Linkee

Linkee is a web service for automating link-building prospecting and email campaigns. It fits SEO teams, link builders, and agencies that need to move from finding suitable websites to contacting them and following up. Its strongest case is an integrated workflow; its main compromise is that project, credit, and inbox capacity rises sharply with the price.

Overview

Linkee supports guest-post and niche-edit campaigns, with imports from prospecting tools such as Ahrefs and SEMrush. It organizes websites by business category and niche, so teams can segment outreach instead of treating every prospect alike. The service is more relevant to campaign operators than to users who only want to monitor existing backlinks.

Its algorithm assesses contextual relevance between keywords and prospect domains or pages. That gives a useful starting point for narrowing a list, but campaign quality still depends on how carefully a team judges each site and its editorial suitability.

Key features

Prospect qualification

Filters cover domain authority, spam score, word count, language, and other criteria. Linkee also says it detects private blog networks, broken links, and non-secure websites. These controls can remove obvious risks and focus research on campaign requirements, particularly when a team needs repeatable screening rules rather than manual browsing of every domain.

Contacts and outreach

Linkee finds email addresses along with contact names and positions, then validates the collected addresses. Personalized messages, reusable templates, and scheduled follow-ups connect discovery to an actual campaign sequence. Gmail, SMTP, Outlook, and IMAP integrations give teams several ways to connect sending accounts. Open, reply, and click tracking provides basic feedback on recipient engagement.

Agency controls and security

Agencies can assign project-level access and role-based permissions. That is a meaningful reason to consider Agency when several people work across client campaigns. Linkee says customer data is encrypted in transit and at rest, backups are retained for a maximum of 30 days, and production-resource access is restricted. A help center covers setup, account, project, campaign, and email-management topics.

Pricing

Linkee has a free Personal plan and a 14-day trial. Essential costs $80.83 a month when billed under yearly pricing with 20% savings. It includes 10,000 monthly credits, one project, and three linked email accounts. This is the entry point for a small operation that can work inside one project and a limited number of inboxes.

Pro costs $164.17 a month on the same yearly-billing basis and raises capacity to 25,000 credits and five linked email accounts. It still includes one project, but adds a CRM and an onboarding session. Choose it when contact volume and account management justify the extra spend; it is less compelling if one project and three inboxes already cover the workflow.

Agency costs $298.33 a month with yearly billing, offering 60,000 credits, unlimited projects, unlimited linked email accounts, and user access control. The additional capacity and permissions suit agencies running multiple client programs, but the price is difficult to justify for a single campaign owner.

Business is $300 a month billed monthly, with three projects and unlimited campaigns. Its monthly term may suit teams that avoid annual billing, while the three-project limit makes it a different trade-off from Agency rather than a straightforward upgrade.

Platforms

Linkee runs on the web, so it suits teams that prefer browser-based access rather than a desktop application.

Who it's for

Linkee is a good fit for SEO specialists and agencies combining prospect research, contact finding, and sequenced outreach. Essential suits a small team with one active project; Pro is aimed at higher-volume work that benefits from CRM functions and onboarding; Agency is the practical choice for multi-client operations requiring many inboxes and controlled user access. It is a weaker choice for buyers seeking a low-cost backlink tracker or a broad desktop prospecting suite.

Pros and cons

Pros

• One campaign workflow: prospect discovery, contact validation, templates, follow-ups, and engagement tracking are connected.
• Useful screening controls: authority, spam, language, word-count, PBN, broken-link, and security checks help shape outreach lists.
• Agency permissions: project-level roles and unlimited projects on Agency support client work.
• Flexible email connections: Gmail, SMTP, Outlook, and IMAP cover common sending setups.

Cons

• Capacity is plan-dependent: Essential and Pro each allow only one project, and Essential has three linked email accounts.
• Higher tiers are expensive: Agency is $298.33 a month with annual billing, while Business is 300.00 USD monthly.
• Free use is limited as a buying signal: the Personal plan exists, but serious campaign capacity is concentrated in paid tiers.

Alternatives

For a broader shortlist, see Link Building Software. LinkAssistant is the better pick for a desktop application spanning Linux, macOS, and Windows, with a free plan that includes multiple prospect-search methods and saved projects.

Authoritas Link Building suits teams wanting API or web access and domain and keyword-rank quotas. BacklinkManager is another freemium web option. ColdSEO is preferable when a free tier with one inbox, monthly prospect credits, email sends, AI personalizations, and one active campaign is the priority. GuestPostCRM is a lower-cost alternative for users who want per-month plans with included users, credits, and automated reminders.

Link Manager is a freemium web choice for managing projects, publisher sites, and links. Linkody fits buyers focused on monitoring websites and links at lower monthly prices. BacklinkManager.app is another paid web alternative.

Verdict

Choose Linkee if you want prospect qualification, verified contact discovery, and follow-up automation in one web-based system, especially for agency campaigns that can use Agency's projects and permissions. Look elsewhere if your priority is inexpensive backlink monitoring, desktop software, or a large multi-project setup without committing to the higher-priced tiers.
