Backly vs JustReachOut

Backly finds potential backlink opportunities and prepares tailored posts for relevant online communities and sites. Users enter a website URL; Backly reads its niche, suggests destinations, and drafts content for each prospect. The homepage says a run returns 5–8 opportunities and takes about 60 seconds to produce drafts. Suggested destinations include Reddit, Quora, Indie Hackers, Hacker News, Dev.to, Product Hunt, Medium, Stack Overflow, niche forums, and Q&A sites. Backly checks whether proposed links resolve. Users review and edit each draft, then publish it themselves by copying and pasting; the service does not post on their behalf. Its stated audiences include SaaS founders, SEO consultants, indie hackers, and content creators. Starter costs €9 a month and includes five generations per month; Growth costs €29 a month for 20 generations, while Pro costs €79 a month for unlimited generations. Each tier includes niche analysis, opportunities, drafts, and link checks. Backly offers a 7-day free trial, requires a card to start, and says cancellation before day seven avoids a charge. It does not guarantee SEO results or rankings.

JustReachOut is web-based PR software for finding journalists and pitching them with AI assistance. Its journalist search covers a database of 700k+ contacts, and the outreach tool generates pitch emails and schedules follow-ups. A separate tool gathers pitch requests from six sources for keyword or category searches. Users can also find podcasts, contact them with templates, and schedule follow-ups; other listed tools cover broken-link building and guest-post outreach. The site says journalist email addresses are manually verified. Its pricing FAQ says the service is for building journalist relationships rather than press release distribution, does not offer database-only access, and does not allow mass pitch emails. The pricing note says plans start at $98/mo (annual). A seven-day trial is offered only on monthly plans and requires a credit card. Listed monthly options include Starter Outreach at $147 a month, with one team member, outreach for one brand, and 100 email sends per month. The founder says the service was created to help people such as solopreneurs, authors, startups, small businesses, and musicians handle PR themselves.
