Best Places to Buy SaaS Backlinks (2026, Honest)

There is no single best place to buy SaaS backlinks. There is only the best fit for what you are trying to do, how much you want to spend, and how much of the work you want to own. A funded team that wants links handled end to end has different needs than a bootstrapped founder testing whether a few links move a comparison page. So instead of crowning one winner, this roundup names the real options across every category and tells you honestly who each one is for.

We sell SaaS links ourselves, so treat this as informed rather than neutral. We have tried to be fair: every competitor below is a legitimate way to buy links, and several beat us on dimensions we do not pretend to win. What we will do is be specific about where each one fits, including where we do not.

How to judge any place that sells backlinks

Before you compare names, decide what actually matters. Five criteria separate a link that helps from a line item that wastes money.

Vetting. Does the site have real organic traffic and topical relevance, or is it a thin domain with inflated metrics? Some platforms screen inventory before it appears; others let anyone list and leave the due diligence to you. Neither is wrong, but you need to know which one you are buying into. Our own take on this is in how we vet sites, and the broader skill of reading a link before you pay is covered in backlink quality: how to judge a link before buying.

Transparency. Can you see the destination URL, the real price, and source-dated traffic and authority metrics before you commit? Self-serve marketplaces usually show this up front. Agencies usually give you a DR range and a link count instead of a browsable list.

Relevance. A link from a software or B2B site near your topic is worth more than a higher-DR link from an unrelated general blog. SaaS-specific inventory is rarer than the headline site counts suggest, so relevance is often where the work hides.

Indexation. A link that never gets indexed does nothing. Most guarantees in this space cover link retention (the link stays live) or link replacement (it gets swapped if removed), not indexation. Those are different promises. If you want to understand why, our 30-day indexation guarantee page explains the distinction.

Price model. Per-link self-serve, monthly retainer, or per-gig freelance. This is less about the number and more about commitment: do you want to buy specific listings one at a time, or commit to a package and let someone else pick?

Hold every option below against those five. The honest answer for most teams is that two or three of these matter a lot and the rest are negotiable, so weight them to your situation.

SaaS-focused marketplace

Saaslinks

What it is. A buyer-side, SaaS-only backlink marketplace (run by Serpbays LLC). Where most marketplaces span every niche, this one is curated specifically for SaaS and B2B software buyers.

How you buy. Self-serve, per link, from a wallet you top up. No retainer, no sales call. Every listing shows transparent per-link pricing and source-dated traffic and authority metrics (Ahrefs, Semrush, Moz) so you can judge a site before you spend. You can buy backlinks for SaaS directly, or browse the full SaaS link building services if you want more done for you.

Honest pros.

• SaaS-only inventory, so the catalog is already filtered for software and B2B relevance instead of leaving that work to you.
• Every site clears four vetting gates before it is listed; roughly one in eight applicants is accepted. The criteria are published in how we vet sites.
• Real-traffic sites with metrics that carry the source and date, not vanity numbers.
• A 30-day indexed-or-refunded guarantee, which is stronger than the link-retention or replacement guarantees most competitors offer.
• Transparent per-link pricing on every listing and a self-serve wallet, so you can start small and buy exactly the placements you want. See pricing for the model.

Honest cons.

• It is a young, SaaS-focused marketplace with a smaller, curated catalog. If you need a giant general-purpose database or heavy non-US and non-tech coverage, you will find more selection elsewhere.
• Because the catalog is deliberately narrow, very broad multi-niche campaigns are not the use case.
• The smaller size means that on raw breadth and country coverage, the big general marketplaces below genuinely beat us.

Best for. SaaS teams who want vetted, real-traffic, SaaS-relevant links with transparent per-link pricing and an indexation guarantee, bought per link with no retainer. If breadth and volume across many niches matter more than SaaS curation and an indexation guarantee, one of the general marketplaces below is a better fit.

General link marketplaces

These are the breadth options. All four are legitimate, self-serve, and transparent about price. The shared trade-off: they are general-purpose, so SaaS-relevant, real-traffic sites are a subset you filter for yourself, and their guarantees cover link uptime or replacement, not indexation.

Collaborator.pro

What it is. A large self-serve guest-post and link-building marketplace where publishers list their own sites. Also covers press releases and Telegram channel advertising.

How you buy. Fund a wallet, browse a large multi-country catalog, filter by traffic, authority, niche, and country, then order directly from the publisher. Entry prices are low (commonly starting in the low tens of dollars per article) and scale with authority. The platform adds a commission plus a payment-processor fee on top of the publisher's price, and turnaround is generally fast.

Honest pros.

• Large, broad catalog, so a SaaS buyer can usually find relevant sites in almost any niche or geo.
• Strong data transparency, with third-party metrics and an extensive set of filters shown before purchase.
• Manual moderation and publisher verification reduce obvious junk.
• Transparent per-placement pricing, no retainer, and fast turnaround.
• A link-monitoring guarantee that covers retention for a defined window.

Honest cons.

