The Competitor Backlink Analysis preset returns up to 100 domains linking to trello.com (its limit setting), ranked by domain rank, with backlink count, spam score and first-seen date. It needs a paid Apify plan.
The Backlink Checker lists them in referring_domains mode on a paid plan: enter the rival's domain and a limit from 1 to 1000. The list is ranked by domain rank, and no access to the competitor's site is needed.
The Competitor Backlink Analysis preset bills one referring-domains-report event per domain, flat whatever the limit: $0.18 on paid plans, plus a $0.005 actor-start fee per run on every plan. The report fee fires after delivery.
The Backlink Checker's competitor_gap mode lists domains that link to up to 10 competitors but not to you, each with rank and the rivals it links to. It costs $0.225 per domain on paid plans, plus a $0.005 actor-start fee per run on every plan.
Backlink Checker's referring_domains mode lists who links to you. Monitor mode, on paid plans, bills $0.09 per watched domain per run only if it changed; the first run is a $0.0135 baseline. Plus a $0.005 actor-start fee per run on every plan.
The Backlink Checker's dataset can go straight to an LLM, or the actor can run as an MCP tool from Claude, Cursor or ChatGPT, to group prospects, drop spammy domains and draft outreach angles.
The Competitor Backlink Analysis preset runs through the Apify API, including run-sync-get-dataset-items for one request, or the official JS and Python clients, and exports as JSON, CSV or Excel.
