This review is based on SEO PowerSuite’s public pages and third-party ratings, checked on 4 October 2026. The rating out of 10 is the editor’s own judgement. The focus is on SEO SpyGlass, the backlink tool, not the full suite.
Backlink data
SEO PowerSuite is a set of four desktop programs: Rank Tracker, WebSite Auditor, SEO SpyGlass and LinkAssistant. SEO SpyGlass is the backlink checker. It runs on Windows, macOS and Linux and pulls link data from the vendor’s own index, which the pricing page gives as 6.5 trillion backlinks. That is the vendor’s figure.
For each link the tool shows the nofollow or dofollow attribute, link type, anchor text and HTTP status code. Its own authority metrics are InLink Rank for a page and Domain InLink Rank for a domain. These are not the DR or DA figures most sellers quote, so keep a second source for checking a seller’s claims.
You can connect Google Search Console and Google Analytics, or import a CSV, to add links the index has missed. The tool also keeps historical data, so you can see how a profile changed over time. Our guide on how to check backlinks explains why combining sources gives a fuller picture.
Audits and competitor research
Penalty Risk is the feature that sets SEO SpyGlass apart on its own page. It scores each link for signs of toxicity, which gives you a shortlist to review by hand. A score is a starting point, not a verdict. Read our lessons on backlink audits and toxic links and how to disavow backlinks before you remove anything.
For prospecting, the tool compares your profile with competitors and lists sites that link to them and not to you. The Professional licence compares 6 sites and Enterprise 11. A bulk mode analyses up to 200 domains at once. See link gap analysis for how to use the output.
SEO SpyGlass reports on your whole profile. It is not a per-link tracker with alerts for placements you paid for. For that job, see how to track backlinks.
Desktop licences
The desktop format is the main trade-off. Paid licences list unlimited projects and unlimited backlinks, with no credits. In return, the work happens on your own computer. Some Trustpilot reviewers call the software slow and heavy on resources.
