Linkody Pricing: Plans, Costs & Is It Worth It?
Tracking links is half the job. Building them is the other half.
MentionAgent finds blogs, looks up contacts, writes pitches, follows up. $99/mo flat.
Linkody costs $14.90/mo (Webmaster) up to $153.90/mo (Agency XL). Annual billing knocks 25% off (3 months free), so the entry tier becomes $11.20/mo. 30-day free trial, no credit card.
Same features across all tiers. You only pay for more domains, more monitored links, and more seats.
Cheaper alternatives: Google Search Console + Ahrefs Webmaster Tools (free) for sites you own.

What’s included on every plan
Linkody does not gate features by tier. Every plan, including Webmaster, includes:
- Backlink monitoring: link status checked every 24 hours
- Email reports: daily or weekly digests of new and lost backlinks
- SEO metrics: Domain Authority, Citation Flow, Trust Flow, and other third-party signals
- Link analytics: anchor text breakdown, dofollow vs nofollow, link type
- Lost link alerts: notifications when a tracked backlink disappears
- Disavow file builder: export a Google-ready disavow file
- New link detection: surfaces backlinks you haven’t added manually
- Visualizations and exports: charts plus CSV and PDF exports
Linkody free trial
Linkody offers a 30-day free trial with no credit card required. All features are available during the trial except CSV and PDF export. When a paid subscription expires, the account converts to a limited free tier rather than being deleted.
You have one site and want to monitor up to 500 backlinks at the cheapest possible Linkody tier. Which plan and what’s the annual price?
Right. Webmaster covers 2 domains and 500 monitored links. On annual billing it works out to $11.20/month with three months free.
Webmaster ($11.20/mo annual) is the cheapest tier and covers 500 monitored links. Advanced and Pro are only worth it if you need more domains or links.
Which plan is right for you?
- Webmaster ($14.90/mo): one or two sites, under 500 backlinks total. Good for indie sites and small blogs.
- Advanced ($24.90/mo): a small portfolio with up to 2,000 backlinks. Solo SEOs and small teams.
- Pro ($49.90/mo): 20 domains and 5,000 backlinks. Multi-brand operators and small agencies starting to manage clients.
- Agency ($99.90/mo): 50 domains, 20,000 backlinks, 5 seats. Agencies actively monitoring client portfolios.
- Agency XL ($153.90/mo): 100 domains and 50,000 backlinks. Larger agencies with many clients or high-volume sites.
Hidden costs to watch for
- Backlink limit applies across all sites. If your portfolio adds up to more than your tier’s monitored link cap, older or less important links may not be tracked. Plan for total volume, not just per-site.
- No keyword research or content tools. Linkody is monitoring-only. If you also need rank tracking and keyword data, you’ll layer on another tool, which usually costs more than Linkody itself.
- No outreach features. Linkody doesn’t help you earn new backlinks. To actually build links, you’ll need a separate outreach tool. MentionAgent ($99/mo) automates that side end-to-end.
You have 8 sites and roughly 3,000 backlinks total. What’s the cheapest Linkody tier that fits, on annual billing?
Right. Advanced caps out at 5 domains and 2,000 links, so it doesn’t fit. Pro covers 20 domains and 5,000 links, and at $37.40/mo annual it’s the cheapest tier that handles your volume.
Advanced caps at 5 domains and 2,000 links (too small). Agency is overkill at 50 domains. Pro at $37.40/mo annual is the cheapest tier that fits 8 domains and 3,000 links.
Is Linkody worth the price?
Linkody is worth it if you:
- Need a clean, dedicated backlink monitor without a steep learning curve
- Want daily or weekly email reports without configuration
- Are managing one to a few sites and don’t need a full SEO suite
- Want a cheap white-label-friendly tool for client reporting (Pro tier and up)
Linkody is probably not worth it if you:
- Need keyword research, content tools, or rank tracking (use Ahrefs or Semrush)
- Want a much larger backlink index (Ahrefs and Majestic are deeper)
- Are managing many clients with white-label PDFs (SEOptimer’s Monitor Backlinks is reporting-first)
- Care more about earning new backlinks than monitoring (you need an outreach tool)

You’re an agency monitoring 30 client domains. Which Linkody plan fits, and what does annual billing cost?
Right. Pro covers 20 domains and 5,000 backlinks. Not enough for 30 domains. The trick: you’d actually need Agency ($74.90/mo annual) for 50 domains. Pro caps at 20.
Pro covers 20 domains, which isn’t enough. You’d need Agency at $74.90/mo annual ($99.90 monthly) for up to 50 domains.
