Two domains in. The gap out.
Enter your domain and a competitor's. About 20 seconds. Free, no signup, and the result is a public page you can share.
A verdict, three bars, and the first ten rows. Free.
1Two domains in
We pull both backlink profiles from the Linkos index — our own crawl, refreshed continuously, not a stale export.
2Gap out, ranked
Sites linking to them and not you, scored by Linkos Rank, topical relevance, and how the link was earned: submission form, listicle, review, or mention.
3A page, not a PDF
Every comparison lives at a public URL. Share it with your team, your agency, or your competitor's marketing lead if you're feeling bold.
We crawl it first. About two minutes.
If either domain is new to the index, we queue a priority crawl and open the page as soon as its backlinks are in. Leave an email and we send you the link. Anonymous visitors get 2 priority crawls a day.

live domains with at least one verified link, last crawl 61 minutes ago. A domain that isn't in yet is queued the moment you ask for it.
Before you press the button
Do I need an account?
No. Run as many comparisons as you like without one. An account is created only if you unlock a list, and it's a magic link — no password.
Which domain goes where?
Yours on the left, the competitor's on the right. Blue is you, orange is them, everywhere on the site. "Swap sides" on the result page runs it the other way round.
Is the result page public?
Yes. Every comparison lives at theylink.app/{a}-vs-{b}, and anyone with the link can see the free part: the number, three bars and the first 10 rows. The full list is only visible to whoever unlocked it.
What if a domain isn't in the index yet?
We crawl it first — about two minutes — and open the page when it's ready. Anonymous visitors can request 2 priority crawls a day, accounts 10.
How fresh are the numbers?
Every count shows when it was last checked. A pair is cached for 24 hours; after that a re-run recomputes it from the latest crawl.
What is "LR"?
Linkos Rank, 0–100, from referring domains in our own index. It's our metric — comparable across our pages, not interchangeable with Domain Rating or Domain Authority.
Find out how far behind you are. It's a number, and it's free.
Then decide if you want the list.
