JustReachOut vs LinkAssistant

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.

LinkAssistant supports link-building campaigns from prospect discovery and contact research through outreach and backlink monitoring. It lists 10+ ways to find opportunities, including searches tailored by location, niche, and SERP type. Users can also identify prospects from competitors’ backlink profiles using broken-link building and backlink-gap techniques. Prospect assessments can include InLink Rank, domain age, organic traffic, Page Authority, and indexed-page count. Outreach tools cover contact discovery, customizable email templates, and tracking sent emails, replies, and follow-ups. A verification tracker checks whether acquired links remain in place and can flag removals or nofollow tags. Reports can be customized, white-labeled, and scheduled for delivery. The software runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows. The free license allows up to 1,000 prospects per project. Professional costs $129 a year and Enterprise costs $259 a year; both list unlimited prospects per project. Enterprise also lists report saving, emailing, scheduling, and CSV, SQL, and HTML export. The company says its tools serve SEO professionals, marketing companies, website owners, and web developers.
