Outlink AI finds sites, writes and sends pitches from your Gmail or Outlook, follows up, sorts replies and checks that links went live. But the trial needs a card, each client workspace is a separate subscription, and what the autopilot can spend on data and placements is capped by plan. - **Value for money: C.** Starter is $70 a month billed annually ($88 monthly) for 150 sends a day, inside this category's usual range. On top sits a monthly spend cap for prospect data and placements ($25 on Starter), and each workspace is its own subscription. - **Free plan and trial: D.** No free plan. You can preview prospects and sample pitches free, but sending needs a paid plan after a 7-day trial that takes a card, and the trial covers only your first workspace. - **Features: B.** Discovery that filters out spam sites and link networks, pitches from your inbox, capped follow-ups, reply handling, placement checks with Search Console index status, Qwoted drafts, client workspaces and white-label reports. It covers the whole job. - **Ease of use: C.** No rating on record. You set targets, tone, volume and approval rules and connect inboxes, then mostly read a weekly digest, but there's setup first. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web plus a browser extension, connected to Gmail, Outlook, Google Search Console and Qwoted. No desktop or phone app, and no API on record. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from Outlink AI's own pages on 23 October 2026.

That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It costs $840 a year. - You could make: Link outreach and reports: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it. - You could not: A network of journalists who post requests for sources. - You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
