Part 01 · Overview

Welcome

What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first

2.8

GPA, above 45 of the 50 other link building tools we grade

MentionMatch, formerly Help a B2B Writer, connects writers at B2B publications with experts who can supply quotes, anecdotes and data. Writers submit a request, the team approves it and emails it to registered sources whose areas of expertise match, and writers are encouraged to credit quotes they use with a link. It is free for both sides; a paid API feed serves agencies and software tools.

To get you started, here are 9 things to know about MentionMatch, taken from its own pages and our grades.

No rating on record, but nothing to set up: register as a source, pick your areas and matching requests come by email.

The report card

Best for free expert quote requests in B2B

MentionMatch, formerly Help a B2B Writer, emails experts the quote requests from B2B writers that match their areas, free on both sides. But it covers B2B topics only, free sources get requests a day after paying API subscribers, and each publication can send just three requests a week.

ToolGPA report cardMentionMatchGraded Oct 23, 2026
SubjectGradeComment
Value for moneyAThe service is free for sources and writers, and that's the whole product for most people. The paid API is $500 a month, for agencies and software tools that want requests instantly by webhook.
Free plan and trialBFree with no cap a normal source would reach. But free requests arrive a day later than API subscribers', who also get Verified Sender Status on replies, so free users answer second.
FeaturesCRequests matched by expertise, a writer form with approval, links for quotes used, a public page of today's requests and the API feed. It does matching fully, but that's a smaller job, and B2B topics only.
Ease of useBNo rating on record, but nothing to set up: register as a source, pick your areas and matching requests come by email.
Platforms and integrationsCWeb and email for everyone. The webhook feed to your own endpoint, Airtable, Notion or Asana comes only with the $500 API.
Grade point averageGood, out of 4.02.8

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 MentionMatch is for

  • Fits if you're a B2B marketer or founder who can supply quotes or data
  • Works for B2B writers who need original expert quotes

Who it is not for

  • Skip it if you work in consumer or general news, as requests are B2B only
  • Tight if deadlines are short, as free sources get requests a day later than API subscribers
  • Pricey if you only want requests sooner, as the API that sends them instantly is $500 a month
  • Watch out: writers are only encouraged, not required, to link to the sources they quote
  • Too light for a steady stream from any one title, as each publication can send at most three requests a week

Good to know

Good for

  • B2B marketers and founders earning mentions and links with expert quotes
  • Freelance and in-house B2B writers looking for original quotes
  • Agencies or software tools that resell expert requests, through the API

Worth knowing

  • Requests cover B2B topics only, such as marketing, SaaS, sales and SEO, not consumer or general news.
  • Free sources get requests a day later than API subscribers, who also get Verified Sender Status on replies.
  • The API price was read from its Stripe checkout, which showed rupees from India at Stripe's exchange rate.
  • Each publication can submit at most three requests a week, and the team approves each one first.

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 MentionMatch 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.

It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.8 is higher than 45 of the 50 other link building tools we grade. It costs $6,000 a year.

What you could make

  • Link outreach: an app builder makes this well.

What you could not

  • A network of journalists who post requests for sources.

What this rests on. MentionMatch’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.
