Loganix vs Authority Builders
Both publish a starting price. What you can see before signing up is what actually differs.
Pick Loganix if you want self-serve filtering across a large, multi-niche site database and are comfortable creating a free account to see real per-site pricing. Pick Authority Builders if you want one managed team to run an ongoing monthly retainer with a blanket dofollow policy and a 365-day link guarantee.
Loganix
Vancouver-based productized SEO and link-building agency selling guest posts, niche edits, Authority Links and managed SEO/PPC/local-SEO packages through a self-serve, account-gated site marketplace.
Authority Builders
Managed link-building and digital PR agency selling guest-post links, high-authority placements and press-roundup retainers, with real per-site inventory gated behind a free account
Essentras
A per-outlet marketplace: each publication lists its own price, link policy and turnaround on a public page, and you buy one placement at a time.
Why Loganix and Authority Builders buyers end up looking at a third option
Neither model fits if you want to see the exact outlet, its price and its link policy before you commit to an account. Essentras publishes that detail per outlet in its own catalog, and also covers adjacent work, such as Wikipedia page creation and AI-visibility tracking, that neither Loganix nor Authority Builders sells. It is a smaller operation than either platform vendor, with no enterprise retainer or dedicated account manager, so a buyer wanting Authority Builders' managed monthly scale should stay with that model instead.
The outlet is named first
You pick the publication from the catalog and see its name before paying. You are not buying a Domain Rating band and finding out afterwards.
Link policy per listing
Each outlet states its own dofollow or nofollow policy and whether the piece carries a sponsored label. You check that before checkout, not after publication.
One placement is a valid order
No retainer, no minimum spend, no monthly term. Buy a single placement, and what you receive is a confirmed URL rather than a report.

The decision, in three lines
Pick Loganix if
Choose Loganix if you want to browse and filter a large, multi-niche site database yourself, placing repeat orders under one dashboard, and you are comfortable creating a free account to see real per-site pricing and metrics.
Pick Authority Builders if
Choose Authority Builders if you want one managed team to run an ongoing monthly link-building or digital PR program with a blanket dofollow policy and a 365-day link guarantee, and you do not need to pick individual outlets yourself.
Pick Essentras if
Neither model fits if you want to see the exact outlet, its price and its link policy before you commit to an account. Essentras publishes that detail per outlet in its own catalog, and also covers adjacent work, such as Wikipedia page creation and AI-visibility tracking, that neither Loganix nor Authority Builders sells. It is a smaller operation than either platform vendor, with no enterprise retainer or dedicated account manager, so a buyer wanting Authority Builders' managed monthly scale should stay with that model instead.
Where Loganix genuinely wins
A buyer running continuous, high-volume link building across many niches, an agency or in-house SEO team that wants to browse and filter a large (vendor-claimed 10,000+) multi-niche site database themselves, place repeat orders under one dashboard, and lean on a decade-plus operating history and a large positive public review base (114 Trustpilot reviews) as diligence, has a genuine reason to prefer Loganix's marketplace model and scale over a smaller, fixed-catalog marketplace like Essentras.
Where Authority Builders genuinely wins
Authority Builders genuinely wins for a buyer who wants one managed team to run an ongoing, multi-channel authority-building program -- links, press roundups and AI-visibility tracking together -- without having to pick individual outlets themselves, who values a blanket do-follow policy plus a 365-day link-replacement guarantee layered on top of every placement, or who needs monthly volume (8 to 32+ high-authority placements per month) at a scale that a per-outlet marketplace checkout isn't built to batch into one transaction.
Measured, not asserted
The numbers behind this page
Every comparison on this site rests on two things we recompute rather than claim: the live catalog of what we actually sell, and a running study of what answer engines actually say. Both are linked below so you can check them.
Corpus figures recomputed 5 October 2026. Catalog figures are live.
How we compared
Both sides were compared on the same 10 dimensions, using published list pricing read off each vendor's own site on 4 October 2026. Where a vendor publishes nothing, the cell says so rather than carrying an estimate.
- 01Is the specific publication named before payment, or only revealed after the piece is live?
- 02Is the full per-outlet price list public, or does it sit behind an account application?
- 03Is the dofollow or nofollow policy, and any sponsored label, stated per outlet before checkout?
- 04Can you buy a single placement, or does the published model require a retainer or minimum term?
- 05If the link is removed, what is the remedy, replacement, store credit or cash, and for how long?
Deliberately excluded. Features neither side documents publicly, and any claim that rests only on a single review or a vendor's own case study.
Essentras sells services in this category, so this page is not a neutral review. Every competitor figure is published list pricing you can check on the vendor's own site, and the case for choosing a competitor over us is stated on every entry rather than left out.
FAQ
Loganix vs Authority Builders, FAQ
Is Loganix or Authority Builders cheaper?▾
Loganix's guest-post tier starts at $200, with its Authority Links tier from $400. Authority Builders' guest-post links start at $160 each. All of these are published starting prices for the lowest tier, not the price of any specific outlet. The actual per-site price at either vendor is shown only after you create a free account at Loganix or apply for approval at Authority Builders, so the headline numbers are not directly comparable outlet to outlet.
Do I need an account to see pricing at either vendor?▾
Yes, at both. Loganix requires a free account at its marketplace portal before you can see real per-site price, domain rating and traffic for a specific outlet. Authority Builders masks its guest-post inventory and actual prices until you apply and are approved as a customer. Neither vendor publishes a full, outlet-by-outlet price list on its public pricing pages, only a single starting figure.
Which one guarantees the link stays live?▾
Both do, with different windows. Loganix states a 6-month live-link guarantee and replaces a rejected link with an equal or better opportunity at no extra cost. Authority Builders states a 365-day money-back-or-replacement guarantee if a placed link is removed within a year, roughly double the window Loganix publishes. Neither guarantee covers search rankings, only the link's survival.
Can I choose the exact outlet my link goes on?▾
At Loganix, yes: its marketplace lets you filter and pick specific sites by domain rating, traffic and niche once you have an account. At Authority Builders, that is only true for its individual guest posts. Its managed retainers, ABC Plus, ABC Platinum and Digital PR, have Authority Builders' own team choose the outlet and link mix each month, with no itemized outlet-level choice before placement.
What's the minimum contract length?▾
Loganix states no cancellation fees and no lock-in, run month-to-month, though payment is required before work begins. Authority Builders' Digital PR retainer carries a stated 3-month minimum campaign, its subscriptions auto-renew and require 15 days' written cancellation notice, and signed Statements of Work for its managed retainers are described as non-cancellable by the client.
Are the links dofollow?▾
Authority Builders states every guest-post link is dofollow, and that it does not sell nofollow links. Loganix treats dofollow versus nofollow as a per-site, filterable attribute inside its marketplace rather than one blanket rule, so you check or filter for it on each order. Neither page states a single policy that applies to every placement at Loganix.
Is there an alternative that shows exact outlet pricing without an account?▾
Not from either of these two. Both publish only a starting price and gate their real per-outlet inventory behind a free account or an approval process, so you cannot see a specific outlet's exact price before signing up. A catalog structured the other way, showing the publication, its price, its link policy and its turnaround before any account exists, such as Essentras's, is built for buyers who want to compare exact terms first.
