In their own words
Linkody
Linkody tracks link-building campaigns and monitors backlinks for a user’s domains and competitors. It refreshes link status every 24 hours and provides backlink metrics including Ahrefs Domain Rating, Moz DA and PA, Spam Score, Trust Flow, and Citation Flow. Its Link Intersect report identifies pages that link to competitors but not to the user’s site. A disavow tool helps identify potentially harmful backlinks and manage disavow rules. Imports support Linkody’s CSV format, Google Search Console, Ahrefs, and Moz. Reporting includes email and white-label PDF reports, though CSV and PDF export are unavailable during the free trial. Linkody is available on the web and through an API; REST API access for domains, competitors, and backlinks requires a paid subscription. The service has a free plan and a 30-day trial, with paid plans listed from $14.90/mo. Monthly plans range from Webmaster at $13.90 a month to Agency XL at $138.90 a month. Competitors count toward the website quota, but their backlinks do not count toward the monitored-link quota.
Linkwake
Linkwake tracks changes in referring domains across agency client portfolios. It compares Common Crawl releases to show domains gained, lost or retained, and identifies domains linking to competitors but not to a tracked site as possible outreach gaps. Users can organize domains into portfolios, follow movement on dashboards, and receive scheduled weekly or monthly CSVs or shareable client report links. Its source is Common Crawl’s web graph, which Linkwake says covers more than 100 million domains; data changes when releases arrive, roughly every 2–3 months. The focus is domain-level links, not keywords, page-level links or anchor text. The free plan costs nothing and includes five tracked domains, release-change comparisons, email digests and manual reports. Paid plans start at $24/mo. Starter lists 100 domains and three releases of history; higher plans offer more tracked domains, longer history, reports and API access. Common Crawl is not a complete web index, so missing relationships should be checked before outreach.
