicks, and broken links. Licensed sites can suggest outbound links to one another, but inbound cross-site suggestions are not supported. Free access includes manual insertion of outbound suggestions; a limited-time Premium trial is available, and paid plans start at $97/yr. The maker says Premium does not send site content or personally identifiable information to its servers, though license checks transmit the license key, site URL, and subscription level. AI processing sends only selected post content to OpenAI; click tracking may store visitor IP addresses and site IDs on the customer's site.

Linkbot is a web service for analyzing website content and creating internal links intended to support SEO, organic traffic, and sales. Installation uses a copy-and-paste HTML JavaScript snippet; named compatible platforms include WordPress, Webflow, HubSpot, Google Tag Manager, Ghost, Blogger, and HTML or other sites. Its AI extracts keywords, finds contextual link opportunities, and creates snippets that connect to conversion pages. Users can approve or reject suggestions, exclude pages as sources or targets, and block keywords. Priority Indexer finds sitemap URLs missing from Google's index, adds links from high-traffic pages, and tracks indexing after links are added. The free Starter plan covers one property and up to 1,000 URLs, with a report and diagnostics but no automated linking or ongoing sync. Pro costs $19 a month and includes automated linking and Search Console integration; Business is $49 a month and Agency is $199 a month. Paid plans include a 14-day free trial, and subscribers can cancel anytime. Linkbot says support is available seven days a week.
