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
Outlink AI is web-based link building software that runs the outreach loop for you: it finds and screens sites worth a link, writes a pitch for each one from details on its pages, sends it from your connected Gmail or Outlook, follows up, sorts the replies and checks that the link went live. You set the targets, tone, volume and approval rules and review a weekly digest. It also drafts answers to journalist requests on Qwoted.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Outlink AI, taken from its own pages and our grades.
You set targets, tone, volume and approval rules and connect inboxes, then mostly read a weekly digest, but there's setup first.
- 1
Best for hands-off link outreach from your own inbox
Outlink AI finds sites, writes and sends pitches from your Gmail or Outlook, follows up, sorts replies and checks that links went live.
- 2
Paid plans start at $70 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $70 per month for 150 sends a day, billed annually ($88 billed monthly).

You can try it first
7-day free trial on the first workspace; card required, no charge until day 7
- 4
It runs on Web
Web, with a browser extension too.
- 5
Prospect discovery and screening
Finds candidate sites each cycle, scores them on relevance and authority, and filters out spam sites and private blog networks before any outreach.
- 6
Pitches sent from your inbox
Writes each email around a detail from the prospect's own page and sends it from Gmail or Outlook connected over OAuth, rotating inboxes within warm-up and daily limits.
- 7
Follow-ups and reply handling
Sends capped, timed follow-ups, sorts and negotiates replies, and passes the ones that need a decision to you.
- 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 Outlink AI 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 hands-off link outreach from your own inbox
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
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 Outlink AI is for
- Fits if you want link outreach to run with little of your time each week
- Works for agencies that need client approval of outreach copy and white-label reports
Who it is not for
- Not for you if you won't give a card for a trial: the 7-day trial needs one and covers only the first workspace
- Pricey if you run many clients, as each workspace is billed as its own subscription
- Tight if placements cost money, as Starter caps autopilot spend at $25 a month and Growth at $100
- Watch out: Qwoted pitches are drafted for you, but you still submit each one yourself
- Skip it if you want to send anything for free, as sending needs a paid plan
Good to know
Good for
- In-house SEO teams that want link outreach to run with little hands-on time
- Agencies running link building for several clients with branded reports
- Experts who answer journalist requests on Qwoted
Worth knowing
- There is no free plan: you can preview prospects and sample pitches free, but sending needs a paid plan after the 7-day card-backed trial.
- Each workspace is billed as its own subscription, and the trial covers only the first one.
- Plans cap what the autopilot spends for you each month on prospect data and placements ($25 on Starter, $100 on Growth), apart from the subscription.
- Outlink drafts Qwoted pitches but does not submit them; you approve and send each one yourself.

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 Outlink AI 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 $840 a year.
What you could make
- Link outreach and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it.
- A network of journalists who post requests for sources.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Outlink AI’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.
