# BacklinkGPT vs BuzzStream

BuzzStream is a traditional outreach CRM built around contact history and team process. BacklinkGPT is different: an AI agent that hunts backlinks for your domain every night — and you approve every send.

## Choose BacklinkGPT if

- You want an agent, not a CRM to maintain: it scans SERPs nightly, judges every page with a written rationale, finds the right contact, and drafts the pitch.
- You want autonomy with a safety rail: nothing sends without your approval, sends stay inside your window, and senders warm up automatically.
- You want honest capacity pricing: plans sell senders + daily pace; credits (2,000 / 6,000 / 20,000) are a fair-use meter, not a puzzle.

## Choose BuzzStream if

- You want a classic outreach CRM with strong contact and relationship tracking.
- Your team already works import-first (Ahrefs, Semrush, spreadsheets) and mainly needs outreach execution.
- You need mature team permissions and can work with non-real-time link checks.

## TL;DR

- BuzzStream is an outreach CRM with a familiar campaign-and-list model: you build the lists, run the campaigns, and keep the records.
- BuzzStream link monitoring runs on a two-week cadence (not real-time).
- BacklinkGPT is an autonomous agent working your domain: it hunts every night, judges every page with a written rationale, and drafts the outreach — nothing sends without your approval.
- Pick BuzzStream for CRM-heavy operations. Pick BacklinkGPT when you want the pipeline moving while you sleep.

## Workflow (how teams actually use it)

### BacklinkGPT workflow
1. **Enter your domain**: The agent reads your site, picks target pages, seeds keyword angles, and judges its first prospects in minutes.
2. **It hunts every night**: Nightly SERP scans, competitor backlink mining, and contact discovery keep the pipeline stocked — on your timezone, within your plan.
3. **You approve, it lands**: Drafts wait in your review queue; approved sends go out in your send window, replies get triaged, and live links are tracked.

### BuzzStream workflow
1. **Build and manage contact lists**: Organize prospects and contacts in a CRM-first model.
2. **Track relationship history**: Keep notes, touchpoints, and engagement details over time.
3. **Run outreach sequences**: Send email and track opens/replies in a more traditional outreach flow.
4. **Manage tasks and follow-ups**: CRM workflows and reminders keep outreach consistent.
5. **Reporting**: Share campaign and relationship metrics with your team.
