02The comparison
From 38.6% against the whole market to 100% against active marketplaces
Both steps compare final order prices: GetReach's domain-specific service fee and article creation are included, and each LinkFinder marketplace value includes that platform's fee and lowest available content price. Step two narrows the field after our checks found older prices elsewhere.
Step 1 · All 35 platforms
38.6%
held or shared the lowest final price across 35 marketplaces
175,422 comparable domains · service fees and content included · market rank #1.
Price check
Unusually low listings were tested with publishers.
Several no longer matched current publisher prices. They clustered on less active or narrowly regional marketplaces.
Step 2 · Active comparison field
100%
lower final price against Bazoom, LinkBroker, MeUp and Backlinked
157,330 shared domains. Same rule, current marketplaces.
Step 1
GetReach ranks #1 across all 35 marketplaces
Across 175,422 comparable domains, GetReach held the lowest final price on 38.6%. That puts GetReach in first place; second place reaches 13.7%. GetReach's service fee and article creation are included, while the LinkFinder marketplace prices include the applicable platform fee and lowest available content price.
Why this is not our headline comparison
Because GetReach passes publisher prices through without a percentage markup, 38.6% did not match what we expected. In spot checks with publishers, several unusually low marketplace listings no longer matched the current publisher price and appeared to be outdated. We therefore use the active comparison field for our headline result.

iGetReach leads at 38.6%; second place reaches 13.7%. Every provider uses the same 175,422-domain denominator and the same final-price basis, including service fees and content.
Step 2
GetReach against the marketplaces most likely to hold current prices
The expanded comparison field contains Bazoom, LinkBroker, MeUp and Backlinked. LinkFinder returned comparable GetReach overlaps for all four platforms. This cannot prove that every individual offer is current, but it materially reduces the risk that long-unupdated listings distort the comparison.

One market view, based on providers’ own public claims.
Definitions differ by provider and the figures are self-reported rather than audited by LinkFinder. Values marked “+” are shown at the disclosed minimum, so the actual portfolio may be larger. The full list contains GetReach plus all 35 marketplaces in the LinkFinder source universe.
All figures were checked on the providers' own websites. Competitor sites are intentionally not linked.

How the 2026 report was built
A fixed annual edition makes every number reviewable. Future editions will use the same definitions or call out every change.
Price basis
Final order price on both sides
The headline comparisons already include the cost of content and the applicable marketplace fee.
GetReach final price
Publisher price + domain-specific service fee
Article creation is included. There is no percentage markup on the publisher price.
LinkFinder marketplace price
Marketplace fee + cheapest content option
For every domain, we use the final comparison price represented in the licensed LinkFinder data.
What this makes comparable: the final price to order the same domain. Link attributes, placement duration and other delivery terms are not normalized by LinkFinder and remain a separate limitation.
Step 01
Freeze the portfolio
All 190,632 active, bookable GetReach domains were captured on 1 September 2026.
Step 02
Match exact domains
Canonical root domains were matched through LinkFinder. Similar names and redirects were not treated as matches.
Step 03
Compare final prices
GetReach's final price, including its domain-specific service fee and article creation, was compared with LinkFinder's normalized marketplace price, including the marketplace fee and lowest available content price. Aggregate totals are displayed in USD.
Step 04
Share tied wins
Cheaper-or-equal counts every tie. Price-leader share divides a tied minimum equally between its providers.
Limits

Read the numbers with these five boundaries in mind. They apply to every chart on this page.

Source and independence
GetReach performed the analysis and is a participant in the comparison. LinkFinder and the named marketplaces are not affiliated with GetReach.
