AI link suggestions for any website - no install needed

The short version
Link Whisper is a solid choice if you’re on WordPress and want links inserted directly from the editor.

You get AI-powered suggestions and export them to implement however suits your workflow — with a free tier to get started.

Where Link Whisper is stronger

- ○ Auto-linking rules that automatically add links as you publish new content
- ○ Orphaned page detection built into the dashboard
The bottom line
If you run a WordPress site and want links inserted directly from your editor without leaving the CMS, Link Whisper is well-suited for that workflow. It’s a mature plugin with a loyal user base for good reason.
Linki takes a different approach: it analyses your site from the outside and gives you AI-powered link suggestions that you then implement yourself. That means it works on any platform — WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, custom builds — but it won’t insert links into your CMS for you. The trade-off is flexibility: you can analyse any website without needing admin access or installing anything, which makes it particularly useful for agencies and consultants managing sites across different platforms.
Choose Linki if you work across multiple platforms or want to audit sites without needing CMS access. Choose Link Whisper if you’re all-in on WordPress and want direct in-editor link insertion.
