RankmyBlog vs Outrank

When Outrank is the better fitPick Outrank if you already run WordPress, Webflow or Shopify and want backlinks bundled in.
Pick RankmyBlog if you want the blog hosted for you, a free plan, and a lower monthly bill.

What Outrank does well
If any of these matter most to you, Outrank is worth a serious look.
Outrank places your links inside articles on other sites in its network, on the same plan. Our partner links are an opt-in beta and deliberately sparse, so if link volume is the goal, Outrank does more.
WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, Framer, Wix, Notion and Ghost are all covered, plus webhooks and an API.
Good fit if you publish in several markets at once.
Why teams choose RankmyBlog instead
We host the blog ourselves. Put it on yourdomain.com/blogs with one rewrite, or use the free rankmy.blog address. There's no WordPress to maintain and no plugin to break.
Before writing, each post is researched on the live web, and key numbers are confirmed on the cited page. Posts carry footnotes and a sources list, so readers and AI assistants can check every figure.
3 posts every month on the free plan, with no card and no watermark. It's enough to see whether the writing fits your brand before you pay anything.
Pro is $49 a month for 30 posts. No credits, word counts or model multipliers to decode.
- Partner backlinks are an opt-in beta, limited to closely related customer blogs on their own domains. We don't buy or sell links.
- No push to WordPress, Webflow or Shopify. We host the blog instead.
- The /blogs subfolder works on Vercel (native rewrite) and any other site via a free Cloudflare Worker.

Common questions
Is RankmyBlog cheaper than Outrank?
Yes. Both give you 30 posts a month on the main plan: Outrank charges $99 and our Pro plan is $49. We also have a free plan with 3 posts a month.
Does RankmyBlog build backlinks like Outrank?
Partly. Every post gets automatic internal links, and there is an opt-in partner network (beta) that adds at most one contextual link between closely related customer blogs. Outrank's exchange places more links, which is a real advantage if link volume is what you want.
Can I use RankmyBlog with WordPress?
Not as a WordPress plugin. We host the blog ourselves and serve it on yourdomain.com/blogs, so it sits alongside your main site without touching it.
