Linkody Review
The easiest way to track your link building campaigns.
Linkody is a focused, affordable backlink monitoring tool that does one thing exceptionally well: keeping you informed about the health of your link profile 24/7. It is not a prospecting or outreach tool, but for link builders who already have a separate workflow for that, it fills the monitoring gap at a price that is hard to beat.
Pros and cons
- Transparent, affordable pricing starting at €13.90/month with a free 30-day trial
- 24/7 automated link monitoring with daily status checks and email alerts
- Competitor backlink analysis included on all plans
- White-label PDF reports ready to send to clients
- Easy disavow file generation with spam score filtering
- Exceptional customer support rated 4.9/5 on Capterra
- No built-in prospecting or outreach features, purely a monitoring tool
- Interface feels functional but lacks the polish of newer SEO tools
- Domain and link quotas on lower plans are tight for active campaigns
- Limited third-party integrations compared to broader SEO platforms
What is Linkody?
Linkody is a dedicated backlink monitoring and analysis tool designed for SEO professionals, agencies, and in-house teams. Rather than trying to be an all-in-one SEO suite, Linkody focuses entirely on tracking the links you build and those pointing to your competitors, giving you a clear picture of your link profile health at all times.
The tool checks your backlinks every 24 hours and sends email reports when links are gained, lost, or change status. This catches issues like a host removing your link, a page going noindex, or a previously dofollow link switching to nofollow before they become problems for your rankings. Competitor monitoring runs automatically in parallel, so you can spot new links appearing in competitor profiles and decide whether to pursue the same sources.
Linkody is built with agencies in mind. All plans include white-label PDF reports that can be sent directly to clients, team member access with role controls, and a link visualizer that shows exactly where on a page your link appears. The disavow tool integrates with Google's disavow file format, making it easy to identify potentially harmful links and generate a file ready to upload.
Core features
24/7 Backlink Monitoring
Linkody checks every backlink in your profile every 24 hours and logs changes in real time. You receive email reports on a daily or weekly basis (your choice) showing new links gained, links lost, and status changes such as dofollow switching to nofollow or a linked page returning a 404 error.
Competitor Backlink Analysis
Add competitor domains to your Linkody account and their backlinks are monitored alongside yours. Competitor links do not count against your link quota, so you can track an unlimited number of competitor links per plan. See which sites link to your competitors but not to you to uncover link building opportunities.
Full Metrics Suite
Every backlink is enriched with a comprehensive set of SEO metrics including Moz Domain Authority, Page Authority, Trust Flow, Citation Flow, Spam Score, Google index status, and external link count. These metrics help you assess the value and risk of each link at a glance without needing to run separate tool lookups.
White-Label PDF Reports
Generate professional backlink reports for clients directly within Linkody. Reports are white-labeled and include link profiles, metrics breakdowns, anchor text analysis, and comparison against competitors. CSV export is also available for teams that prefer to work with raw data in spreadsheets.
Disavow Tool
Filter your backlink profile by Spam Score and other risk metrics to quickly identify potentially harmful links. Linkody generates a disavow file in Google's required format that you can download and upload directly to Google Search Console. Rules-based filtering makes it easy to bulk-flag links from specific IPs, countries, or domains.
Link Visualizer
Click any backlink in your profile to instantly see exactly where on the linking page your link appears. The visual overlay removes the need to load each page manually and verify link placement, saving significant time when auditing large link profiles or confirming that newly placed links are live and correctly formatted.

Who it is for
You build links for clients and need to track whether those links stay live without logging into five different dashboards. Linkody consolidates all client domains into one view with daily email alerts, so you know immediately when a link is removed and can follow up with the site owner.
You need to show clients the health and growth of their link profile every month without spending hours manually pulling data. Linkody's white-label PDF reports are generated in seconds, include all key metrics, and can be emailed directly to clients with your branding.
Your team has spent significant budget building editorial links and you need to ensure they stay live and maintain their value. Linkody's 24/7 monitoring and disavow tool protect that investment by catching lost or toxic links before they damage your rankings.
Verdict
Linkody is one of the best-value tools in the link building stack. It does not try to replace prospecting or outreach tools but fills the monitoring gap at a price point that makes sense even for solo freelancers. The 30-day free trial with no credit card required removes all risk in evaluating whether it fits your workflow.
Frequently asked questions
How often does Linkody check my backlinks?
Linkody checks your backlinks every 24 hours. You can receive email reports on a daily or weekly basis, or turn off email reports entirely if you prefer to check the dashboard manually.
Do competitor links count against my link quota?
No. Competitor domain links are monitored separately and do not use up your plan's link quota. Only links pointing to your own domains count against the monitored links limit.
Does Linkody have a free plan?
There is no permanent free plan, but Linkody offers a 30-day free trial that ends automatically. No credit card is required to start the trial. CSV and PDF export features are not available during the trial.
Can I white-label the reports for clients?
Yes. All Linkody plans include white-label PDF report generation. Reports can be customized and sent directly to clients without Linkody branding.
What metrics does Linkody track for each backlink?
Linkody enriches each backlink with Moz Domain Authority, Moz Page Authority, Trust Flow, Citation Flow, Spam Score, Google index status, and external link count. You also see the anchor text, link type (dofollow or nofollow), and the date the link was first discovered.
Can I cancel my Linkody subscription at any time?
Yes. Monthly subscriptions can be cancelled at any time. When your subscription period ends, your account converts to a free plan and Linkody retains your link data in case you re-subscribe later.
