Top 10 best backlink platforms in November 2026: my detailed comparison

Every platform compared side by side in one table: rank, name and score, with the rated ones on top and the rest still under analysis. Each row links to the platform’s own section further down, where its model, pricing and what I make of it are laid out in full. The score column stays empty for a platform I have not bought from, because a comparison table is exactly where an unearned number would do the most damage.

The metrics in this table are defined in the link building glossary, and you can apply the same criteria to a site you are considering with the backlink quality scorer. Every tool is free and listed under free backlink tools.

The best netlinking platforms for SEO

#1 MeUp Review & Test: November 2026 (8.75/10)

Marketplace

MeUp homepage

My take : A very pleasant platform to get to grips with: everything is clear, well presented and simple to use. The catalogue is large and of good quality, with prices that are not the lowest on the market but stay reasonable. Transparency is good; the main drawback is the lack of Google Analytics 4 and Search Console data, which means relying on third-party metrics that are easier to manipulate. Best for those who value a polished interface and a solid catalogue over the lowest price.

  • Usability 10/10 (40%)

    Everything is very well presented, simple to use and clear.

  • Reliability 8/10 (25%)

    Reliable, but no Google Analytics 4 or Search Console data is provided: you rely on third-party metrics instead, which can be manipulated.

  • Value for money 7/10 (20%)

    Not the cheapest, but a large, quality catalogue.

  • Transparency 9/10 (15%)

    Very transparent.

What stands out

Transparent and accurate publisher metrics

Newer platform with limited public visibility

Marketplace

Getalink homepage

My take : Overall I like this platform for buying links on large domains. It isn't suited to small budgets: under €100 there isn't much quality. Above that, you get very good spots across all kinds of niches, including sensitive ones.

  • Usability 8/10 (40%)

    Rather easy. You can sometimes get lost in the filters, which aren't always well surfaced, and there are a lot of them. Outside the spot-search area the interface is fairly basic and not especially welcoming. On the other hand, all the information about each spot is very clear, prices included. You can also save filter presets.

  • Reliability 8/10 (25%)

    I almost always got the spots I picked. Once a spot turned out not to be available: I was refunded and offered alternatives, which weren't very well chosen in practice.

  • Value for money 7/10 (20%)

    Not always the cheapest, but generally in the top 3 when I compare.

  • Transparency 9/10 (15%)

    Plenty of third-party metrics (DR, Citation Flow, Trust Flow, referring domains, DA, PA), plus Similarweb, and I believe GSC and GA4 data on some spots.

What stands out

Works directly with media owners, so no reseller markup

No real quality below the €100 mark

#3 Growwer Review & Test: November 2026 (7.95/10)

Marketplace

Growwer homepage

My take : A modern, transparent platform focused on targeting: it recommends media by affinity with your project and even lets you filter by presence in ChatGPT and Google's AI overviews, a rare angle. Listings are rich, with the ahrefs traffic curve, acceptance rate and delivery time. Prices are not the lowest but the targeting avoids wasted purchases. A good choice for those who want to steer their visibility finely, AI included.

  • Usability 8/10 (40%)

    A clear, well-thought-out interface: you create a project, the platform suggests media by affinity, and the catalogue filters finely, down to ranking in AI engines.

  • Reliability 8/10 (25%)

    Every listing shows an acceptance rate and an estimated delivery time, and a managed mode lets you delegate the campaign. The Trustpilot score is good, on a still-modest sample.

  • Value for money 7/10 (20%)

    Placements of roughly EUR 126 to 600 depending on the media, not the cheapest, but with precise affinity and AI-visibility targeting that cuts wasted purchases.

  • Transparency 9/10 (15%)

    Very transparent: ahrefs metrics with a three-year traffic curve per media, visibility filters for ChatGPT and Google's AI overviews, and per-project recommendations that are explained.

What stands out

Massive and growing media network

Limited site visibility before purchase

#4 Collaborator.pro Review & Test: November 2026 (7.45/10)

Marketplace

Collaborator.pro homepage

My take : A complete, versatile marketplace: beyond standard articles, it adds Telegram placements, press releases across a large media network and a competitor analysis useful for targeting. The optional link insurance and a sizeable review sample reassure on reliability, and prices stay reasonable. You need to create a project to reach the full catalogue. A good pick for those wanting to vary link formats with good metrics at a balanced price.

