Which one is for you
Pick Connectively if
- Fits if you are an expert who wants to be quoted by publishers
- Works for publishers who need expert answers for contributed pieces
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you need to know what it costs: the pages we could read show no plans
- Not for you if you need links from it: whether mentions carry links is not confirmed
- Too light for a full link-building plan, since it only handles expert quotes
- Watch out: its FAQ, API and review-process pages were blocked by a security check, so limits are unknown
Pick Qwoted if
- Fits if you're an expert who wants press quotes without hiring a PR agency
- Works for PR agencies placing several clients in news stories
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay free, at 2 pitches a month, requests 2 hours late and no rollover of unused pitches
- Skip it if you draft pitches with AI, as its terms ban it and even light AI editing can get a pitch flagged
- Not for you if you'd rather pitch by email, as every pitch has to go through Qwoted
- Pricey if a team shares it, as team features and white labeling need the custom-priced Teams plan
- Watch out: the pricing page doesn't say whether Pro's $149 a month is billed monthly or yearly
How we grade them
| 1.4GPAConnectivelyWeak | 1.8GPAQwotedWeak | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CNo price is published on the pages we could read, so it sits in the middle by default. | DPro is $149 a month, and the page doesn't say whether that's billed monthly or yearly. That's the start of this category's dearest tenth, for 35 pitches a month, and team features need the custom-priced Teams plan. |
| Free plan and trial | FNo free plan or trial on record. We could not confirm whether experts pay. | CThe free Basic plan gives you a profile reporters can search, alerts and 2 pitches a month. Requests show up 2 hours late, though, and unused pitches don't roll over, so you'll hit the wall fast. |
| Features | DOne narrow job on record: publisher queries, expert pages, interviews and press releases. Nothing says what the mentions are worth for SEO. | CReporter requests, expert profiles in a searchable database, alerts, pitch intelligence that shows how crowded a request is, and an events and awards list. It does the journalist-request job fully, but that's a smaller job. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. An expert makes a page and answers queries as they come. | CNo rating on record. You build expert profiles before pitching, and the rules are strict: pitches go through Qwoted only, and even lightly AI-edited ones can get flagged. |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
