New Site Radar vs Majestic
Disclosure: we build New Site Radar. Everything below about Majestic comes from its public pages as we read them on October 4, 2026 (sources at the bottom). Products change; if something here is out of date, email hello@newsiteradar.com and we will fix it.
Majestic is a backlink index and link analysis tool with referring-domain analysis, link context and bulk backlink checks. New Site Radar ranks AI tool websites registered in 2025 or later that are gaining traffic, monthly.

When Majestic is the better fit

- You want bulk backlink checks.
When New Site Radar is the better fit
- You want AI tool sites that launched recently and are starting to grow, before they are well known.
- You want to know how far to trust each number: every figure is checked against a second source where one exists, and the evidence is on the site page (see the methodology).
- You want to query the data from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex over MCP.
Try it: the growth rankings have a free monthly sample, and Pro shows the full board.
