Moz's backlink API on its Free plan. It costs $0.00 per 1,000 backlinks. It returns 2 of the 5 key fields we check: Source URL, Anchor text.
We rank 37 plans by price. [RankParse's $199 pack](https://datacircle.dev/backlink-apis/rankparse/199-pack-lifetime-deal-get-v1-backlinks/llms.txt) costs the least per 1,000 backlinks: $0.004. RankParse charges for each page of results. We count 1,000 backlinks on each page to get the $0.004 price.
