Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.2
GPA, above 26 of the 50 other link building tools we grade
MentionAgent is a web-based link building agent. It reads your site, searches for blog posts on the same subject, finds and verifies each editor's email, drafts a pitch about that post and sends it from a sending domain and Gmail inbox it registers and warms up for you. Most deals it proposes are mutual mentions rather than paid placements, and it also checks twice a month whether ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini mention your brand.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about MentionAgent, taken from its own pages and our grades.
- 1
Best for blog mentions without paying for links
MentionAgent reads your site, finds blog posts on your subject and pitches each editor from a sending domain and Gmail inbox it sets up and warms for you.
- 2
Paid plans start at $99 a month

Web.
- 5
Blog prospecting and qualification
The agent works out what your site sells, searches for blog posts on that subject and checks each domain's authority and relevance before drafting anything.
- 6
Contact lookup and verification
For each post it finds the editor or author and verifies the email address before sending, to keep bounce rates down.
- 7
Pitches written per post
Each email is drafted about the specific article found. Drafts wait for your approval by default; auto-send can be switched on once warmup has started.
- 8
A 2.2 GPA, above 26 of 50
That is against the other link building tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
Keep it
To replace MentionAgent you would be making an AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for blog mentions without paying for links
MentionAgent reads your site, finds blog posts on your subject and pitches each editor from a sending domain and Gmail inbox it sets up and warms for you. Most deals are mutual mentions, it turns down sites that ask for payment, a new inbox starts at 5 emails a day, and each site costs $99 a month.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Starter is $99 a month for 1 site, 1 inbox and 5,000 credits, the top of this category's usual range. Extra inboxes are $80 a month each and extra client sites $99 each. |
| Free plan and trial | C | No free plan, but 50 credits on sign-up with no card, about 25 drafts. Paid plans carry a 14-day money-back guarantee. |
| Features | C | Blog prospecting, verified editor emails, a pitch per post, its own sending domain and inbox, replies and follow-ups, and AI visibility checks. The gap: it turns down sites that ask for payment, so it trades mentions rather than buying links. |
| Ease of use | C | No rating on record. It sets up the domain and inbox itself, but you approve drafts by default, and a new inbox takes four weeks to reach 40 emails a day. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web only. An MCP server lets Claude, Cursor or Codex review drafts and replies, and it works with Telegram and Gmail. No desktop or phone app. |
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 MentionAgent is for
- Fits if you want blog mentions without running outreach by hand
- Works for brands that want their own domain kept out of cold email
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you're willing to pay for placements, as it turns those sites down
- Tight if you need volume soon: a new inbox starts at 5 emails a day and reaches 40 in week four
- Pricey if you run several sites, at $99 a month per extra site and $80 a month per extra inbox
- Not for you if you want a free plan: sign-up gives 50 credits once, about 25 drafts
- Too light for content, audits or keyword research, as it only does off-page outreach
Good to know
Good for
- Founders and solo marketers who want links without running outreach by hand
- Agencies running separate outreach for several client sites
- Brands chasing mentions on blogs that AI assistants cite
Worth knowing
- There is no free plan: sign-up gives 50 credits once, and paid plans carry a 14-day money-back guarantee.
- A new inbox starts at 5 emails a day and reaches 40 in week four; one site tops out at 80 a day unless extra inboxes are added at $80 a month each.
- Extra client sites cost $99 a month each, with their own inbox and 5,000 credits; credits pay for drafts at 2 per outreach or reply email.
- It covers off-page outreach only: it does not write content, audit sites or research keywords, and it turns down sites that ask for payment.

What it does
Its main features, where it runs, what it works with and who makes it
1
Place it runs: Web
AI agent that finds blogs, pitches editors and sends from an inbox. Here is what it does, as its own site describes it, and what it covers: AI agents, inbox warm-up, AI search visibility, link outreach.
The gap: it turns down sites that ask for payment, so it trades mentions rather than buying links.
- Blog prospecting and qualification
- The agent works out what your site sells, searches for blog posts on that subject and checks each domain's authority and relevance before drafting anything.
- Contact lookup and verification
- For each post it finds the editor or author and verifies the email address before sending, to keep bounce rates down.
- Pitches written per post
- Each email is drafted about the specific article found. Drafts wait for your approval by default; auto-send can be switched on once warmup has started.
- Sending domain and inbox included
- It registers a separate sending domain, sets up a Gmail inbox on it and warms it up, so your own domain never sends cold email. The domain is transferred to you free on request.
- Replies, follow-ups and deals
- It follows up on quiet threads, drafts answers to editors, proposes the exact sentence to add once a deal is agreed and records the link when it goes live.
- AI visibility checks and MCP
- Twice a month it asks ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini buyer questions and shows answers that mention you. An MCP server lets Claude, Cursor or Codex review drafts and replies.

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 MentionAgent you would be making an AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It costs $1,188 a year.
What you could make
- Link outreach: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it.
- A network of real inboxes that open and answer your emails.
- The same prompts asked of ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI answers every day, and the answers kept.
- It plugs into other products, Claude, Cursor and Codex among them.
What this rests on. MentionAgent’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.