• General-purpose, not SaaS-specific, so you do your own vetting to find software and B2B-relevant sites.
• Inventory skews toward certain non-US geographies, so US and English SaaS-fit sites are a subset you filter for.
• Quality varies by publisher, and third-party metrics can occasionally be stale.
• Fees stack: a platform commission plus payment processing sit on top of the publisher's price.
• The guarantee is retention-focused, not indexation-or-refund.

Best for. Buyers, including SaaS teams, who want maximum breadth and hands-on control across many niches, languages, and countries at transparent per-link prices, and who are comfortable filtering a large general catalog down to SaaS-relevant sites. A good fit for international campaigns or when you need selection over a small curated list.

PressWhizz

What it is. A self-serve marketplace for guest posts and niche edits where sites are vetted before they appear and you see the real destination URL and metrics before purchase.

How you buy. Free signup and full browse access. Filter by niche, traffic, DR, spam score, and keyword, then order link by link. Pricing is per placement and not publicly fixed; it tends to start in the low tens of dollars and rises into the hundreds, or past a thousand, for high-authority sites. Content is an add-on, not included by default. Turnaround is generally fast.

Honest pros.

• Transparent per-link buying with the real destination URL and metrics shown before you pay.
• Large, broad multi-country catalog with sites screened before they appear.
• Fast turnaround and a link replacement guarantee covering removed links.
• Strong filtering plus a duplicate-placement safeguard so you do not buy the same site twice.

Honest cons.

• General-purpose, not SaaS-specific, so quality varies and you vet for SaaS relevance yourself.
• Content is not included by default, so writing is an extra cost.
• The guarantee covers replacement of removed links, not indexation.
• Reported catalog size varies across sources, so treat any headline site count with caution.
• Per-link prices are not publicly fixed and special niches carry steep premiums.

Best for. SEOs and agencies who want a large, transparent, self-serve marketplace with fast delivery and broad cross-niche coverage, and who are fine doing their own vetting. Less ideal if you specifically want a pre-curated, SaaS-relevant catalog with an indexation guarantee.

LinkPublishers

What it is. A self-serve guest-post and link-insertion marketplace that also offers niche edits, digital PR, and content writing. General-purpose, spanning many niches including SaaS.

How you buy. Sign up as an advertiser, browse with per-listing prices shown up front, add to cart, and order from a wallet you top up. Guest posts commonly start in the low tens of dollars and scale with authority. Content can be yours or written in-house. Turnaround typically runs from about one to a few weeks. Rejected or cancelled orders refund to your wallet balance.

Honest pros.

• Large advertised catalog across many niches, so breadth is strong.
• Transparent per-listing pricing and a simple cart checkout, no sales calls.
• Low entry price, often in the low tens of dollars to start.
• In-house content writing available, plus a refund on rejected or cancelled orders.
• Generally positive public review sentiment.

Honest cons.

• General-purpose, so SaaS-relevant, real-traffic sites are a minority you filter for yourself.
• The advertised catalog size is a marketing headline that likely overstates the count of distinct active listings, so treat it with skepticism.
• No indexation guarantee; refunds cover rejected or unpublished orders, not links that publish and never index. Some reviewers cite occasional link-retention issues.
• Quality is buyer-beware at scale, and some reviewers report support delays.

Best for. Buyers who want volume and breadth at low per-link prices across many niches and are comfortable vetting the long tail themselves. A reasonable fit for generalist SEOs placing links across varied client niches. If you want source-dated traffic metrics and an indexed-or-refunded guarantee, a SaaS-focused option is more targeted.

Linksman

What it is. A self-serve marketplace where buyers browse verified publisher sites and order guest posts or link insertions directly. It markets to SaaS and agencies, but the catalog spans many general niches, so it is a general marketplace.

How you buy. Filter by DA, DR, traffic, niche, language, country, and price, then order per site. Each listing carries separate guest-post and link-insertion prices, typically in the mid-hundreds of dollars with some cheaper listings present. Payment is per order. Metrics pull from Moz, Ahrefs, and Semrush.

Honest pros.

• Transparent per-link pricing on every listing, with both guest-post and insertion prices and source metrics shown at a glance.
• Self-serve and fast, with delivery advertised in roughly a week.
• Sites are manually reviewed for real ownership, with a free-replacement guarantee if a link is removed.
• Reasonable breadth across many niches for a marketplace of its size.

Honest cons.

• Not SaaS-specific despite SaaS-friendly marketing, so you self-filter for relevance.
• The replacement guarantee covers removal, not indexation.
• Vetting is described as a manual ownership and quality check, but the criteria are not published as named gates.
• Reviews are limited, on low volume, so there is less independent track record than older marketplaces.
• The catalog is concentrated, with a small set of publishers owning many listings.

Best for. Buyers, including SaaS teams, who want a fast, self-serve, pay-per-link marketplace with transparent pricing and Moz/Ahrefs/Semrush metrics up front, and who are comfortable filtering for relevance themselves. A good fit if you value speed and price transparency over a curated SaaS-only catalog or an indexation guarantee.

Managed agencies

If you want to hand off strategy, prospecting, outreach, content, and placement, a managed agency does the work for you. Examples range from broad SEO shops that also serve SaaS (Sure Oak, OneLittleWeb) to founder-led SaaS-only specialists (SaaSLinkBuilder). The deliverable is usually a monthly batch of contextual editorial links within a target authority range, plus account management and reporting.

