One difference matters more than the rest of the table.
How InLinks works
InLinks builds links from the entities each page is about, “so anchor text is varied”, and inserts them into body text automatically1. They are delivered by a JavaScript tag that injects links and schema into the live page, or by InLinks Sync, a WordPress plugin from a third party that applies them as the page renders2,3,4. You can also export links and add them by hand1. Content briefs, an optimiser, AI writing and topic planning come with it, and every plan includes unlimited projects1,5.
How Silotree works
Silotree reads your WordPress archive, groups posts by meaning, works out which page leads each topic, and suggests links from posts you already wrote, ranked by the clicks each should earn. Approved links are written into the post as plain HTML — words already in the sentence, wrapped in a link — with a revision saved first and an undo for every batch.

Silotree is the better fit if…
- you want links that stay in your posts if you cancel
- your site is over a few hundred pages and you want a flat price
- you want orphans, broken links and click depth in the same report
- you want each link reviewed in its sentence before it exists
Silotree and InLinks, row by row
Shaded rows are where InLinks is stronger.Numbers link to the source for each claim about InLinks.
| What it does | InLinks | Silotree |
|---|---|---|
| How it decides what to link | Entities from its knowledge graph1 | Meaning, topics and lead pages, ranked by expected clicks |
| Automatic schema markup | Yes1Stronger | No |
| Content briefs and optimiser | Yes1Stronger | Briefs for topics with no page (Studio) |
| Where links are stored | Injected as the page loads, by tag or Sync plugin2,6 | Written into the post as plain HTML |
| Links stay if you cancel | No — InLinks provides a spreadsheet to re-add them by hand7 | Yes |
| Works beyond WordPress | Yes, via a JavaScript tag on the live site2Stronger | Audit reads any site; writes into WordPress only |
| Pricing basis | Pages, as monthly credits that expire8 | Sites, with no credits |
| Orphans and broken links | Not documented | Yes, free and complete |
| Search Console in the ranking | Not documented | Yes |
| Free tier | Internal linking for 25 pages1 | Full audit and your first 10 links written free |
The yearly bill for 1, 5 and 25 sites.
| Sites | InLinks | Silotree |
|---|---|---|
| 1 site | $190 a year, or $19 a monthSolo (up to 1 site) | |
| 5 sites | $490 a year, or $49 a monthStudio (up to 5 sites) | |
| 25 sites | $1,290 a year, or $129 a monthAgency (up to 25 sites) |
InLinks is priced by pages, not sites: each $49-a-month level adds pages, and every plan includes unlimited projects1,5. Monthly credits are spent adding pages, audits and briefs, and unused ones expire8. Refunds are at InLinks’ discretion and, per its FAQ, usually not possible7,9. We found no annual pricing. For any site above a couple of hundred pages, Silotree costs far less.
Silotree’s figures are list prices in US dollars with no credits or per-link charges; the free plan audits any site and writes your first 10 links. Every plan, limit and the money-back guarantee is on the Silotree pricing page.
If any of these describe you, we would rather say so than take your money.
You want schema written for you
InLinks adds JSON-LD schema from its entity graph alongside the links1,6. Silotree adds no schema at all.
You want briefs, an optimiser and linking in one platform
If you are buying a content suite anyway, InLinks covers research, briefs and linking together1.
Your site is very small
InLinks links up to 25 pages free, and 100 pages for $49 a month1. Silotree’s paid plans start at $19 a month for one site.
What happens to your links, step by step.
InLinks’ links are applied as the page loads and are never written into your posts. To keep them after cancelling, InLinks gives you a spreadsheet of the links to re-add by hand, and schema has to be copied from the dashboard7.
- Ask InLinks for the spreadsheet of your links before you cancel, and copy any schema you want to keep from the dashboard7.
- Switch InLinks’ links off with its global switch2, then run Silotree’s free audit to see which pages lose their links.
- Work through Silotree’s ranked suggestions for those pages; each approved link is written into the post and stays.
- Remove the InLinks tag or Sync plugin once Silotree’s batch is written.
Before you decide
Is Silotree an InLinks alternative?
For internal linking on WordPress, yes. If you also want entity schema and content briefs, InLinks covers more ground. If you want links that live in your posts and stay when you cancel, Silotree is built for that.
Are entity-based links better than meaning-based ones?
They are a different route to the same goal: linking pages that are about the same thing. What matters more is whether the link sits in a sentence a reader would click, and whether the page it points to is the one that should rank. Silotree checks the second against your Search Console data.
Can Silotree’s changes be undone?
Every change is one phrase already in your sentence, wrapped in a link. A revision is saved before each edit, the post is read back to confirm the link landed, and any batch can be reversed from inside WordPress.
Linkbot and LinkStorm also place links with a script — compare Silotree vs Linkbot and Silotree vs LinkStorm. InLinks is priced next to seven others in the LinkBoss alternatives, and the internal linking strategy guide covers topic hubs without any tool.
