How it works
Rankchase is a matching platform for link exchanges and brand mentions between websites. It is run by USERQUEST LDA, a company in Lisbon, Portugal, and the site names its two co-founders, João and Tiago, and a remote team of five.
You add your website and Rankchase looks for other member sites in a related niche with a similar Domain Rating. For each match it shows the Domain Rating, traffic figures and a spam score of low, medium or high. You send a link exchange request from the dashboard, and the two site owners agree the details between themselves. The site says to expect several matches a week.
Rankchase does not place links. It introduces partners. The site describes direct exchanges between two matched sites and does not mention three-way swaps.
A link exchange is a swap of links between site owners. Our tactic page rates it R2 between a few relevant sites and R3 at volume, because Google’s link spam policy names excessive link exchanges.
Pricing
Rankchase had two tiers on 4 October 2026:
| Tier | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | Email notices that a match exists, with the website details hidden |
| Premium | $19 a month per website | Full match details and contact information |
Premium members can contact free members. The price is per website, so three sites cost $57 a month. There is no charge per link. We found no annual price, trial length or refund terms on the home page.
At this price the test is simple. If the matches in your niche are relevant and reply, one month tells you. If the pool in your niche is thin, cancel. The site does not publish the size of its pool, so you cannot know before you try.
Risk
This page rates the risk at R3, the top of the range for exchanges, because the product exists to produce swaps on a regular basis and the swaps it describes are direct. Used sparingly with relevant partners, the practical risk sits lower.
Keep it there with three habits:
- Swap only with sites you would link to anyway, and check each one with our guide on how to vet a publisher.
- Do not accept every match. The spam score and traffic data are there to help you refuse.
- Keep reciprocal links a small part of your profile, as our page on a natural link profile explains.
What public reviews say
The home page shows no rating, and we did not find a profile on an independent review platform that we could read. For a small product from a five-person team that is not unusual, but it means there is no outside evidence to report.

Bottom line
Rankchase is a small matching service for link exchanges. It pairs your site with others by niche and Domain Rating, and you arrange the swap yourself. Premium costs $19 a month per website, and the free tier hides the details of each match. It does not publish how many sites are in its pool.
