Roxhill report card

1.8GPA

Weak · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 23, 2026

Best for UK PR teams wanting database and monitoring

Roxhill combines a journalist database with pitching notes, an AI assistant, press release sending, alerts, UK lifestyle slots and coverage monitoring. But no price is published and the annual fee is only given by sales, nothing is free, and distribution, historical search and spokespeople analytics sit on the higher bands.

Who Roxhill is for

  • Fits if you run PR in the UK and want a media database and monitoring under one login
  • Works for lifestyle PRs pitching regular slots in UK magazines

Who Roxhill is not for

  • Skip it if you want to see a price first, as the annual fee is only quoted by sales
  • Not for you if you want to try it first, as no free plan or trial is on record
  • Tight if you're on Core with 1 login: distribution and historical search start at Boutique, and spokespeople analytics at Enterprise
  • Watch out: extra logins and reports cost more, on top of the quoted fee
  • Too light for working from a phone app, as there's no native app, only the database in a phone's browser

Why Roxhill gets a 1.8

Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.

  • CValue for moneyNo price is published: the annual fee for the database and monitoring is quoted by sales, in bands from Core with 1 login to Enterprise with 5, so the price is only given on a sales call.
  • FFree plan and trialNothing free on record: no free plan and no trial, and getting started goes through sales.
  • BFeaturesJournalist search with bios and pitching preferences, an AI Journalist Assistant, release distribution, alerts for moves and media requests, 2,000+ UK lifestyle slots, monitoring and spokespeople analytics. It covers the PR route to links end to end.
  • CEase of useNo rating on record. It's a large platform with lists, alerts, Smart Folders and reports to set up before it pays off.
  • CPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, used in a phone's browser rather than a native app, with no integrations on record.

Keep Roxhill, or make your own?

Keep it

To replace Roxhill 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: 38 of the 50 other link building tools grade higher.

What you could make

  • Reports: an app builder makes this well.

What you could not

  • A network of journalists who post requests for sources.
  • Newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox.
  • AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
  • Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
  • The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.

What this rests on. Roxhill’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.