  • Usability 7/10 (40%)

    The catalogue filters well and the competitor analysis is handy, but reaching the full catalogue requires creating a project first, which adds a step before you can search.

  • Reliability 8/10 (25%)

    Solid reliability: an optional link insurance protects a placement for a year, and the Trustpilot score rests on a sizeable 219-review, mostly positive sample.

  • Value for money 8/10 (20%)

    Good value: posts of roughly EUR 60 to 420 depending on the site, copywriting billed separately, and varied formats (Telegram, press releases) that broaden the scope without a forced surcharge.

  • Transparency 7/10 (15%)

    Every listing shows detailed traffic (direct, referral, search, social), the DR and an internal quality score. Negotiation and some prices are handled case by case, though.

What stands out

Extensive vetted catalogue

Misleading country traffic filter

#5 Adsy Review & Test: November 2026 (7.35/10)

Marketplace

Adsy homepage

My take : A broad, well-run international marketplace: a large catalogue of verified sites, thorough filters and transparent third-party metrics on every listing. Payments are secured through escrow, though a few buyers report refund delays. Prices stay reasonable without being the lowest. A good fit for those wanting volume and international coverage with clear data, rather than the rock-bottom price.

  • Usability 8/10 (40%)

    A polished, well-organized interface: the catalogue of 89,070 verified sites filters on about twenty criteria, with saved site lists and presets. It is easy to find your way around.

  • Reliability 7/10 (25%)

    The platform monitors link presence and secures payments through escrow, but some buyers report refund delays, which weighs on perceived reliability.

  • Value for money 6/10 (20%)

    Prices range from under $5 to several hundred depending on the site; the offering is broad but not the most aggressive on price, with an entry deposit fee.

  • Transparency 8/10 (15%)

    Every listing shows clear third-party metrics (Ahrefs, Moz, Majestic, traffic) and separates content-provided from writing-included. The Trustpilot score rests on a sizeable sample.

What stands out

Vast publisher network

#6 Linkavista Review & Test: November 2026 (7.15/10)

Network

Linkavista homepage

My take : Linkavista positions itself as an AI-driven PBN with a genuine marketplace: 80,955 catalogue sites, 41,185 of them French (counted live), full verified per-listing metrics, a negotiation inbox and built-in competitor analysis. The tooling is solid, but trust is tempered by a middling Trustpilot, reported post-order price counter-offers and features still in beta. A good ground for French-language links, provided each quote is checked. Provisional score, to be refined with my real hands-on feedback.

  • Usability 8/10 (40%)

    The marketplace offers advanced filters, full per-site metrics (TF, CF, DA, referring domains, traffic), built-in messaging to negotiate with the publisher and integrated competitor analysis: the tooling observed is complete and well organised.

  • Reliability 6/10 (25%)

    Trustpilot sits at just 4.1/5 across 21 reviews, post-order price counter-offers are reported despite the 'lowest price guaranteed' label, and some features such as Link Opportunities are still in beta.

  • Value for money 7/10 (20%)

    Entry starts from EUR 7 via delegated spots and climbs to EUR 838 depending on metrics, across 41,185 counted FR sites: the choice is wide, but the low-price guarantee is not always honoured.

  • Transparency 7/10 (15%)

    Per-site metrics are verified and the catalogue is checkable on the counter (80,955 sites, 41,185 of them French, read live); however a funded balance is required to order and there is no public pricing outside the platform.

What stands out

Predominantly French-language catalogue: 41,185 FR sites out of 80,955

Post-order price counter-offers reported by buyers, despite the 'lowest price guaranteed' label

#7 Linkuma Review & Test: November 2026 (6.5/10)

Network

Linkuma homepage

My take : Linkuma is a private network built for volume and support: the homepage announces more than 45,000 sites, the blog details 17,000 exclusive sites across 12 themes, and public packages start at €7 excl. VAT with copywriting included. The service is more guided than a classic marketplace, with a free SEO audit, included support, campaign tracking and a 21-day indexing guarantee. The trade-off is control: on the standard packages, you buy an outcome inside Linkuma's network rather than choosing each publisher row by row. Best used for reinforcement campaigns where price, simplicity and delegation matter more than per-spot transparency.

