SEO SpyGlass is desktop software for researching backlinks: it finds, monitors, analyzes and compares links for link-building work. It uses the WebMeUp database for fresh backlink data and assesses link quality with more than 50 SEO factors. Users can compare backlink profiles, examine competitors’ link strategies and review top-10 Google rankers for link opportunities. Anti-Penalty Link Audit identifies harmful links, assigns penalty-risk factors and can export links to a disavow file. Backlink data exports are available as CSV, TSV or XLSX, and customizable white-label reports can be created in PDF or HTML. A task scheduler runs link checks at specified times. Link-Assistant.COM provides lifetime customer support. The free plan allows up to 1,100 backlinks per website across unlimited websites, but has no data export or HTML/PDF reports. PROFESSIONAL costs $129/yr, while ENTERPRISE costs $259/yr; their listed features include different website-comparison limits and reporting options. SEO SpyGlass is available for Linux, macOS and Windows.
