The report card
Best for experts getting quoted by publishers
Connectively puts subject experts in touch with publishers: publishers post questions, experts answer, and the answers run on partner sites. We could not confirm any pricing, and several of its pages were blocked when read. Whether the mentions carry links is not stated.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No price is published on the pages we could read, so it sits in the middle by default. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free plan or trial on record. We could not confirm whether experts pay. |
| Features | D | One narrow job on record: publisher queries, expert pages, interviews and press releases. Nothing says what the mentions are worth for SEO. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. An expert makes a page and answers queries as they come. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only. An API is mentioned but no integrations are listed. |
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 Connectively is for
- Fits if you are an expert who wants to be quoted by publishers
- Works for publishers who need expert answers for contributed pieces
Who it is not for
- 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
Good to know

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 Connectively you would be making a network of journalists who post requests for sources. 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: 52 of the 53 other link building tools grade higher.
What you could not
- A network of journalists who post requests for sources.
- An API that other software can build on.
What this rests on. Connectively’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.
