Loganix versus a list you can see without asking
Loganix sits at the premium, managed end of this market and is closer to a consultancy than a shop. They run a large database you can filter and an expert-selected service where their team chooses for you. The comparison is mostly about how much of the decision you want to keep.
How Loganix actually works
Two routes. Shop The List gives you a database of more than 60,000 sites to filter by domain rating, traffic, niche and price — much the same shape as any marketplace. Expert-Selected hands the choosing to their team, who curate against your targets.
Prices start around $190 to $200 per link, with specialist services considerably higher — HARO-style placements begin near $850. Some of their work is quoted rather than listed, which means a consultation before you see a number.
It is worth being straight that sources disagree here. Some reviews list per-link prices publicly; others report that pricing requires a call. We have not been through their sales process, so treat the figures below as reported rather than verified, and confirm them directly before making a decision on them.
Where Loganix is genuinely better
The expert-selected route is a real service and we do not offer an equivalent. Handing a campaign to people who will choose the sites, manage the sequencing and think about the profile as a whole is worth paying for when nobody on your team has the time or the experience. Our model assumes you want to choose.
Their database is around 150 times the size of our list. As with any large catalogue, that means availability in niches and territories where we simply have nothing.
They also reach into services we do not touch at all — digital PR and HARO-style placements are a genuinely different discipline with different relationships behind them, and if that is what a client needs then we are the wrong supplier.
And for an agency that wants a strategic partner rather than a supplier, the consultative model is the point rather than an obstacle. Some people want to be asked questions before they are sold something.
Where the difference favours us
You can see everything without asking anyone. Every site, every price, no account, no call. Where Loganix quotes rather than lists, comparing them against anyone requires you to enter a sales process first — which is the friction this whole business was set up to remove.
Our floor is lower and our range is wider. Their reported entry sits near $190 to $200; our lowest listed site is $50 and our median is $203. If your work sits at the lower end of the market, the difference per placement is substantial across a campaign.
There is no minimum. Buying one placement from us is an ordinary order, which matters for a small client or a first trial. Premium managed suppliers generally expect a commitment, and reviews of Loganix note minimum order requirements.
And the vetting is published rather than described. Every supplier says their sites are curated; ours is seven checks you can run yourself on any domain, free, including on sites you are considering buying from them.

Loganix figures are as reported by third-party reviews and their sources disagree on whether per-link pricing is public. We have not been through their sales process and are not going to state as fact something we have not seen.
Who each one actually suits
Pick Loganix if
- You want experts to choose and manage the campaign rather than doing it yourself.
- You need digital PR or HARO placements, which we do not sell.
- You are running large budgets where a strategic partner earns their margin.
- You would rather have a conversation than a catalogue.
Pick us if
- You want to see prices without entering a sales process.
- You buy in small volumes, or want to place a single link.
- Your budget sits at the lower end, where a $50 floor matters.
- You want to check the vetting yourself rather than take it on trust.
So which one
These are different products more than they are competitors. Loganix sells judgement and management; we sell access and transparency. If you want somebody to own the campaign, that is a real service and we do not provide it.
The practical dividing line is whether you want to talk to someone. If a call before a price is a reasonable cost of a considered service, Loganix is a serious supplier. If it is the thing that made you search for an alternative, that is exactly what our published list exists to avoid.
One caution that applies to us as much as to them: we have not been through their sales process, so verify any figure here directly before deciding on it.
The usual questions
The other comparison
FATJOE versus buying the sites yourself
FATJOE is the most widely used link supplier in the agency market, and the comparison comes down to one structural difference: they sell you a metric, we sell you a named site. Both are legitimate. They suit different people, and the honest answer depends on how much you want to be involved.
Adsy versus a list somebody already vetted
Adsy is the closest thing to us in the market and by far the hardest comparison to write honestly, because we are the same shape: a marketplace, publishers named, prices published, you choose. The difference is scale and who checked the sites — and on scale they win outright.
The HOTH versus choosing your own publishers
The HOTH is one of the most recognised names in white label SEO and is usually where an agency starts. The model is a productised menu: fixed products at fixed prices, ordered like items in a shop. Ours is a list of named sites at individual prices. Both work; they suit different temperaments.
Hiring in-house versus outsourcing link building
Whether to hire someone or buy the capacity is mostly a question about how many clients you have and how predictable they are. Here is the arithmetic, including the part where hiring wins.
Outreach tools versus buying placements
Outreach tools cost a hundred or two a month against hundreds per placement. That gap is real and worth understanding properly rather than dismissing.