  • Usability 6/10 (40%)

    The model is simple: you pick a package (Starter EUR 7, Boost EUR 30, Marketplace up to EUR 190) and the article is written for you, but you choose neither the site nor the content, so the interface stays lean at the cost of very limited control.

  • Reliability 7/10 (25%)

    A 21-day indexing guarantee replaces the link if it is not indexed, and the Trustpilot snapshot stored on this page shows 4.7/5 from 127 reviews; in return, it is a closed network, so the links' durability depends entirely on the health of the private network.

  • Value for money 8/10 (20%)

    Links from EUR 7 with copywriting included and delivery schedulable over several months make the price-to-volume ratio very aggressive, hard to match for network links at this price.

  • Transparency 5/10 (15%)

    You can neither choose nor see the site before buying, and no per-spot metric is exposed: the private network is opaque by design, which limits independent quality checks.

What stands out

A 30,000-site PBN with links found nowhere else

The catch

Nothing outside the private network

#8 Linkatomic Review & Test: November 2026 (6.2/10)

Marketplace

Linkatomic homepage

My take : A functional but unremarkable platform: the catalogue is decent, with a strong French-language tilt, per-media metrics and regular promotions. The interface stays basic and there is no public third-party review page to back up reliability. Prices range from small blogs to national newspapers. It works for volume at a controlled price, but you will find more polished and more transparent options elsewhere.

  • Usability 6/10 (40%)

    The interface does the job but stays basic: the catalogue filters adequately, without the refinements of the best platforms, and the ergonomics lack polish.

  • Reliability 6/10 (25%)

    Average reliability: orders work, but no public third-party review page exists to back up the experience, leaving little external perspective.

  • Value for money 7/10 (20%)

    Decent value: prices span from under EUR 150 for a small blog to several thousand for a national newspaper, with regular promotions on some media.

  • Transparency 6/10 (15%)

    Listings show DR, DA, keywords, visits and price, but the lack of traffic metrics verified by an independent third party, and of a review page, limits transparency.

What stands out

Access to over 21,000 trusted media outlets

Traffic data can be significantly misleading

#9 Serpzilla Review & Test: November 2026 (6/10)

Network

Serpzilla homepage

My take : Serpzilla is a very high-volume network: over 150,000 sites, 40+ filters, five-minute placement and negligible entry points (from $0.01/month). Paying only for active links protects the buyer, but the model stays rental-based, with leased links that die once you stop paying, sometimes optimistic traffic estimates and a reputation dented by recycled site networks. Best kept for low-cost volume tests, watching the links' real durability. Provisional score, to be refined with my real hands-on feedback.

  • Usability 6/10 (40%)

    Access to over 150,000 sites with more than 40 filtering metrics and placement possible in five minutes makes it quick to get started, but the mass automation leaves little fine control over each individual site.

  • Reliability 6/10 (25%)

    You only pay for links actually placed and active, which protects the buyer, but the model is rental-based, the SEO community distrusts the recycled site networks, and bulk automated buying creates unnatural link spikes.

  • Value for money 6/10 (20%)

    Entry points are extremely low (niche edits from $0.01/month, guest posts from $5), but the rental model means a recurring cost and traffic estimates can be optimistic, which puts the headline price into perspective.

  • Transparency 6/10 (15%)

    The catalogue and the 40+ filters are accessible, but traffic estimates can be optimistic, there is no geographic-distribution filter, and Trustpilot is too thin (4 reviews) to read a reliable signal.

What stands out

Access to over 150,000 sites and a billion pages

The catch

Traffic estimates can be optimistic

#10 iCopify Review & Test: November 2026 (6/10)

Marketplace

iCopify homepage

My take : Icopify is a very low-cost marketplace (from $4 per backlink) on a massive 40,000+ site inventory, with full content control and a clean interface. But the quality signals are worrying: metrics described as misleading, sometimes dead sites, a presence guarantee poorly honoured in practice, dismal support and a 1.0/5 Slashdot score. A minimum balance is even required to view the catalogue, worth flagging. Handle with caution, checking each site before buying. Provisional score, to be refined with my real hands-on feedback.

