Looking for an Authority Builders alternative?
Authority Builders suits buyers who want to order guest posts one at a time, from $160 a link, with a traffic floor and a 365-day guarantee. BuyLinks.ai suits buyers who want a monthly plan where every site is named and explained before purchase, articles are written for them and AI visibility is tracked each month.

When Authority Builders is the better choice
- You want to buy links one at a time. Authority Builders has no subscription for guest posts. Our plans are monthly, so we’re not ideal if you want one link.
- You want a stated traffic floor with a refund. Authority Builders promises 1,000+ monthly visitors from linking domains and refunds you, letting you keep the post, if a site falls short.
- You want a refund option on removed links. Its 365-day guarantee offers a replacement or a refund. Ours replaces links.
- You like browsing inventory yourself. If you’re an experienced buyer who wants to pick from a catalogue, its model suits you. We don’t run a self-serve marketplace.
- You want a sign-up credit. New accounts get a $30 credit, according to Ecommerce Paradise.
When BuyLinks fits better
- You want to see the actual domains from day one. Authority Builders blocks site URLs for new users. We show every domain, its grade and our written reason on your first list, and you approve before we buy.
- You don’t want to manage the campaign. Keyword research, site selection and writing are part of every plan, starting at $199 rather than a managed budget.
- You want AI answers tracked. Each month we ask ChatGPT, Google AI, Perplexity and Gemini 25+ questions your customers ask and report whether you appear.
- You want indexing covered. A placement not indexed by Google within 30 days is replaced.
- You want to cancel on your own. Cancel any month in PayPal.

Common questions
Is BuyLinks.ai cheaper than Authority Builders?
On the published starting prices, our Starter plan works out to $99.50 per placement ($199 for 2 on B/C-grade sites), and Authority Builders’ guest posts start at $160. But we grade sites differently, our plans are monthly, and you can’t buy a single link from us. Compare the actual sites on each list.
Can I see the sites before I pay?
Yes. Every site on your list is named, graded and explained. Nothing is bought until you approve it.
Whose guarantee is better?
They’re close. Both cover removed links for a year. Authority Builders adds a traffic-floor refund; we add monthly checks and replace placements not indexed within 30 days.
Do you promise rankings?
No. Nobody honest can. We promise the work, the checks and a monthly report.
