How RankChase works
- Add your domains to the list.
- The service reads your niche, authority and traffic on its own.
- Suggested partners arrive by email after a short delay.
- You request swaps from the dashboard; paid plans show more about each candidate.
Where RankChase does well
Stated plainly. If one of these matters more to you than anything that follows, use them rather than us.
- Nothing to browse: candidates are delivered to you.
- Cheap entry price, and per-site billing fits people with portfolios.
- Paid filters on authority, traffic, keywords and TLD give tight control.
- Its checks try to catch mismatches like strong authority with almost no visitors.
How we differ
| RankChase | Swap Backlinks | |
|---|---|---|
| Adding the link | You arrange and place it yourself after the match. | An agent in your repo writes the link into a page you choose. |
| After the link goes live | Not clear from public material. | Fetched when reported, then again at 7 days, 30 days and monthly, with both sides notified of changes. |
| Who the partner is | Details may be paywalled. | Anonymous first; revealed free once both accept. |
| Price | Free tier plus per-site paid plans. | Free to use; Pro is an optional upgrade for more sites. |
Which should you choose
Choose RankChase when:
- You prefer candidates in your inbox over a directory.
- You manage lots of domains and want to pay per domain.
- You want to tune authority bands, keywords and TLDs.
Choose Swap Backlinks when:
- You want help with the placement itself, not just the introduction.
- You want links monitored after they go up.
- You object to paying per site just to see who you matched with.
The exchange is free to use and runs entirely from your coding agent. Read the MCP docs or submit a site on the web. If anything on this page is out of date, let us know and we will fix it.