  • Usability 6/10 (40%)

    The interface is clean and simple and the inventory is massive (40,000+ publisher sites) with full control over the content, but browsing stays gated until the account is funded, a point worth flagging.

  • Reliability 6/10 (25%)

    A 6-month link presence guarantee is advertised, but feedback reports links that are not permanent in practice, poor-quality or dead sites and a high de-indexing risk, echoed by a 1.0/5 Slashdot score.

  • Value for money 6/10 (20%)

    Pricing is extremely low ($4 to $400+ per backlink, content from $6.45), but the uneven quality of the sites and a questionable refund policy erode the real value of a cheap link.

  • Transparency 6/10 (15%)

    The headquarters (Liverpool) and the price range are clear, but the metrics are described as highly misleading and inaccurate, support is dismal, and a minimum balance is required even to see the catalogue.

What stands out

Massive inventory

The catch

Highly misleading and inaccurate metrics

Best backlink platform for your need

A quick map of needs to platforms. Each match is read from what the platform states about itself, not from a rating: only tested platforms carry a score.

Best netlinking platform for an SEO agency

An agency runs several clients and needs volume, a broad catalogue and self-service control.

  • MeUp Best fit Self-service marketplace, catalogue stated: 150,000+ websites, 80,000+ unique domains.
  • Getalink Self-service marketplace, catalogue stated: 30,000+ domains, ~200 added weekly.
  • Growwer Self-service marketplace, catalogue stated: 37,300+ media outlets, 685 added last month, 3,180 categories.

Best netlinking platform for gambling and sensitive niches

Casino, CBD, adult: these niches are hard to place on a public marketplace. A network placing on its own inventory is often more open to them.

  • Linkavista Best fit Network placing on its own inventory.
  • Linkuma Network placing on its own inventory.
  • Serpzilla Network placing on its own inventory, rented links.

Best backlink platform for a small budget

For a first link with no commitment, you want a low entry price and a one-off payment rather than a subscription.

  • MeUp Best fit One-off payment (permanent link), stated entry price: SEO copywriting from $25. No subscriptions or hidden fees.
  • Getalink One-off payment (permanent link), stated entry price: Posts from EUR 25 depending on the publisher; our tester finds no real quality below EUR 100; managed service from EUR 400/month, no contract.
  • Growwer One-off payment (permanent link), stated entry price: From €100 per placement. No public pricing tiers, quotes are per campaign.

FAQ: buying backlinks and choosing a platform

What is a backlink platform?

A backlink platform connects link buyers with publisher sites willing to publish a link to your site for a fee. It comes in two main forms: the marketplace, where you pick each site and see its metrics, and the network, which places your links across its own inventory, with less control but often more volume.

How much does a backlink cost on these platforms?

Prices vary widely by platform and by the domain’s authority. Below €100 a link, quality thins out fast: domains with a real audience usually cost more. Each review on this site states the entry price the platform announces.

Marketplace or network: what is the difference?

A marketplace lets you select each site one by one and check its metrics before buying. A network sells volume at a fixed price, placing links across its own set of sites, with less visibility over the exact placement. A network suits volume and hard-to-place niches; a marketplace suits fine-grained selection.

Are purchased links permanent?

It depends on the model. Most platforms sell permanent links: you pay once and the link stays up, subject to the guarantee. Others rent links: you pay every month, and the link is removed as soon as you stop paying. This is the most important distinction to check before buying.

Is buying backlinks risky for SEO?

Buying links goes against Google’s guidelines, and Google can devalue or penalise artificial links. The risk depends mostly on the quality and relevance of the sites: links on domains with a real audience, in your niche, are far less risky than a volume of low-grade links. This site reviews each platform on those criteria.

How are platforms rated on this site?

A score is only given to a platform with documented first-hand checks, following a published methodology. Platforms not yet documented are shown with their facts (model, pricing, catalogue) but no score: I do not rate what I have not verified.
