iCopify is a self-serve guest post marketplace registered in the United Kingdom and launched in 2021. In October 2026 its own pages list 102,726+ websites, 34,395+ active publishers and guest posts from $4.99, with most posts published within 2 to 5 days. You top up a wallet first (a $25 minimum is the figure reviews report), filter sites by DR, DA, traffic and niche, and order from the publisher you pick. Every price is set by that publisher, so the same site can cost one amount on iCopify and a different amount on another marketplace, and the posts live on sites iCopify does not own.
That model is genuinely good at one thing: cheap, wide choice. If you want ten DR 20 guest posts for under $100 in total, nothing we sell competes, and the table below says so. The trouble starts when the link matters. A 2026 review reports a Trustpilot score around 3.2 and complaints that cluster after publication, when a post is pulled, set to noindex or edited once the retention window ends, and escrow only protects the delivery, not the months after it. BacklinkPlace publishes on portals we own and staff, at $161 to $199 per placement depending on plan, and you read the exact portal, its DR and its Google Analytics traffic before ordering. Nobody outside our team can remove the page later. See how it works on sponsored articles or browse hosts on our backlink marketplace.
Side by side
BacklinkPlace vs iCopify.
Feature
BacklinkPlace
iCopify
Business model
A publisher network we own, staff and publish on ourselves. One party answers for the host, the article and the link.
A self-serve marketplace that connects buyers with independent publishers and holds the payment in escrow until the post goes live.
Price per placement
$161 to $199 on a monthly plan: Starter $199 for 1, Growth $499 for 3, Scale $1,290 for 8. See pricing.
From $4.99 per guest post, rising with DR, traffic and topic; each publisher sets its own rate. Far cheaper than us at the low end.
Paying
A monthly plan by card, cancel any time. No wallet to pre-fund.
A pre-funded wallet you top up before ordering; reviews report a $25 minimum. No contracts and no monthly fee.
Can you approve the host first
Yes. You see the exact portal, its DR and its live traffic before paying.
Yes. Listings show the full URL and you choose the site yourself. Both models give you the host up front.
Who owns the site
We do. The portal, the editors and the publishing schedule are ours.
An independent webmaster for every listing. iCopify runs the marketplace, not the sites.
Turnaround
About a week from order to live link.
Most posts within 2 to 5 days by its own page, a 48 hour average, varying by publisher.
If the link disappears
The portal is ours, so no outside webmaster can pull, noindex or edit the page later.
Escrow refunds you if a publisher fails to deliver. After the retention window the publisher can remove or noindex the post, and reviews say disputes at that stage are slow.
Content writing
Our editors write the article or the insertion and publish it with a sponsored disclosure.
You can supply your own article or buy writing, which reviews price from a few dollars per 500 words.
Inventory
Our own portals, listed on our publisher list. Far fewer hosts, all run by us.
102,726+ websites across 150+ countries. They win clearly on choice and on languages.
Restricted niches
Depends on each publisher; filter by niche and read each listing before you order.
Who it suits
US teams and agencies that need a link on a money page or a client site to still be there in a year, from one accountable publisher.
Hands-on SEOs who want the lowest price per post, a huge catalog and international sites, and who will check every listing themselves.

FAQ
Switching questions.
It depends on what you want to fix. If the problem is posts that vanish after a few months, an owned network at $161 to $199 a placement removes the outside webmaster entirely. If you want another self-serve marketplace, compare Adsy and Collaborator. If you want a managed vendor with a fixed DR price card, look at FATJOE.
iCopify guest posts start at $4.99 on its own buy page in October 2026, and the price climbs with the site DR, traffic and topic because each publisher sets its own rate. You pay from a wallet you fund in advance, with reviews reporting a $25 minimum top-up. There is no monthly fee and no contract.
Yes, it is a working marketplace registered in the UK, with escrow that refunds you if a publisher never delivers. The weak point is after delivery: a 2026 review reports a Trustpilot score around 3.2, with complaints about posts removed or noindexed once the retention window ends and slow help with those disputes.
iCopify says most guest posts are published within 2 to 5 days, with a 48 hour average, but the real time depends on the publisher you order from. Our placements on owned portals go live in about a week, on a schedule our own editors control.
Yes, by a wide margin at the low end: a $4.99 to $25 guest post against our $161 to $199. What the extra money buys is the host itself. You approve a portal we own, its traffic is shown from Google Analytics, and no third party can take the page down after the escrow period.
Because the marketplace does not own the sites. Once the minimum retention window passes, an independent publisher can delete the post, set it to noindex or sell the domain, and the escrow has already been released. On a network the vendor owns, that failure mode does not exist. See are backlink marketplaces safe.
Only where an individual publisher accepts the topic, which you check listing by listing. If you work in gambling, cannabis or finance, our casino link building and cannabis link building pages list portals that accept those topics, with the host shown before you pay.
