Tools for link building prospecting

Hello, Have someone used Alexa Content Overlap tool? to find similar sites which could be beneficial for link building prospecting. Since free trial require payment card details I can`t try this tool and curious to know who have tried. And perhaps you know more tools which can identify similar sites? So far the best option for me is Majestic but it`s not super accurate.

Michael Martinez: In my opinion the best tool for finding Websites to request links from is to use the search engine you hope will find those links. It doesn`t do you much good to use a 3rd-party tool that shows you sites that aren`t indexed (or which doesn`t show you sites that ARE indexed).

My partner`s outreach team only uses Bing and Google for this kind of research. They ignore all the SEO tool metrics. They look at the sites directly, how they appear in search, and filter out sites that are obviously selling spammy links.
