The switch

Why people look for Outrank alternatives

People look for an Outrank alternative when they read how the credits are earned. Its own page says credits are the fuel for link building and that you earn them by letting Outrank place a relevant link in the articles it writes for you, and its launch announcement put the exchange on by default. No fact-checking step is described on its pages.

The fair answer

Outrank runs a blog on autopilot, and pays for your backlinks with other sites' links placed inside your articles.

Choose GrowGanic if you want the articles researched, written, illustrated, checked and published on your own site on a schedule, with nothing for you to run.
