I’m tired of $100/mo SEO tools, so I built a pay-as-you-go alternative

Most SEO platforms have become bloated and overpriced. If you only need to monitor a couple of hundred backlinks or check indexation once a week, paying for a $99/mo subscription feels like a scam.

I built SeLinkPro to fix this. It’s a lean toolkit with a strict pay-as-you-go model. You pay fractions of a cent for exactly what you use.

Key Features:

• OBL Tracker: Detects link farms by monitoring outbound link growth on donor pages.

• Indexation Checks: Bulk verification for Google and Yandex.

• Backlink Health: Real-time alerts for anchor changes and status codes.

The Tech Stack: I went with a bit of an unconventional stack for 2026: MODX CMS (PHP/MySQL) for the core and Python for the high-performance crawling engine. It’s fast, stable, and allowed me to launch as a solo founder without a massive team.

Proxies and APIs cost money, so there are no massive free tiers or promo codes. But upon registration, you automatically get 5 free domain metric checks and 5 free indexation checks to test the system.

I’d love to hear your thoughts.
