Between seat limits, row caps and “contact sales” API tiers, pulling raw link data at scale turns into a procurement project.

apibacklinks turns all of that into a single JSON call over a 2.7-billion-edge map of the web — no dashboard, no scraping, no SDK. Domain Rating and link counts are free and keyless; the heavy backlink and referring-domain lists cost about a tenth of what Articlesfactory and the incumbents charge.

The numbers for articlesfactory.com above come straight from that index — proof it works on the brand you’re comparing. Domain Rating and link counts are free and keyless; the heavy lists cost about a tenth of the usual rate. Start with $100 on the house.
