Pricing
SaaS Link Building Pricing
Pay only for the authority we earn. Pay-per-delivery pricing scoped to your category and goals. No upfront retainer, no lock-in, lost links replaced.
You pay only for links we deliver
There are no retainers, packages or lock-in. We scope each engagement to your category and goals, and you pay for the placements we earn. Effort that doesn’t land costs you nothing.
You’re billed only for links that are placed and live. Nothing is charged upfront or for attempts.
No contracts or minimums. Continue while it is working, and pause whenever you need to.
We track every placement and replace any link that drops.
What your quote depends on
- The relevance and authority of the sites your category needs. A hard-to-earn niche placement costs more than an easy one.
- The mix of work. Guest posting, niche edits, digital PR, brand mentions and listicle placements each take different effort.
- Your target volume: how many quality placements you want live each month.
- How competitive your category is and which pages you’re building authority to.
What engagements typically cost
We bill per delivered placement, so there is no package price. In practice budget tracks company stage. These are the productive ranges from our own benchmark work.
$500K–$2M ARR. Productized vendor tier. Enough to establish a baseline, though not enough to compete.
$2M–$10M ARR. The productive minimum for strategy, AEO groundwork and real acquisition together.
$10M–$25M ARR. Full managed program, tier-one PR and a measurement cadence worth optimising.
Mature, competitive categories where incumbents are already outspending you.
- Median B2B SaaS spend in 2026 is $8,400/month.
- Below roughly $3,000/month the work does not build up enough to move organic as a channel. If that is where you are, we will say so.
- Pre-seed and early Seed: we would usually tell you not to buy links yet. Founder time on Reddit, Quora and your own blog returns more.

We work on a pay-per-delivery model: you pay only for links we successfully earn and place. No upfront retainer, no packages, and no long contract. Every engagement is scoped to your category and goals, and you only pay for placements that go live. Here’s how the model works, what shapes your price, and answers to the questions founders ask before they book a call.
How pay-per-delivery works
Instead of a fixed monthly retainer, you’re billed only for the relevant, editorially-earned links we deliver. We scope the work with you first (your category, target pages, and the mix of methods that fit) then agree clear per-placement pricing before anything starts. If a placement doesn’t land, you don’t pay for it. It puts the risk on us, not you.
Pay-per-delivery doesn’t mean commodity links. Every placement still clears our relevance and editorial bar, and strategy, content, outreach, and quality control are part of the work. You’re paying for authority that moves rankings and pipeline. You can explore what each method does on our SaaS link building services page.
What shapes your price
Because you pay per delivered placement, a few factors determine what each one costs. Being clear about them up front is more useful than a single published number.
- Relevance and authority of the sites. A hard-to-earn placement on a trusted, on-topic publication costs more than an easy one, and is worth far more.
- The method mix. Digital PR, guest posting, brand mentions, niche edits, and listicle placements each carry different effort.
- Volume and velocity: How many quality placements you want live each month shapes the overall investment.
- Category competitiveness: Crowded categories with well-funded incumbents require stronger assets and deeper relationships to earn relevant authority.
How pay-per-delivery compares to the alternatives
Paying only for delivered links produces different outcomes than the two common alternatives. The table below shows why it tends to win for SaaS brands building durable authority.
| Dimension | Cheap link marketplace | Our pay-per-delivery model | In-house hire |
|---|---|---|---|
| What you pay for | Any link, by the unit | Only relevant links we earn & deliver | Salary, tools, and ramp time |
| When you pay | Upfront, quality varies | After delivery: and drops are replaced | Fixed cost regardless of output |
| Strategy & assets | Usually not included | Included in every engagement | You build the function |
| Incentive | Volume of placements | Relevance, rankings, and pipeline | Depends on the hire |
| Commitment | Varies | Month-to-month, no lock-in | Permanent headcount |
| Best for | Quick cheap volume | Durable category authority | Large teams scaling in-house |
Frequently asked questions
How much does SaaS link building cost?
You pay per delivered link, so there’s no single package price. The cost of each placement depends on the relevance, authority, and difficulty of the sites your category needs. We confirm clear per-placement pricing after a short discovery call and audit, so you only ever pay for work your goals require.
Do you charge per link?
Yes. But not per cheap link. You pay only for placements we successfully deliver, and every one has to clear our relevance and editorial bar. That’s different from a commodity marketplace: you’re not buying volume, you’re paying for earned, brand-safe authority, after it goes live, not before.
Is there an upfront retainer or minimum commitment?
No. There’s no upfront retainer and no minimum term. We work month-to-month. Authority builds slowly, so most brands stay for the results, but you’re never locked into a contract and can pause whenever you need to.
What happens if a link is removed?
We monitor your placements on an ongoing basis, and if a link we built drops off, we replace it. The authority you paid for stays live. You’re not left paying for links that disappear a month later.
What’s the cheapest option?
If your only goal is the lowest possible price per link, we’re honestly not the right fit. Our model is built for SaaS brands that want relevant, durable authority. The most cost-effective path with us is a focused program aimed at your highest-value, winnable pages.
How do I know it’s worth the investment?
We measure against outcomes that affect revenue (rankings on priority pages, AI-answer citations, relevant referring domains, and pipeline contribution) not link counts. Reporting ties the work to those metrics so you can judge it like any growth channel. Book a call for a scoped quote.
