Editorielle report card
Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 23, 2026
Best for UK journalist requests by daily email
Editorielle emails you journalists' requests for products, experts and businesses every weekday at noon UK time, and you pitch with one click, for £10 a month before VAT. There's no public trial and no refunds, pitches only go from the addresses signed up, and the Elle assistant's price isn't published.
Who Editorielle is for
- Fits if you're a UK small business or expert after editorial coverage
- Works for brands in beauty, fashion, food, home and travel
Who Editorielle is not for
- Not for you if you want to try before paying: trials need a promo code, and the terms give no refunds
- Tight if you want requests the moment they're approved, at £5 a month per instant category
- Watch out: the Elle pitching assistant is a separate monthly add-on with no price on the pricing page
- Skip it if your team uses different email domains, as Team members must share one company domain
- Watch out: prices are in pounds and exclude VAT, and no dollar prices are published
Why Editorielle gets a 2.0
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- BValue for money£10 a month before VAT for the newsletter and unlimited pitches, which even with VAT stays under the $20 where this category's cheapest quarter starts. Instant alerts are £5 a month per category on top.
- FFree plan and trialNothing free: no free plan and no public trial, as trials come only with promo codes, and the terms say no refunds are given.
- CFeaturesA daily request newsletter, click-to-pitch, 12 instant categories, a team dashboard and the Elle pitching add-on. It does the request job fully, but that's a smaller job, and Elle's price isn't on the pricing page.
- BEase of useNo rating on record, but there's nothing to set up: requests land in your inbox and you pitch from the email with one click.
- CPlatforms and integrationsWeb and email only, with no integrations on record. Pitches go only from the email addresses signed up.

Editorielle's GPA of 2.0 is higher than 13 of the 50 other link building tools we grade, and level with 12.
It stands best on ease of use (B, above 44 of 50) and worst on free plan and trial (F, above 0).

On features, ease of use and platforms it scores 2.3 out of 4. Nothing scores higher for less, though at least one tool matches that score at a lower price.

Keep Editorielle, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Editorielle 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: 25 of the 50 other link building tools grade higher. It costs $158.64 a year.
What you could not
- A network of journalists who post requests for sources.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Editorielle’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.

Optional instant categories send requests as soon as they are approved, and a paid add-on called Elle drafts pitches for review.
