BacklinkBot alternatives: 5 directory submission services
BacklinkBot (backlinkbot.ai) sells two things, as of 5 November 2026. The agent finds pages already ranking for your keywords, writes to the people who run them, follows up at most twice and checks each link is live; you approve every email unless you turn that off. It costs $49/mo for 1 site ($19 for the first month if you've never subscribed), $99/mo for 3 sites or $199/mo for 10. The done-for-you service hand-submits a site to 100+ directories for $99 one-time ($199 for 3 sites, $249 for 5), with a proof link for every listing.
So the right BacklinkBot alternative depends on which half you'd replace. For directories, LaunchRanked, LaunchDirectories and ListingBott all submit for you by hand. For link outreach, the alternatives are doing it yourself or paying an agency; BacklinkBot's own team also does it for you, from $2,000/mo.
LaunchRanked's directory submission is $49 (30+), $99 (60+), $149 (100+). We don't do link outreach; our ongoing SEO is content and Search Console work (Autopilot, $49/mo, founding price).

LaunchRanked vs BacklinkBot at a glance
BacklinkBot details are from their own site or our research, at the time of writing (September 2026). Prices and terms change, so check their site before you decide.

|---|---|---|

Where we differ
Outreach is a different job
Asking ranking pages to link to you is classic link building. It can work; BacklinkBot makes approving each email the default and says it won't buy links, use link networks or promise a number of links.
Price per directory
BacklinkBot's one-site package is $99 for 100+ directories. Our 100+ tier is $149. Theirs is cheaper per listing, and cheaper again across 3 or 5 sites; ours focus on a smaller, niche-matched set.
What comes after
We pair directories with a free launch and ongoing content work. BacklinkBot pairs them with outreach.
When to pick BacklinkBot instead
- You want an outreach agent for editorial links.
- You're submitting 3 or 5 products and want one price for all of them.
- You'd rather start from a free directory list and submit yourself.
Frequently asked questions
How much is BacklinkBot?
As of 5 November 2026: the agent is $49/mo for 1 site ($19 for a first month), $99/mo for 3 sites or $199/mo for 10. Done-for-you directory submission is $99 one-time for 100+ directories on one site, $199 for 3 sites or $249 for 5, refunded in full if they can't deliver.
What are the best BacklinkBot alternatives?
It depends on the half you need. For hand-submitted directories: LaunchRanked ($49 (30+), $99 (60+), $149 (100+)), LaunchDirectories or ListingBott. For editorial links: your own outreach to pages already ranking for your keywords, or an agency. Check what each one reports back; a live link you can click beats a count.
Is automated link outreach risky?
Google's spam policies list "using automated programs or services to create links to your site" as link spam. Outreach that asks real site owners for a link on merit is different, but keep the pitches honest and approve them yourself.
Does LaunchRanked do link outreach?
No. We submit to directories by hand and never sell links.
