Many authors run both tools side by side.

Three key differences

1

The job it's built for

Booklinker

Universal Amazon sales link — one link for a book that routes readers to their local Amazon product listing.

ReviewLinker

Review link — routes readers to their local Amazon reviews page (/product-reviews/<ASIN>).

2

What happens when payments or traffic stop

Booklinker

Per its terms, Booklinker reserves the right to reassign a link's destination when the link produces fewer than 30 organic clicks per month for three consecutive months.

ReviewLinker

Public links keep working after a paid subscription ends. Removal grounds are enumerated in the Terms — none are triggered by low traffic.

3

Review-workflow features + switchable mode

Booklinker

No documented review-page route or QR generator on the pages we reviewed.

ReviewLinker

Each link switches between review page and product page — same geo-routing, QR, and analytics either way. Mode changeable after the QR is printed. Per-book analytics broken by country and Amazon store.

Booklinker facts from booklinker.com and its terms, as reviewed 5 August 2026. Prices and features change — check the vendor's site before deciding.

What Booklinker is built for

If your job is pre-purchase marketing, Booklinker is the tool. If your job is a QR code inside a paperback that has to keep working after you stop paying, it's more machinery than the job needs.

Free universal sales links

The category price anchor. If a free sales link is the deciding factor, nothing beats free.

Established in the sales-link category

Per its site as reviewed 5 August 2026: 20,000+ authors and 300,000+ links published. That's the network you plug into for pre-purchase reach.

A paid platform sits behind it

GeoRiot Networks also runs Geniuslink — A/B routing, affiliate tagging, Choice Pages. If you outgrow free sales links, there's a clear upgrade path in-family.

What ReviewLinker is built for

The review step, after the read. QR codes inside paperbacks. Per-book analytics broken by country and store. Links that keep working after you stop paying.

Links keep working after you stop paying

Public links stay live after the paid subscription ends. A QR code printed inside a paperback keeps working.

One link, two jobs — switchable mode

Each link toggles between review page and product page — same geo-routing, QR, and analytics either way. Mode is changeable after the QR is printed. Product mode for launches and campaigns; review mode for post-read.

Tested routing to the local reviews page

Routes to amazon.<tld>/product-reviews/<ASIN> — the local reviews page with a working Write-a-review button. Behaviour tested 5 August 2026 (UK, ASIN 1944020284).

Per-book analytics

Clicks broken by book, country, and Amazon store — across all 17 Amazon marketplaces.

Editable after print

Change a link's country routing without reprinting. Add marketplace overrides without touching the book.

Who should use which

Use Booklinker if the primary job is a free universal Amazon sales link for pre-purchase channels — social posts, ads, an author-site hero. It's established, free, and does that job thoroughly.

Use ReviewLinker if a printed QR code inside a book has to keep working long-term, if per-book analytics matter, or if you specifically want routing to the Amazon reviews page rather than the product listing.

Use both — this is the common setup. Booklinker for pre-purchase marketing, ReviewLinker for post-launch reviews. They live in different parts of the book's journey.

Questions

Can I use ReviewLinker and Booklinker together?+

Yes — this is the common setup. Booklinker covers pre-purchase marketing: social posts, ads, the hero of your author site. ReviewLinker covers post-read moments: paperback back matter, ARC follow-ups, launch teams. They live in different parts of the book's journey and don't overlap.

Is ReviewLinker a replacement for Booklinker?+

No. They solve different problems. Booklinker publishes universal Amazon sales links. ReviewLinker publishes review links routing to the local Amazon reviews page. Many authors use both.

Does ReviewLinker also handle sales links?+

Yes. Each ReviewLinker link switches between review page and product page — same geo-routing, same QR code, same analytics either way. Mode can be changed after a QR is printed. That said, we're Amazon-focused and review-first. If universal sales links across many retailers (Amazon, Apple Books, Kobo, B&N) are the primary need, Books2Read covers more ground and it's free.

How much does each cost?+

Booklinker is free. ReviewLinker Pro is $20/month or $149/year. If free is the deciding factor for a sales-link setup, Booklinker wins clean — that's what free is built for. ReviewLinker is paid because a different job (link permanence, review workflow, per-book analytics) needs a maintained service.

Which Amazon stores does each support?+

ReviewLinker routes to 17 Amazon marketplaces: the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium, Ireland, Sweden, Poland, Japan, India, Brazil, and Mexico. Booklinker's parent (Geniuslink) publicly lists 20+ Amazon stores; Booklinker's own coverage tracks Amazon's live marketplaces.

Will my ReviewLinker links keep working if I cancel?+

Yes. Existing public review links stay live after cancellation — the QR code you printed inside the book keeps working. Pro tools pause until you resubscribe. Removal grounds are enumerated in our Terms. This link permanence is the core reason ReviewLinker exists as a paid product.
