- The platform then coordinates both placements.
Where Ranklytics does well
Stated plainly. If one of these matters more to you than anything that follows, use them rather than us.
- Honest about the SEO risk of exchanges.
- You keep control: approvals, thresholds, exclusions.
- No directory browsing or outreach emails.
- Rank tracking, audits and content tools sit alongside.
How we differ
| Ranklytics | Swap Backlinks | |
|---|---|---|
| Adding the link | Placements are coordinated by the platform. | An agent in your repo writes the link into a page you choose. |
| After the link goes live | Dashboard monitoring; details unclear. | Fetched when reported, then again at 7 days, 30 days and monthly, with both sides notified of changes. |
| Scope | Suite with an exchange feature. | Exchange only. |
| Price | Subscription. | Free to use; Pro is an optional upgrade for more sites. |
Which should you choose
Choose Ranklytics when:
- You want SEO tooling beside the exchange.
- You want to approve each match against your own standards.
- You like vendors who are upfront about exchange risk.
Choose Swap Backlinks when:
- You prefer a focused exchange to a suite bill.
- You want the re-check schedule written down.
- You work in a code editor.
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 If anything on this page is out of date, let us know and we will fix it.
