ClevRank vs Getlinko: marketplaces for media backlinks

Larger catalog. Getlinko lists 5,000+ verified publishers across Spain, Latin America, Italy and Portugal. ClevRank has 1,400+ outlets. If you need very specific media in LatAm markets (Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Chile), Getlinko has more coverage.

No subscription required. You top up your wallet and buy articles one at a time. No monthly commitment. ClevRank's Backlink Autopilot requires a subscription (from 25 EUR/mo), though the marketplace itself lets you buy individual articles too.

Group articles from 5 EUR. Multiple advertisers share one article, each getting their link. Cheapest way to get a backlink in a real publication. ClevRank doesn't offer group articles.

Escrow payments and 2-year guarantee. Funds are held until you verify the publication is live and meets quality standards. Articles must stay published for at least 2 years. ClevRank doesn't use an escrow system.

Managed service. From 500 EUR/month, a human team handles media selection and campaign execution. Useful if you don't want to browse the catalog yourself. ClevRank's Backlink Autopilot automates selection algorithmically rather than with human strategists.

More SEO metrics. Getlinko shows DA, DR, Trust Flow, Citation Flow and estimated traffic. ClevRank shows DA, DR and Ahrefs traffic. If Trust Flow and Citation Flow matter to your workflow, Getlinko has them.

No content generation. Getlinko is a marketplace, not a content tool. You write the article yourself, let the publisher write it, or pay 20 EUR extra for Getlinko's writers. There's no AI pipeline, no keyword research, no editorial calendar. If you need content for your own blog, you need a separate tool.

No automation. Every link purchase is manual: browse the catalog, pick a publisher, place the order, wait for publication, verify quality. If you buy 20 links a month, that's 20 manual processes. ClevRank's Backlink Autopilot selects media automatically based on your niche, budget and content category.

No rank tracking. You buy links but can't track whether they're improving your rankings. You need Ahrefs, Semrush or another tool to measure impact.

Opaque commissions. Getlinko doesn't disclose the exact markup applied to publisher prices. They describe it as "an intelligent commission system that adapts to market conditions." You don't know how much of what you pay goes to the publisher vs. the platform.

No independent reviews. Getlinko has no presence on Trustpilot, G2 or Capterra. The only reviews available are from SEO industry blogs, many of which include affiliate links. There's no way to independently verify user satisfaction.

Three products, one platform. Content Autopilot generates AI articles for your own blog (from $19/mo). Backlink Autopilot selects media automatically from the marketplace based on your niche and budget (from EUR 25/mo). Rankings tracks your Google positions (from EUR 4.99/mo). Getlinko only does the marketplace part.

Automated link building. You set a budget and content category, Backlink Autopilot picks the best media for your niche from the catalog. No browsing, no manual selection, no order-by-order workflow. The system optimizes for domain authority and relevance within your budget.

Content for your own blog. The Content Autopilot pipeline researches your competition, writes articles, humanizes them, adds images and publishes to your CMS. Getlinko doesn't generate content for your domain at all.

Rank tracking built in. See if your backlinks and content are actually improving your Google positions. From EUR 4.99/month. Without tracking, link building is spend without measurement.
