Which link-building marketplace is actually best if your targets are in Ukraine 🇺🇦? Global rankings hide local differences — a platform that wins worldwide can be mediocre in one market. So we re-ran our 35-marketplace methodology on Ukrainian sites only: every site in the price matrix whose top organic-traffic country is Ukraine (per Ahrefs).
That leaves 12,553 real price listings across 2,941 Ukrainian-audience sites, with 23 marketplaces qualifying for the ranking (at least 50 Ukrainian sites listed).
What we measured
Every marketplace is priced on the same pool of Ukrainian sites, so they can be compared head-to-head. Five criteria, all real numbers from the listings — and the sliders below re-rank the table live:
- Catalog size — how many Ukrainian sites it sells.
- Best-price wins — how often it holds the cheapest price for a site among all vendors.
- Value per DR — median price ÷ Domain Rating; lower is better.
- Value per traffic — median price per 1,000 real monthly visits; lower is better.
- Site quality — average DR of the Ukrainian sites it carries.
The ranking — set your own weights
| # | Marketplace | Score | Ukrainian sites | Best-price | $ / DR | $ / 1k visits | Avg DR |

What the Ukrainian data says
- Ukraine has its own winner. Globally links.me leads, but on Ukrainian sites collaborator.pro takes #1 (score 85.4): 2,384 sites listed and the cheapest price 66.2% of the time.
- Scale won. The winner also owns the deepest Ukrainian catalog (2,384 sites) — unusual: size and price discipline normally trade off.
- links.me is the value pick for audience. Its median cost per 1,000 Ukrainian visits ($23.35) is the lowest of any large marketplace here (it ranks #2 overall).
- Shopping around pays. On 55% of Ukrainian sites sold by 2+ marketplaces, the priciest listing is at least 2× the cheapest — same site, same link.
How we scored
Dataset: the seotools.info Backlink Pricing matrix — 727k listings across 109k sites — filtered to sites whose top organic-traffic country is Ukraine (Ahrefs metrics). Each criterion becomes a 0–100 percentile rank against the other 22 qualifying marketplaces, then blended with the weights above (defaults 30 / 25 / 15 / 15 / 15 — identical to the global ranking). Nothing is hand-picked: move the sliders and the ranking recomputes instantly. Prices are list prices from the marketplaces' own catalogs.
