I've used LinkWhisper for almost 2 years. I have several affiliate websites so it worked out well.
However...
Using the product made me realize there's a lot of stuff missing.
Link suggestions are limited and it is not based on artificial intelligence, which they claim.
They mostly work based on your title words, or if you add custom keywords, it will try to scrape your site for those words and provide you links.
For bare minimum internal linking, it is sufficient. I was an early adopter, so I'm paying a little less than what it is being offered today.
I am paying $137 for 10 site license and its currently $167. So, not sure if they are going to increase the price even more.
And that is why I'm working on an internal link plugin called Linkilo :

The focus was to provide better link suggestions based on several criteria:
- identifying other articles related to the post you want to link. Not just based on the title tag or custom keywords.
- Lots of filter based options and provide flexibility to find more links.
- Reporting, I'm developing a feature where, if you accidentally link two different articles with the same keyword, it will show you, and more reports to make better decisions.
I'm working on the initial feature build-out for the beta launch and releasing lifetime access for early adopters. It's more for finding all the bugs, customer feedback, etc.
Honestly, I do like linkwhisper, but not sure if they are going to add more features. That is why I wanted to create my own, use it for myself, provide others with the tool, learn from users and see what other features should be included.
