Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.8
GPA, above 2 of the 50 other link building tools we grade
Anewstip is a web-based media database for PR people and founders. It finds journalists and outlets by searching the articles and tweets they have published, then lets you save them to media lists, email pitches with open and click tracking, and set alerts on new coverage. A free account can search, but contact details, exports and pitching need a paid plan.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Anewstip, taken from its own pages and our grades.
Searching is simple, but you build lists, set alerts and keep an eye on a monthly allowance of pitch points before pitching pays off.
- 1
Best for finding reporters by the articles and tweets they've written
Anewstip finds journalists through what they've written and tweeted, then lets you build media lists, pitch them by email and set alerts.
- 2
Paid plans start at $160 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $160 per month, billed annually ($200 billed monthly).
- 3
There is a free plan
1 user, search, 2 media lists of up to 100 contacts and 2 alerts. No email addresses or phone numbers, no exports and no pitches.

Search more than 800,000 journalist profiles and 200,000 outlet profiles by name, title, outlet, topic, country and language.

Keep it
To replace Anewstip you would be making newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for finding reporters by the articles and tweets they've written
Anewstip finds journalists through what they've written and tweeted, then lets you build media lists, pitch them by email and set alerts. But the free plan hides every email address and phone number, Standard is $160 a month on yearly billing for one user, and coverage reports are a separate product with its own account.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | D | Standard is $160 a month billed annually ($200 monthly) for 1 user, which is where this category's dearest tenth starts. Professional is $400 a month, yearly only. Early-stage startups and solo PR pros can apply for $99 a month for up to a year. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A free plan for 1 user with search, 2 lists of 100 contacts and 2 alerts, but it hides email addresses and phone numbers and can't export or pitch, which is the part you'd pay for. The 7-day trial bills you automatically when it ends. |
| Features | C | Search across an index it puts at 200 million articles plus tweets back to 2006, 800,000+ journalist profiles, lists that update themselves, tracked email pitches and alerts. The gaps the listing names: coverage reports are a separate product, ClipCoverage, and the API is only on the custom Partners plan. |
| Ease of use | C | No rating on record. Searching is simple, but you build lists, set alerts and keep an eye on a monthly allowance of pitch points before pitching pays off. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only, with no desktop or phone app and no integrations on record. The API comes only with the custom-priced Partners plan. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Anewstip is for
- Fits if you're a founder or small PR team building your own media lists
- Works for people who want to find reporters by the stories they've already covered
Who it is not for
- Not for you if you're staying free, as the free plan hides contact details and can't export lists or send pitches
- Pricey if you pay monthly, at $200 against $160 billed annually, and Professional is $400 a month on yearly billing only
- Tight if you pitch a lot, as extra pitches are one-time packs from $59 for 500 on a paid plan
- Watch out: the 7-day trial bills you automatically when it ends unless you cancel first
- Skip it if you need coverage reports or an API, as reports are a separate product and the API is on the custom plan only

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Anewstip you would be making newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 38 of the 50 other link building tools grade higher. It costs $1,920 a year.
What you could make
- Link outreach: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox.
What this rests on. Anewstip’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
