Majestic alternative: LaunchRanked vs Majestic

Majestic is a specialist backlink index. It crawls the web for links and scores sites with Trust Flow and Citation Flow, both on a 0–100 scale. At the time of writing (September 2026), Lite is $49.99/mo (Fresh Index only), Pro is $99.99/mo (adds the Historic Index, raw exports and more) and the API plan is $399.99/mo, all ex-VAT, with a 7-day money-back guarantee on Lite and Pro.

We don't have a backlink index, and we won't pretend to. Majestic tells you who links to whom. LaunchRanked gives you one followed link (from your launch page, after human review) and does the kind of SEO that earns links over time. We never sell or trade links.

Where Majestic is a great choice

Link analysis at scale: who links to you and to competitors.
Topical Trust Flow, to judge whether linking sites are relevant to your niche.
Researching link history back to 2006 with the Historic Index (Pro).
Bulk link data via the API plan.

Where we differ

Measuring links vs earning them

Majestic measures links. It can't create a single one. Our launch gives you one real, reviewed, followed link, and our content work aims to make pages worth linking to.

We won't sell you links

Google's spam policies name buying links and excessive link exchanges as link spam. That's why we never sell links, never require a badge, and don't run a link network.

Metrics are estimates

Trust Flow, like any third-party score, is an estimate. Google doesn't use it. It's useful for comparing sites, not as a goal.

When to pick Majestic instead

You need to audit your backlink profile or a competitor's.
You judge link prospects by topical relevance.
You want link data by API.

Yes. Every listing that passes human review gets a followed link on its product page. No badge or link back required, and we never charge for the link itself.