How you buy. Mostly monthly retainers priced as packages with a set link count, where the tier sets both your monthly spend and how many links you get. Broad SEO shops like OneLittleWeb and Sure Oak publish tiered monthly packages that typically start in the low-to-mid four figures a month for a handful of links and scale up to five-figure plans for higher volume, usually with a target DR range. SaaSLinkBuilder is the exception to the retainer norm: it runs a pay-per-link model billed for links actually delivered, with no upfront retainer. Confirm current package prices and link counts directly with any agency, since published tiers change.

Honest pros.

• Hands-off: the agency does prospecting, outreach, and content, so your team spends almost no internal time.
• Better at earning genuinely editorial and digital-PR-style links that a self-serve catalog usually cannot reach.
• Strategy and account management included, so links map to target pages and topic clusters rather than being bought one-off.
• Specialists like SaaSLinkBuilder bring SaaS-to-SaaS relevance, named founder accountability, and stated quality controls, including a link replace-or-refund guarantee.
• Retainers create consistent monthly link velocity, which compounds over time.

Honest cons.

• Expensive entry point: most retainer packages start in the low-to-mid four figures a month, which prices out early-stage SaaS.
• A retainer commits you to ongoing spend whether or not a given month's links are ideal; you buy a package, not specific listings.
• Less pre-purchase transparency: you get a DR range and link count, not a browsable list with per-site pricing and source-dated traffic.
• Broad agencies are not SaaS-only, so relevance depends on the brief.
• Indexation is rarely guaranteed; the common promise is link replacement, not indexation.

Best for. Funded or revenue-stage SaaS companies that want links fully handled, value editorial and digital-PR placements and a strategic content plan, and can commit to a low-to-mid four-figure monthly budget. If you want to control which exact sites you buy, see transparent per-link pricing, start small with no retainer, and get an indexation guarantee, a vetted marketplace fits better. Our marketplace vs agency comparison maps the trade-offs, and how to choose a link building agency covers vetting a shop if you go this route. If you run an agency yourself, our white-label link building option lets you resell vetted links under your own brand.

Gig and freelance marketplaces

Fiverr and Upwork

What it is. Open freelancer marketplaces where individual sellers list link-building services. You are hiring a person, not buying from a vetted, curated link inventory.

How you buy. On Fiverr, productized gigs with fixed tiers, ranging from a few dollars for an entry gig up to several hundred for agency-style packages, with mid-tier guest-post and monthly packages in between. On Upwork, contract-based: hourly (commonly in the low tens of dollars for entry sellers and higher for experienced specialists) or fixed per project or per link. Quality, sourcing, and metrics depend entirely on the individual seller.

Honest pros.

• Lowest entry cost of any option, with no minimum commitment; you can test a single gig for a few dollars to tens of dollars.
• Huge supply of sellers and fast turnaround.
• Platform-level buyer protections: escrow and milestone payments, ratings, and dispute processes (especially on Upwork).
• On Upwork you can vet a specific freelancer's profile and history and build an ongoing relationship.

Honest cons.

• No platform-level vetting of the actual link sites; quality varies enormously seller to seller, and many cheap packages rely on PBNs, spam, or automated tools that can trigger Google spam-policy issues or simply get devalued.
• Metrics are often self-reported, and links can vanish weeks later, so "permanent" and "indexed" claims from individual sellers are hard to trust.
• Not SaaS-specific; you brief, source, and check relevance yourself, and SaaS-relevant placements are scarce.
• Sourcing and QA burden falls on you, which raises the real cost of a "cheap" link.

Best for. Budget-conscious buyers and experimenters who want to test link building cheaply or need one-off tasks, and who have the SEO knowledge to vet sellers and audit every placement. On Upwork specifically, good for hiring and managing a vetted individual specialist over time. Less suitable if you want pre-vetted, real-traffic, SaaS-relevant inventory with transparent pricing and an indexation guarantee out of the box. Before you buy anything cheap, read is buying backlinks safe so you know what risk you are taking.

Pick by use case

• You want vetted, SaaS-relevant, real-traffic links with an indexation guarantee, bought per link with no retainer: Saaslinks. This is exactly what it is built for.
• You want maximum breadth and selection across many niches and countries, and will do your own vetting: Collaborator.pro or LinkPublishers for sheer catalog size; PressWhizz for fast, transparent per-link buying.
• You want a fast, transparent, pay-per-link marketplace and care about speed over curation: Linksman.
• You want the whole program handled and can commit four figures a month: a managed agency, with SaaSLinkBuilder if you want SaaS-only relevance and pay-for-delivered billing.
• You want to experiment cheaply or hire one specialist: Fiverr for one-off tests, Upwork for an ongoing freelancer you can vet.

There is real overlap. Many SaaS teams use a marketplace for the bulk of their per-link buying and an agency for occasional digital-PR pushes. Our breakdown of marketplace vs agency vs freelancer covers how to combine them.

Where to go from here
