Looking for a FatJoe alternative?
FatJoe is a good fit if you want to buy individual links by DR tier and have them placed for you, with a lifetime link guarantee. BuyLinks.ai fits better if you want a monthly link-building manager that shows you every site before buying, writes the articles and tracks whether AI assistants mention you.

When FatJoe is the better choice
- You want one or two links, not a plan. FatJoe sells single links from $72. Our plans are monthly subscriptions, so we’re not the right buy for one cheap link.
- You want a lifetime guarantee. FatJoe’s link guarantee is lifetime. Ours covers 12 months.
- You’re an agency reselling links. FatJoe offers unbranded CSV exports and an example white-label report, and has 474 Trustpilot reviews averaging 4.8.
- You want to order by DR tier. FatJoe’s price ladder is published and simple to compare.
- You want a long track record. We’re new and don’t have client case studies yet.
When BuyLinks fits better
- You want to see the sites before you pay for them. Every month starts with a site list showing each publisher, its grade and why we picked it. Nothing is bought until you approve.
- You want someone to decide what to build. Keyword research and a plan come with every subscription, so you don’t have to choose anchors and tiers yourself.
- You care about AI answers as well as Google. Each month we ask ChatGPT, Google AI, Perplexity and Gemini 25+ questions your customers ask and report whether you’re mentioned.
- You want indexing covered. If a placement isn’t indexed by Google within 30 days, we replace it.
- You don’t want to share site access. We never need a login to your website.
Our database covers 199,791 publishers and 682,809 offers. About 1 in 7 sites pass our checks.

FatJoe’s: it offers a lifetime link guarantee. We check and replace for 12 months, and we also replace placements that aren’t indexed within 30 days.
